We are a scuba diving center located in Tamarindo, Guanacaste province, Costa Rica. We provide scuba diving and snorkeling trips as well as diving certification courses
We had a very good time
Our instructor was very friendly patient and knowledgeable. He knew exactly where to go to see the most exciting sea life. We will be doing this again.
I recommend this to all my friends and family
We had a fantastic experience with Tamarindo Diving Center, from the warm welcome at reception to the friendly and professional boat crew. We received a clear and helpful briefing about our options for snorkeling and scuba diving.
The next morning we boarded the boat, and my scuba instructor, Isa, took amazing care of me during my very first dives. She helped me with the equipment and clearly explained what to expect on our discovery dive. Underwater, Isa was incredibly patient and supportive. She literally held my hand at the beginning and gradually gave me more freedom as I became more confident.
I did two unforgettable dives, learned a lot from Isa, and had so much fun. I highly recommend Tamarindo Diving Center and especially Isa as an instructor!
We had a wonderful time on our snorkeling expedition to the Catalina Archipelago. The crew at Tamarindo Diving was fantastic! Everyone was welcoming and friendly, and they really know how to create a great experience for the clients. They make sure you’re safe and comfortable and they really emanate the Pura Vida life! Would 10/10 recommend Tamarindo Diving if you’re looking for a great snorkeling or diving experience while in Tamarindo.
I had a great time! This diveshop is very professional and our Divemaster Isa was awesome! It felt as she showing off her home under the sea. We are able to see many sharks, moray eels, puffer fish, scorpion fish, stars, sea urchins, tumpret fish and many others.
FYI for international travelers, I arrived by plane ( Sansa ) , took off at San José at 5:45 AM and 45 min later I arrived at Tamarindo and I had a driver wating for me to take me to the dive shop that is 10 minutes away. 20 mins later I was on the boat on the way to the island. You can staty the night with enough surface interval to take a flight back to San Jose next day or get a shared 5 hour shuttle back to San Jose on the same day.
I would definitely return.
