I had the best time diving here!!! For starters, the dive was very personal, we had two guides with me and one other person which made it a very intimate experience. The person diving with me ran out of air before me so one of the dive masters stayed under with me for a longer period of time instead of making me go up along with the other person. I truly appreciated this. The guides also study and read your ability to dive and take you to the dive sites that will best suit you. They also challenge you if they feel you are capable.

It has been a wonderful experience I'll always keep in my heart and mind. I've taken here my PADI open water and thanks to my amazing instructor Kate and the always present Claudius that with their professionality have permitted me to live this new adventure with safe and consciousness. Thank you very much for your competence and reliability. Furthermore also the boat experience has been really pleasant, excellent food (I'm Italian,so trust me 😜).

I did the 3 dive day trip. I can't recommend this company enough, very well organized and communicative, the service provided was top notch. You can tell the owner really cares and provides an exceptional service. I met him and he's a great person. They provide delicous and prentiful food, towels, bing bangs and snacks for after dive. The diving equipment is newer and very well kept, the crew is awesome as well as the dive master Ricardo. The diving sites we went to were amazing, saw many mantas, turtles and sharks.

Diving with Claudius and his team was a great experience! Claudius made us feel safe, specially for my girlfriend who got her first real diving experience, I would definitely recommend his crew. The 3 dives experience in one day was also great, changing spots to dive allowed us to see different kind of see life... Thanks to Diving First!!

Amazing experience! We only had 1 day to dive and were so glad to have done it with Diving First - it was all in all a beautiful day. It was super easy to book, Klaudius spoke great English and was very helpful, and the boat, facilities and equipment were fantastic. The boat was also so spacious and great to hang out on, and the lunch was freshly cooked and incredible! We also had free coffee, snacks and breakfast, and all in all were very well looked after. We were sad not to have had more time with them and would 100% come back.

The experience with diving first was amazing! I came and asked to do the open water certificate very last minute and they arranged everything for me, they are really on point on everything and make sure to make the dive a great experience on the boat and during the dive and during the training in the pool. The boat is amazing and food is great cooked by a chef on the boat l, breakfast was awesome with fresh juice and some toasts. The staff was very nice and helpful. I recommend this place to get certified or to do fun dives.

Best dive center ever. Best day trip dives, you get warm cooked food, not rice box. Very humble owner, experienced n nice crews, best guides. Thank you for taking care of me. At first I'm a bit afraid to dive in Bajo because my dive log is less than 50 in a span of 10years, but the guide took care of me really well. I travel alone and the owner recommend me the homestay and driver also. Great hospitality. Will dive with Diving First again when I back to Bajo.
