"Our experience with Octopus Dive School was wonderful. Nuria and her staff were attentive, knowledgeable and just plain fun to be around. The shop has a family type of atmosphere. My wife and I took an advanced open water class, and a friend of ours took the open water diver class. All three of us had very positive experiences. Our Dive Instructor Alejandro Abad was excellent. His ability to explain and demonstrate advanced concepts and techniques was superb. In addition to instruction, we dove for several days after our classes were over and had a great time. The boat was clean and safe with an excellent Captain, and all of our rental equipment was fairly new and in good working order. We will definitely go back to this shop again."

We have Cressi, Mares and Scuba Pro BCDs for rent in all standard sizes, some of which have weight integrated systems. All of our regulators are Scuba Pro. We have been an authorized Suba Pro dealer since 2005.

We also have lots of different types of snorkels, however with the seas being generally so calm here there is no need to use one unless you wish too.
