Excellent

Published on Jan, 2025

Great diving! Specially with Ivan as instructor. The boat was good, the equipment is good too and everything is very well organised. All the staff is very friendly.

An Unforgettable First Dive Experience!

Published on Jan, 2025

Diving with Ivan was amazing! As a beginner, his instructions were clear and reassuring. The sea dive was fantastic, with lots of fish to see. The team was very friendly, professional, and made the whole experience enjoyable. The fresh fruits and drinks were a great touch. Thanks to Ivan and the team!

Amazing experience!

The pool lessons was very helpful. The instructors are very friendly & kind. They wont hesitate to help you if they need to. They're also very encouraging. Jose & Angie were our instructors.

I’m now PADI certified and I saw a Giant Manta Ray!

Published on Jan, 2025

Great experience getting my PADI Open Water Diver certification from this dive shop. Everyone at Pacific Coast spoke English and communicated well over email to answer my questions and make all necessary arrangements. Ivan Neira was my dive instructor and is a very good and very patient instructor. He taught me all the necessary skills per PADI dive curriculum. The best part of the experience were the four training dives at the Catalina Islands. Not only did we practice the diving skills, but I also saw two Giant Manta Rays! I also saw White-tipped Reef Sharks, Spotted Manta Rays, eels, starfish and tons of different kinds of tropical fish. I did the eLearning portion of the training before arriving in Flamingo, one day of pool work in Flamingo (with Ivan) and two days of open water dives.

First time divers

This crew was awesome. First dive experience and felt super comfortable. Ivan was our guide during our dives and made for an extremely enjoyable time. We still talk about this day and can’t wait for our next dive thanks to these guys!
