A serene adventure! - Wonderful! Casper, Jonathan, and Captain Oswaldo were guides for our family of five for a trip to the Hidden Beach, and to snorkel nearby. Our three kids are ages 15, 14, and 9. Nine-year old was reticent at first, as the tunnel that leads to Hidden Beach showed itself ;) Jonathan guided him through, with our son staying calm and having a great time. The trip was exciting and adventurous, and also calm and serene. We recommend it for all!

Best time diving! - Osvaldo and Osvaldo were fantastic with us the whole day - we are beginner divers and we felt VERY safe with “Casper.” He did a great job of reiterating all of the safety tips because we had a nervous diver in the group. He took great pictures of us, made sure we dove successfully and safely and we got to visit the island! The tuna sandwich was delicious and we really recommend this company.

Amazing Dives! - We had an amazing experience with Oswaldo and Casper! We booked a private tour and did two dives - one at El Morro and one at Marietas. Such beautiful scenery! Casper was very attentive, knowledgeable and patient. I highly recommend them, and we’d book again next time we visit! Thank you!

First-rate dive certification program - We had a great experience learning to dive with Oceano Adventure and I would highly recommend them to others. My 14 year old daughter earned her open water dive certification and I completed a refresher. The dive master, Oswaldo, was professional, patient, and gave very clear directions. If you’re in the area and want to learn to dive, I highly recommend working with Oswaldo. The entire experience was first rate and easy.

Unforgettable Experience - I don’t write reviews, but for the experience I just had, it is a must! We had a two dive trip - BUT - with a trip to the Hidden Beach as our surface interval. Due to rains, the visibility wasn’t great. However, Casper was able to get us extremely close to a Hawkbill Turtle, two Octopus, and two different types of eels. Then, he and Laura took us and two snorkelers to Hidden Beach. The waves were rough, almost filling the entire cave and yet, they were able to get us all safely across - including our 10 year old. The second dive was great, with Casper in the front and Laura in the back, we felt very safe with the visibility and were also able to work on buoyancy and current skills. The boat driver was also amazing (his name is hard to pronounce (same as Casper’s official name). We were in moderate to heavy swells for a boat that size and he was able to feather the engine, when needed, to safely and comfortably ride with and against them. This is an amazing shop with amazing staff. I will be diving with them every time I am in Sayulita!

Wonderful day of diving! - Caspar, Laura, and Osvaldo were a great team and so helpful. We were diving with my newly certified 10-year old and they were so patient and kind to her and she had a wonderful time. The visibility was great and we saw octopus, eels, and tons of puffer fish :)
