Scuba Dogs Went Above and Beyond - We booked a Disney Cruise and were so excited about our stop in Puerto Rico, especially because we wanted to scuba dive there. Unfortunately, all the diving excursions through Disney were fully booked. That’s when we connected with Manolo from Scuba Dogs, and he completely exceeded our expectations. Manolo went out of his way to work with Disney and managed to open up spots for us so we could dive during our port day. Sadly, Disney ended up canceling the dive the day before we docked. I reached back out to Manolo, and within no time, he had a plan in place and arranged for someone to pick us up at the port so we could still enjoy our dive independently. Our dive instructor, Paco, was incredible. He was knowledgeable, professional, personable, and incredibly accommodating. I truly can’t say enough great things about them both. Manolo and Paco turned an unfortunate situation into an unforgettable adventure. Just the experience with them alone has us planning a return trip to Puerto Rico, and we’ll definitely be diving again with Scuba Dogs. If you’re even thinking about scuba diving in Puerto Rico, take my word for it: book with them.

Highly Recommend - I had the best experience with Scuba Dogs! I was already a certified diver, but I learned so much. Manolo is a patient and knowledgeable instructor and made me feel comfortable and confident in the water. Davis was also very kind and friendly and greeted us when we arrived at the shop. I definitely recommend Scuba Dogs if you’re looking for a dive experience in San Juan!

Awesome dive with Manolo! - The dive with Manolo was amazing! We did the Reactivate course and he was so thorough and patient in checking all of our skills. We saw a huge barracuda, a sea turtle, a cleaner shrimp, and TONS of beautiful fish! Davis at the front desk was also super kind and helpful. Definitely would dive with ScubaDogs again, and would recommend to others :)

Amayzing - Our trip was marvelous! We saw a lot of fish, a lot of coral, a lot of very interesting things, squids, turtles, angel fish and much more! Our Dive Master Supreme Manolo, was Awesome and amazing! He was very safety conscious, professional, knowledgeable, nice, kind, amazing, and awesome. It was a spectacular dive and we had a marvelous time. Manolo, Davis, Brianna .... really all of the team was amazing! We came on a cruise so I was worried but we had more than enough time to walk here, get in a Dive, chill and relax on the beach and get back to ship on time! An excellent option while you're here in Puerto Rico!

A relaxing and complete scuba experience - Shout out to the staff, especially the guide Paco for being friendly and accommodating to me being late. I signed up for a scuba dive, by myself. Everyone was warm and helped me feel safe for the dive and had me in their best interests. I went out during low tide and it was explained to me how this would give better visibility, we had about 15 ft for starting after 2 pm. I saw a bunch of the interesting landmarks scattered around the cove area. I felt relaxed with it being relatively shallow and with the guide, and the water was warm and nice! I did wish some of the life (or coral? could be more alive and vibrant) but in the end saw a squid and some long fish I haven't seen before. We also saw a few packs of colorful fish! The gear rental, setup, and putting stuff away went smoothly and they made it easy, even tested me on how to set up the gear (which I welcomed so I can get better at it).

Scuba with teens - Great instructions. Took the time to give the kids a refresher course. Paco used real life analogies to help the kids recall buoyancy and breathing techniques.

Great diving experience with Manolo (Scuba Dogs). Shallow dive, in a golf, lots of marine life - We had a great tour of the Escambron marine park with Scuba Dogs! Small group, 3 experienced divers. Manolo was very knowledgeable and passionate about local marine life, he showed us most of the fish we were going to see, talked about their habits and life, and went trough the diving equipment and signs quite thoroughly. Shallow dive, pretty strong current, the water was not very clear due to the wind and tide, which made the dive a bit challenging. Manolo took the time to show us around, many fish and turtles, some small caves and underwater features, he showed us how to cope with the current and tight spaces. I found the marin life to be more human friendly, you could get pretty close to them and even engage with them. Which made it a unique experience. 77min and still had a lot of air. The golf is conveniently located in San Juan, would definitely recommend to visitors who don't have a car to get to other parts of the island.

The school worked around our schedule - It was a wonderful experience learning open water diving with Scuba Dogs. The school worked with us around my son’s schedule during the holidays. The instructor was sweet and professional, and my son saw many fish while he was 30 feet under water! Thank you so much for making his diving dream come true!
