I had a great experience diving with ChrisDiving in Costa Rica. Chris was pleasant, knowledgeable and very conscientious throughout the day. Because he hadn’t dived with me before, he brought three larger tanks so there was plenty of flexibility around my air consumption. That kind of preparation made a real impression on me.
He also picked me up from my resort and drove me back afterward, which made the whole day very easy. I really liked his boat and everything felt well organized and comfortable. Lunch, water, drinks, baked goods and fruit were all provided.
The diving itself was beautiful. The water was a rich blue with good visibility and mesmerizing underwater formations. I saw mantas, tortoises and eels, and we even caught a glimpse of humpback whales from the boat.
His home base is impressive too, with a lot of equipment on hand and a purpose-built pool with a deep section and exterior viewing windows, so students can have photos taken during the pool portion of their certification.
There was also a photographer diving with us, and afterward Chris sent me all of the photos and videos from the day.
Overall, it was a very professional, thoughtful and enjoyable experience. I’d happily dive with Chris again and would definitely recommend him.
