    Great crew, great diving spots and great gear. All in all definitely worth diving and making PADI certification.

    First and foremost the Scuba Caribe team was amazing! We bought the scuba dive pack of 10 dives online and were able to save 10%. Once we got to the resort we walked to the dive shop and checked in. We were put on the next days schedule for a two dive trip. They told us to be there at 8:30 but I think if you are there around 9:00 you will still be early. We met up with Berlin who was an amazing guide. My son is 12 and Berlin quickly took my son under his wing and took very good care of him. Over the next several days we did the remaining dives and had a blast. We dove in a new spot with each dive and were able to see tons of sea live. We also did a catamaran cruise to isle of Catalina with David and Fernando. This was a snorkel trip with a few hours of hanging out on the island beach with a buffet style dinner. The cruise ended with a tour of a river where Anaconda and a few other movies were filmed. While the sites were amazing, David and Fernando made the trip spectacular. I cannot say enough about everyone at Scuba Caribe. Everyone was awesome!

    We wanted to go on a bay fishing trip so we booked it in the La Romana in Dominican Republic. To make a LONG story short we ( 6 members of my family) trusted this company to take us fishing and get back on time. Well we got out on the Bay / Ocean and the boat RAN OUT OF GAS!!!!. We were stuck out there and finally they flagged another boat down and they towed us in but not to our resort but to a place they could anchor and swim to the shore to get gas in their containers and swim back. We finally made it back to shore and I went straight to the company that sold us the trip which is in Hilton the resort but they were no help. I contacted scubacaribe and they said we were not put out so they would not refund any portion of our money. I am so frustrated that our fishing trip ( that we paid $900 for) was so miserable and that neither Hilton/ Best Trip nor this company seems to care about their customers. Beware of this company

    First time diving for me. I was well looked after. I felt safe and secure at all times and managed to get my OWD license. Fantastic staff and crew. Great equipment. Thanks so much, guys! Especially Pavel and Berlin! See you guys next time!

    What a wonderful experience it was snorkeling with the crew that we had the two men were very helpful and kind!!! Felt so safe with them and they were always willing to lend a helping hand. Daniel was the best!!!! From start to finish. He was so helpful and nice. He always made sure everyone in our group was good to go. He was very professional and had a great personality which made it an even better time!

    Absolute awesome experience! We booked a snorkeling tour and chose the VIP package. It was one of the best days and tours i have experienced so far. The crew was super friendly and the tour itself was a lot of fun!

    The dive instructor Berlin is the best instructor I have ever met. We took several dives and had beginners on the boat with us as well as advanced people. He had more patience and had the best attitude of any of the other guys that I met during our stay. So if you go to this dive shop ask for him. Berlin is the best.

    We snorkeled and fished through this company. They were very kind and attended to our needs and comfort. They liked to have fun but we’re very safe. I would have liked to have spent more time in the water, but we had a great time. We fished with one of their partners and caught several barracuda. Would definitely recommend using this company!

  • 5/5 Alexander P. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the best dive operations we have ever encountered -- well-managed, friendly and the diving is excellent, with a lot to see from sea horses to turtles. Schedule with both morning and afternoon dives is a bonus. Diving trips to Catalina are highly recommended.

    Rude workers.We came here while staying at the Hilton. Me, my wife, and 3 kids wanted to use the kayaks here which were advertised as free with a stay at the Hilton La Romana. The guy at the counter starting taking our information, and while doing so he tried to push some excursions on us. When he found out we had already gone on excursions with other companies and were leaving the next day his whole demeanor changed. When I asked him what time we needed to return the kayaks at, his response was "use your brain" and he glared at me. I'm still trying to figure out how to tell time with just my brain and no clocks around. Anyways, Hilton might wanna reconsider sending their guests over there, if they're going to have to deal with rude employees if they don't purchase their excursions.

    We snorkeled, dove and visited Catalina island in April 2019 with our kids and every trip was amazing. Special thanks to Fernando, Lucia, Diana, Berlin and Victor. We just got home from our second trip (11/19) and again spent quality time with the same wonderful team of Scuba Caribe La Romana. This trip we had warmer water, better snorkeling and another great time on Catalina! Thanks again to the same group mentioned above! This trip sported a new and bigger boat which was a terrific upgrade. Excluding my slide/fall across the top deck 🥴 everything was perfect. The team is fun, engaging, helpful and a joy to spend time with. The sights were great and not only were we able to see fab marine life but we also got to see a lot of cool birds, flying fish & a stingray who jumped out of the water. I could gush on and on about the trips and staff. Tour, snorkel, dive with these ladies and gentlemen. You will not be disappointed!!! Thanks to all of you. I will proudly wear my Scuba Caribe baseball hat back in the USA! Thanks for being a memorable part of both of our vacations!

    Wonderful staff, playful environment but serious about diving safety. This is my third time to the DR, La Romana and I am never disappointed. I decided to enroll in the advanced open water dive course as well. I could not get the e-learning done before I arrived so I studied and tested here. Friday I will participate in coral maintenance and I believe we as divers should support a company that also gives back to the ecosystem.. Viewed the coral nurseries and growing stations today..

    Staff was amazing. Kayaks and other equipment were limited and first come first serve. We did the sunset Cruise and had a blast. Great interaction and no language barriers at all. All in all well worth it.

    Nervous but want to try scuba diving? This place was amazing! I’ve never been as anxious as I was trying scuba diving. I started crying during the classroom portion. Freaked out in the pool (but passed all the skills) and couldn’t jump off the boat (stairs instead). My instructor (Noé) was patient, encouraging and reassuring all along the way. Enough so, that I will scuba again on my next trip! He pointed out many interesting creatures and took several pictures with an underwater camera and shared them with me without asking for compensation. I can’t recommend this place enough!!
