Cartagena Divers are awesome. First, they are very professional. They explain everything thoroughly, make sure you understand, then demonstrate before you try yourself. Second, the hours are 7am-12pm for dives, so you only use up a morning in Cartagena, not your whole day. Third, the price was less than competition in the area, and much less than in the United States for getting a certification. I got an open water certification and had a great time. My trainers could speak both English and Spanish. Daniel was great, and Juana ("Moana") was even more awesome. She made me feel safe and I had a blast. She is an excellent Scuba Instructor, and I can't recommend her, or Cartagena Divers enough. If you will be in Cartagena, why not get certified or going diving on 1 or 2 mornings on your trip? You will love the experience and thank me afterward! 100% recommendation! Los buceadores de Cartagena son increíbles. Primero, son muy profesionales. Explican todo a fondo, se aseguran de que entiendes y luego lo demuestran antes de intentarlo tú mismo. En segundo lugar, las horas son de 7 a.m. a 12 p.m. para las inmersiones, por lo que solo usa una mañana en Cartagena, no todo el día. Tercero, el precio fue menor que la competencia en el área, y mucho menor que en los Estados Unidos por obtener una certificación. Obtuve una certificación de aguas abiertas y la pasé muy bien. Mis entrenadores podían hablar inglés y español. Daniel fue genial, y Juana ("Moana") fue aún más increíble. Ella me hizo sentir segura y me lo pasé genial. Ella es una excelente instructora de buceo, y no puedo recomendarla, ni a Cartagena Divers lo suficiente. Si vas a estar en Cartagena, ¿por qué no certificarte o bucear en 1 o 2 mañanas en tu viaje? ¡Te encantará la experiencia y me lo agradecerás después! 100% de recomendación!

How could I forget to review. April 2018.This was such a great experience. Awesome owners and staff. The price was right.. The boat was stable. They helped my not so ready buddy get trained. John the dive instructor was phenomenal. Went to other dive shops and looked around. This just had the best vibe in general and seemed to love what they do. Not a single issue or complaint. Can not wait for the opportunity to dive with them again.

I had an awesome experience with Cartagena divers and it is the diving school I would recommend. I started the open water course and had a great experience on the dives and with the instructors. The Cartagena divers Team is professional, helpful and I felt secure doing the dives. You also won't have a problem if you don't speak Spanish. I decided to do the advanced open water, the first aid and secondary care course and the rescue diver course. So I spend two and a half weeks in Cartagena and every day and every dive with Cartagena divers was just a wonderful experience that I can warmly recommend. Thanks Juana for that great time.🙋🏼‍♂️

We had a great experience with Cartagena Divers, from start to finish. All the staff at the office where we made the booking were really friendly and helpful, Isabel helped us to fill out our forms and was there on the morning of the dive to give us a warm welcome. We did a morning dive (mini course) which involved 2 40 minutes dives with our instructor John. John was really clear with all of our instructions and helped us feel confident on our dive. He took us to a great shipwreck and captured lots of great photos of us exploring the wreck, he also regularly checked in on us to ensure we were ok / air levels etc. All in all it was a very rewarding experience which left us desperate to do more diving! Thanks Cartagena Divers :)

(Translated by Google) It is highly recommended to dive in Cartagena and more with a team as professional as Cartagena Divers. The dives they schedule are amazing, well organized, good equipment and good photos! They are two dives and the price is quite affordable Go diving! (Original) MUY recomendable bucear en Cartagena y mas con un equipo tan profesional como Cartagena Divers. Las inmersiones que programan son una pasada, bien organizado, buen equipo y buenas fotos! Son dos inmersiones y el precio es bastante asequible Animense a bucear!

The experience was absolutely fantastic! A special thanks to our Divemaster Danny Lotero, he made my wife and I feel safe and comfortable. Their equipment was in excellent condition, the boat was large and comfortable and the dive groups were very small. We saw some incredible sights and I experienced my first ship wreck dive. Thanks Danny, I'll be back my friend :-)

Unfortunately I did not have a good experience here and after debating about it quite a bit I've decided to write a review. More experienced divers may not have this problem and it seems like other first-time divers rated this company highly, but personally as an inexperienced diver I did not feel safe. I did the PADI Open Water course and though I liked my instructor, I didn't like the way the school or my instructor operated. I expected to start in a pool or shallow water and was surprised to immediately be put on a boat and taken out to open water. The instruction I received before we started diving felt quick and inadequate to me. There were many moments that my online PADI training helped me keep myself safe, but had I not remembered that training I believe I would have been in danger as I don't think that important safety lessons were emphasized. There was one moment where remembering my online training prevented me from inhaling water 30-40 feet below the surface, which has been haunting me ever since. I also felt like my concerns were dismissed when I pointed out that we were swimming super close to the coral. I really wish the best for everyone who works here, but I also want safety-concerned inexperienced divers to be aware that there are probably better options. And if the school is not pleased by this review, I hope that motivates them to review their training and policies.

