La calidad, confianza y cercanรญa de Sergio como profe no se puede explicar. Es muy humano y sabe muy bien lo que hace y como ayudarte a aprender y disfrutar de esta maravillosa experiencia. Ya he vuelto otra vez con ellos y no serรก la รบltima. Gracias a todo el equipo que lo hace tan bien antoine jeanApril 24, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nous avons fait trois plongรฉes avec ce club, la premiรจre un peu pour voir le niveau des plongeurs. Rien ร dire au niveau de l'encadrement et des sites, on a vu des tortues, des raies mantas, des requins et le site รฉtait top avec une super visi, le personnel รฉtait trรจs sympathique. Par contre le matรฉriel laisse ร dรฉsirer ! Premiรจre plongรฉe un amรฉricain qui plongeait avec nous a รฉtรฉ obligรฉ de changer de dรฉtenteur, fuite au niveau du robinet. Sur ma deuxiรจme plongรฉe fuite au niveau de mon direct systรจme pas grave mais bon... Et sur la troisiรจme plongรฉe l'inflateur de la stab de ma fille devait รชtre sale ou fuyait et du coup envoyait lรฉgรจrement de l'air en permanence dans le gilet qui donc se gonflait, elle รฉtait obligรฉe de purger toute les minutes environ ! Matรฉriel ร revoir surtout au prix des plongรฉes ! Julio Castro PardoApril 14, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excelentes inmersiones en Isla del Caรฑo, unos instructores muy simpaticos, en especial Angello y una comida al finalizar riquisima.

He is an AMAZING guide with an encyclopedic knowledge of the national park. As a boy he grew up close to Corcovado and he knows how to look and where to look so that you don't miss anything. While you should keep your expectations low so as to not be disappointed, my wife and i were fortunate that Sandro was able to guide us to see multiple tapirs (5 i think to include a mama and baby but they ask looked alike to me), 3 of the 4 native monkey species (howler, spider, & capuchin), macaws, wild turkeys, vultures, a boa constrictor, leaf cutter ants, golden orb spiders, an agouti, several crocodiles, snook (fish), jesus christ lizards, and even a sloth ๐ฆฅ! Sandro's greatest strength is that, because he grew up with the jungle, he could stop and tell us several facts about the different trees, plants, and animals and related that to how ancient cultures/ natives used them. He educated us and inspired us along the tour. He was super helpful in letting us use his telescope to take pictures with our cell phones. (We got some amazing photos!) Sandro was super knowledgeable, patient, kind, friendly and cared about us having the greatest day that we could have at the park. He was very in touch with nature and protecting all of her beauty... he truly had a sense and appreciation and love for Costa Rican nature. He told about the history of the park and the practical and medicinal uses of several plants (to include Ibuprofen and root beer from sasparilla). We had a tasty lunch and even got to cool off in the water after visiting the waterfall. The only reason I am giving Sandro 5 star rating is because the scale does not go higher! I promise you will have an incredible trek with Sandro as your guide! Pura Vida! Helen FletcherApril 5, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We just had 2 great days diving with Drake Divers. My son did his PADI open water and I did 4 dives. Zobe and Angello were both brilliant guides and Eric and Sergio (I think!) were fantastic teachers for my son. The visibility was mixed, but we saw loads - turtles, white tips, numerous morays and fabulous shoals of fish. The dive masters kept an eye on everyone with regular checks for air. The boat captain and the whole crew were helpful - the captain even pointed out and stopped for 2 humpbacks, which was magical. Thanks so much to all of you for answering my many questions when I booked, picking us up from our hotel and for giving my son the most fantastic first experience of diving!!

Irene Naverรกn.RMarch 23, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Experiencia muy bonita, recomendable 100%. El capitรกn del barco navegรณ con muchรญsima destreza, la recogida de pasajeros y el desembarque fueron perfectos. Toda la tripulaciรณn y los dos guรญas fueron atentos, divertidos y con explicaciones claras y variadas. Conseguimos ver muchรญsima variedad de fauna marina; mantas raya muy grandes, tiburones, tortugas, e infinidad de peces preciosos. La parada para el picnic estuvo genial, muy completa, y en todo momento toda la tripulaciรณn estaba pendiente de las personas del grupo. Recomiendo esta excursiรณn con ese grupo de trabajo. Buen trabajo chicos! Gracias. Christina HuberMarch 22, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wir waren heute mit den Drake Divers schnorcheln vor Caรฑo Island und haben Fische, Schildkrรถten und einen Manta Rochen gesehen. Auf der Hinfahrt hatten wir das absolute Glรผck einen Buckelwal und ihr Junges beobachten zu kรถnnen. Die Crew hat uns dieses Erlebnis ermรถglicht, auch wenn der Trip sich dadurch zeitlich verlรคngert hat. Ich bin Ihnen sehr dankbar dafรผr. Auf der Walbeobachtungstour in Uvita hatten wir davor kein Glรผck gehabt. Auf dem Boot waren wir insgesamt 10 Kunden plus 2 Crew Mitglieder. Mir wurden hinterher auf Nachfrage noch Fotos von einem Poster von den Tieren zugeschickt, die wir beim Schnorcheln gesehen hatten. Kann den Anbieter nur empfehlen.
