Ocean sightseeing! - We scuba dived with Pacific Coast Dive Center 23 years ago to the same locations but this time we snorkeled- just as good of an experience as before- very attentive, informative, and safe! Risky is great as were our other guides- but he was sure to make everyone feel welcome, comfortable, and provided information about each species we saw.

A good snorkeling trip for families with good instruction! - My family went snorkeling with Pacific Coast Dive Center on a trip with Risky, Lucia, Billy, and one other instructor (a British chap; I apologize for not remember your name!).
We had a lovely time! The boat was well appointed (even had a bathroom) and had good facilities for getting divers on and off.
The instructors / leaders were good, patiently getting everyone moving in the right direction, while also emphasizing safety and sharing knowledge of the area.
Conditions were less than ideal (a lot of swells), but we still saw some lovely wildlife including puffer fish and a white tipped shark (harmless and not at all scary).
A great trip and I would highly recommend it!

Snorkel with Risky! - We had an amazing time snorkeling with Risky!
Saw many big schools of fish which Risky helped identify. We also learned a lot about the islands.

Wonderful experience - This tour was super fun and the guides were amazing. Risky was our main guide and he made sure we were safe even when the waves were pretty big due to the wind. He made sure to highlight and repeat a lot of important safety information so we always knew what we were doing and what we shouldn’t do. I did get sea sick and they were super helpful with that as well. Got to see many cool fish and a type of sting ray!

Perfect day!! - Highly recommend this tour. Very knowledgeable guides that are super friendly. We felt incredibly safe the entire time, and were able to rely on Isa while we snorkeled to know where to find the best spots and to know where it was safe to be. The fresh fruits were delicious and the perfect mid-trip snack. Would definitely do this one again if we are ever back in the area!

10/10 would recommend - Amazing experience!
We were going as a group of 4 (2 divers and 2 snorkelers), and we all had a wonderful time. The team is incredible, made us feel at ease and taken care of. Great service both in English and Spanish, all smiles and we were treated like royalty.
Risky, Laura and Aurelia were all very helpful, nice and patient with our group, apart from being local experts of the islands.
Plenty of fish to see and nice warm weather, ice tea and tropical fruit, true pura vida!

The perfect experience! - This was a wonderful experience. The staff and crew were so accommodating and supportive to everyone. They are knowledgeable and very professional, safety was a top concern but did not interfere with having fun. Our first snorkeling spot of the trip we saw a lot of beautiful schools of tropical fish. It was incredibly relaxing. The second stop of the day we saw a small sea turtle. I highly recommend this tour!

Great time! - Tons of fun! We went to two different spots that were both beautiful. Saw tons of pretty fish, and even a couple rays and an eel. The guides were very friendly and provided water and snacks!
