EXCELLENTBased on 252 reviewsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Joey D2024-11-12Did the beginners dive excursion through Carnival Cruise. Took a ferry over to SandDollarSports which was a very easy experience. once there we went into a classroom with Sergio (i believe that was his name) and were shown the basics of diving, how the equipment worked, what we were going to do, and what to expect. After the class we met our instructor Ivan and got fitted for the equipment. Once in the water we practiced using everything and were given more instruction on how to use the gear and what to expect. Once we began to swim to the deeper area holding on to a buoy Ivan helped us each get under the water and practice reliving the pressure and not holding our breath. Ivan was intense during this time, not in a bad way, he was making sure that all of us in the group were comfortable and safe before he let us really get down and start exploring. The experience was amazing, we got to see so much and Ivan stuck with us the whole time showing us tons of life under the water. My wife was still trying to get the hang of everything and mostly stuck to the surface for the duration. Towards the end she felt more comfortable and was wishing she got to go deeper. Well Ivan was nice enough to offer a second dive for anyone who wanted to do it so she went out a second time in which she got to go deep and explore. We got pictures taken (with a Mermaid!!) under the water and I was impressed how the mermaid and camera man didnt even have scuba gear, they were able to swim down and take pictures only holding their breath. The bar was fantastic and the staff was very friendly. Because we did the second dive we missed the ferry back but the staff was kind enough to get us a taxi back to port which was a short 5 minute drive. It was our favorite part of the trip, an absolute blast.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Ananda Gama2024-11-05I did participate on the Discover Scuba Diving with the Sand Dollar Team, and it was incredible; our instructor Manuel had a lot of patience and knowledge; he made us feel very comfortable and safe during the experience; the Sand Dollar Team also work with high standards safety regulations and make the experience memorable. It was my first time and for sure I will do it again. They also have a photographer named Manuel that take your pictures during the activity and you have the option to buy it at the end, what is really amazing and accessible . The customer service was also amazing, everybody very friendly and proactive.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Sergey Shimshovich2024-11-04Our dive instructor Sergio was very good.

Even before we get to our scuba destination, Manny, let us know on what to expect and they even provide us a little boat ride to and from the port. It's about a 5 min boat ride. And the little info session was great. The man who was teaching us was great. Then came the actual Scuba Diving. And let me tell you, I was scared. BUT our instructor, Sylvina, was amazing. I think she could tell I was nervous and she really accommodated that. Everyone in general was just upbeat, supportive, and nice. We had a great time. And the restaurant there is nice as well! It's such a great view to get pictures of cruise ships in the background. Coming from someone so scared to the point of wanting to cancel, this is worth going to! Try it! you won't regret it (:Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Rhonda Lees2024-08-20Fabulous dive with the team, especially Bernardo.
