TL;DR: Hector, Pablo, and Feli are wonderful, and Try Scuba Diving was the highlight of our trip. With no prior experience, we felt safe and had an amazing time.
Full review:
My husband and I used Try Scuba Diving while we were in Los Cabos for our honeymoon. Neither of us had done any diving before. It was an absolutely INCREDIBLE experience. Pablo, Hector, and Feli provided everything we needed (including wetsuits!) for our scuba adventure. To provide the best level of service, they only do private tours, so it was just my husband and I with the three of them.
Pablo was our main instructor for the day. We sat on the beach and he explained the three primary rules to us (simplified here for brevity): 1) always breathe, 2) never don't breathe (don't hold your breath!), and 3) equalize your ears often.
Within 25 min, we were suited up and getting into the water. Pablo dove with us, Hector snorkeled with us to monitor and take video, and Feli stayed at the surface with the safety raft. Pablo constantly checked in on us to make sure we were doing okay, to remind us how to clear our masks underwater, and to encourage us to stay relaxed. Even with lower visibility that day, Pablo made sure we got to see starfish and lots of other colorful aquatic creatures!
I had been concerned about going scuba diving without being certified first, but their three simple rules, plus Pablo's constant guidance under water, made us feel completely comfortable so we could just enjoy the experience.
I've wanted to learn to scuba dive for more than 5 years, but the cost for certification has always dissuaded me. This allowed us to try scuba diving in a really cost-effective way - we had an incredible time, and will definitely be getting certified this year!
We can't wait to return and scuba with Hector, Pablo, and Feli again, and are already figuring out how to make it happen within the year. read more