They are all so kind, friendly and welcoming! Look no further if you are interested in Scuba diving or any other of the awesome services they offer! Thanks again Donny and the rest of the crew!

They are both fully equipped and locally owned. Their crew was friendly and very knowledgeable. Special tks to Edwin!. Isabel showed me a lot and she knew how to elevate my experience in the water through all 4 immersions. I did buoyancy and Nitrox specialties. Everything was planned and taken care in a fashion timely matter (Tks to Alberto). I fully recommend them either if you are a beginner or an advance diver. The diving sites include sunken Army boats and pristine coral reefs around BARU island just a few minutes away from Cartagena.

We did our first fun dive here and loved it! Great staff, good equipment, boat was very nice and spacious, only 4 people for 2 divemasters. Also great price (compared to others in Cartagena) best of all was that they took pictures of us the whole time and sent it to us for free.

Great dives with Daniel today! I just got my PADI last week and he made me feel very comfortable from the get go with care and a great energy. The dive sites were amazing with great visibility. The boat was punctual and equipment good.

Very nice experience! This was our first fundive since we obtained our Open Water in Taganga and it was really good. The instructor Daniel was very professional and helped us out. The dive was very comfortable, i would def recommend!

Wonderful dive operation! Great experience! My 14-year-old son and I took the Peak Buoyancy Specialty course, and our son also took the Enriched Air course with John. John, as well as the entire crew, was very knowledgeable, attentive, and patient. We really appreciate the great dive experience they provided and highly recommend them.

Amazing scuba diving with Malcon in Providencia!! We really enjoyed the island we spent with him! Very appealing!

We had a great experience with Cartagena Divers. We did 2 days (4 dives), all in different sites. The owners and crew are extremely professional, friendly and knowledgeable. They all went out of their way to make sure we were happy with the dive sites, gear and payment process. When we asked about photos, (we don’t have any from previous dives) they were quick to set that up for us, we tipped Ana for the photos because she did an amazing job, and she was using her own gopro camera and flash light. Alberto, also took photos with his own camera after he found out we didn’t have any photos from our previous dives, he was super helpful and provided valuable advice about which masks to purchase. He even offered to treat and prep our newly purchased masks before our first dive. They have a good selection of masks! Shout out to Daniel and Ana, our dive guides, both super friendly and knowledgeable. We felt very safe during the dives and the crew was super fun.

Highly recommended. We were late docking on cruise ship but they waited an hour for us! Great team of staff , great snorkelling too.

This dive company is great! We went on a 2 tank dive. The first was an artificial reef, the second was a reef forest. During both dives, the crew were very aware of overtones needs. They took great care of everyone on the boat. This includes recapping the basic communication signs, discussing the plan, checking our gear, changing our tanks, making sure everyone was comfortable and giving extra care to those who need it. Camilo was our guide and he was fantastic! Everything was organized and clear!

Everyone was very nice and made me feel welcome. It's a very professional school and I felt in safe hands all the time. I did the PADI having not scuba dived before but I loved my experience and learnt a lot, Juana was a great instructor and always made me feel very comfortable! I will definitely be coming back if in Cartagena again

Had an amazing morning with these guys, two dives. First one to shipwrecks and and underwater museum and the second one to a beautiful coral reef. Both around baru island. I can really recommend, to go diving with them! Thank you!

Had a wonderful experience with these guys. The most professional Scuba company I've had the pleasure to go diving with. The equipment was brand new and very good quality. They are super friendly and knowledgeable. Everything was delivered as promised. I will make of them my diving partners every time I come back to Cartagena.

I was traveling alone and came to Cartagena Divers to see if I could get out on a boat with them the next day. I had to wait a few hours to confirm that they were going out the next day, but they let me know by text message that it would be happening. They were friendly and helpful from the initial interaction in the shop to my leaving them after the dives the following day. I was just out for a couple of fun dives, not any training. They basically took care of everything for me, so all I had to do was have fun on my dive. Great crew, great day. Thanks! My only minor complaint is that the shop and where they depart for dives are far away from each other. This is not a significant issue, but something that comes to mind.

