They are a PADI Dive Resort, still quite new, built into one side of Puerto Nuevo Hotel and Villas. We were eager to see some of the new dive sites now accessible to us so close to our home in San Diego. The shop layout is very nicely planned with a classroom, gift shop, big rinse tanks, gear drying lockers, and hot showers in case you've already checked out of your hotel room. You can drive your gear right up to the patio if you bring your own equipment. We shuttled to a marina about fifteen minutes away. The boat does not have a compressor on board but was spacious enough to hold all of us with our rebreathers and variously sized three tanks each. (They have AL80s in DIN or yoke and weights, but a lot of us like to bring our own gear everywhere.) There is a small dry storage area below and a bathroom with enough room to use without taking off your drysuit. Gear bags were stored above and personal dive gear in crates below the benches. Guides led us around and through the Uribe, and we dove on our own in the kelp forest. Because the Uribe has tilted to the starboard side months after sinking, it was good to go with someone who knows the layout well. We are used to unguided dives in California, so we were given that option for dive three. Everyone on staff was friendly and professional. It was truly a pleasure working with them and we hope to plan another trip soon!

Wonderful and personable. Can't say enough good things about this amazing team and OE. Gina and Anisha, who assisted were helpful and encouraging. And Savanah in the rentals was so efficient and positive . It's truly a testament to how great the OE company is that everyone is so positive and friendly there. THE place to go in San Diego!

All the guides and staff are great but a special shout out to Nicole who went above and beyond to help us with EVERYTHING from gear adjustments, to assisting throughout the "getting ready" process to "getting out." She was expert at finding many creatures and helped us to enjoy the best of Bonaire's reefs. She found octopus, turtles, eels and squid among many small and delicate sea life. Guided shore diving is the way to go when you want to concentrate on enjoying your dives and not on navigating them! And VIP is by far the best. Top notch equipment, fully stocked dive shop, beautiful place to begin and each dive journey. Great place for beginners to learn and for experienced divers to advance.

Although it's becoming a rarity, it's a pleasure meeting people who love their jobs and truly appreciate customer service. While pressed for time seeking to secure a new set of SCUBA fins it became apparent there were none to be had within 100 miles (including ordering them on Amazon ... which I do my best to not use when a "brick & mortar" location is nearby). Either way I'm grateful that another dive shop and my dive master referred me to "Oren and Baja Diving & Watersports." Although I was pleased hearing he had them in stock, I was blown away by the customer service Oren and his shop provided! In the end they are great people that I look forward to working with in the future and trust you too will enjoy this terrific company.

If you are spearfisherman, you find all the goodies you need here from the beginner level to the more experienced underwater hunter, BDW has all you need and the excellent customer service. This is also one of the only places in San Diego where you find gear from the french company Beuchat, amazingly warm wetsuits and many other fantastic items.

Our experience with Beyondland Adventures was unfortunately a mixed bag that left us unable to…read morecomplete our dives that weekend. The pool day was a great start. Daphna was attentive, supportive, and helped us have a successful day of pool dives -- we felt like we were in good hands. The one hiccup was that the wetsuit provided to my fiancé for the pool session had gaping holes in the knees. By the end of the weekend, my partner wasn't sure whether more pool time would be needed before moving on to the ocean dives. To feel comfortable about the upcoming dive she checked in advance to confirm that the ocean dive suit would be a different one -- not the damaged pool suit. We were assured it would be. Come Friday evening, we arrived at the shop to pick up gear ahead of Saturday's ocean dives, only to find that the wetsuit set aside for us was the same pool suit with holes. When we raised the issue and asked about viable fixes, things quickly went sideways. Skyler seemed overwhelmed and unable to work through a solution with us. Mid-conversation -- while we were still actively discussing options -- Skyler walked away, leaving us standing there confused and disheartened. Emotions ran high, so we stepped away to collect ourselves. I went back in trying to find a moment of Skylar's time to help bring acknowledgement to the feelings that arose. It seemed at first we would get to have that but I then at a moment things changed and we didn't get to solve it then and things got busy. I waited patiently hoping for a moment to come but it never did. At the end of the day after waiting hours I could share the issue in more detail and how it escalated, but left feeling unheard about the issue when explanation of issue was responded with retorts of how I might handle things. I did my best to make it a constructive conversation still aiming for a solution - but the experience was disheartening and the point was reached that nothing was going to work. Unfortunately we didn't complete the weekend dives with the gear and the experience on Friday detracted from the whole thing. I do want to give credit to Daphna, who stepped in afterward to help us arrange things so we could still get certified on our upcoming trip. She reached out and was responsive to concerns and ultimately wanted us to enjoy the activity of Scuba diving wherever that would be.

If you're looking for a dive shop that has great instructors and staff, Beyond Land Adventures is it! My wife was worried about me taking my kids in the pool and worse, the ocean, but no need to worry! The instructors and dive guides are super patient and helpful. We started with Chris, who did our two pool days with us, and 1 ocean dive. Because of the rain a couple weeks ago, the rest of the weekend was cut short. They worked with our schedule and we were able to finish our ocean dives this weekend. Chris was super patient and calm, especially with my nervous 16 year old daughter. I was bummed we wouldn't get him as our instructor this weekend until we met Spencer, who was equally as good! He, Lynsey, and Sean were our instructor and guides this weekend. All super patient and amazing people! The other staff back at the shop are equally as great. Had to switch out a couple pieces of equipment we sized wrong. No worries, they were great helping us switch to the correct size. Their shop prices might seem high when you're getting your first bits of equipment, but if you've done your homework, you'll find they're actually about the same price as Amazon and online scuba stores. Yeah, you might get 10% cheaper, but why gamble? BLA will back up everything they sell us Thanks again BLA! Can't wait to do our first scuba in Cozumel over spring break.