Amazing team! Best dive Cartagena's Dive Center

Without doubts the best one in Cartagena! Been diving with them few times now and I won't change anymore! Thanks guys😉

(Translated by Google) 💯 recommended. For those who start, practices in the pool, all teachers have an excellent command of the second language. They have a lot of charisma, I recommend it one and a thousand more! (Original) 💯 recomendados. Para los que inician, practices en piscina, todos los docentes manejan excelente el segundo idioma.

Made the open water diver there. Very professional and friendly for a reasonable price. Thanks to Juana for the good experience. Recommended without hesitation.

Excellent organization, friendly and competent people!

Very professional guides. Equipment in perfect condition. Surprise such a responsible service, without losing the friendliness.

Nice people, nice dives. Prices are expensive comparing to other places in Colombia

What a professional group of honest, knowledgeable, and awesome people! From the very first moment, Donny was so welcoming, and it was clearly evident that he is very knowledgeable and his level of expertise with scuba diving is very impressive. He is also kind, patient, compassionate and charismatic. As a mom, I tend to worry about my kids and their safety so I had many questions - Donny answered everything and helped to put me at ease. Knowing that my kids were under Donny’s guidance and instruction was such a blessing - it provided much comfort! I just can’t say enough good things—Donny and the crew were very attentive and even went out of their way in helping me through sea sickness. I truely believe that Donny and the crew helped to create a most memorable experience for us all and awakened within the kids a joy for scuba diving! After their first dive...they were hooked!! Don’t bother looking further — this is the place for scuba diving! I would put my trust repeatly with Donny and the crew not only for scuba diving but for all their services!

(Translated by Google) My friend Laurence and I made 4 dives over two mornings. Level 1 (-20 meters) Do not speak Spanish and very little English. We really enjoyed this diving club. Very nice home. Very good material. Boat comfortable and well piloted. 4 dives ... 4 different places. Corals. Lobster. Anemone.wreck. murenne. .... and +++++++ Small snacks and sandwich on the boat. Impeccable organization. (some French clubs should take example) Very well framed ... we feel safe .... And we had an instructor who spoke French very well. Quality / price ... great. If I have to go back to Cartagene for diving .... it will be here .... Thanks to the whole team. Franck. (Original) Mon amie Laurence et moi avons effectué 4 plongées sur deux matinées .

My son took his certification for open water scuba at this school; we looked at few different options here and back in Texas; and after doing some research we decided that this would be the best place. We were not wronged; excellent facilities but most importantly excellent people from the owners to Camilo the instructor they made us feel like part of the family. Highly recommend this place to anyone.

Did my Padi Open Water diver with them. I had a great experience and can only recommend diving with them. The trips were family like however they still kept their level of professionality. Water juices and snacks were also always disponible.

Great experience, I enjoyed the trip the whole time 👍

Would definitely recommend Cartagena Divers! Unfortunately, the day I was to go diving, the weather was terrible and the visibility was too low to do a safe dive. The staff were incredibly apologetic and insisted on a full refund. I tried to reason that they can’t control the weather but they still insisted on a refund. The staff was very friendly and professional the entire time. Although my short trip didn’t end up allowing for a dive, I would definitely use this company next time I visit!

(Translated by Google) 100% recommended. Excellent staff, complete equipment and in perfect condition. Excellent preparation that makes you feel confident and confident that you will do an expert practice. I did the advanced course and it was one of the best diving experiences I have ever had. (Original) 100% recomendado. Excelente staff, equipos completos y en perfecto estado. Excelente preparación que te hacen sentir confianza y seguridad de que harás una práctica con expertos. Hice el curso avanzado y fue de las mejores experiencias de buceo que he tenido.

Very professional and attentive staff. We were two inexperienced divers and one snorkeling client. The diving sites were marvelous and the water very warm (mid august). We would definitely come back and recommend it to others. We could write more but we won't spoil the surprise. Have fun!

Excellent experience. Great instructors. Just awesome. Highly recommendable.

good atmosphere

Out of all my 20 dive experiences, this one was the best. These guys had their act together and had the best equipment and crew. All rental equipment was in great shape and worked properly. The bottles were even charged up to 3200psi. The boat, hachi I, was a smooth ride in the rough water and also in great shape As soon as i was about to get on the boat, they collected the shoes in a bin and kept the entire boat roomy and clean despite there being 12+ people on it. We were 4 to a dive master and he went above and beyond what a normal dive was and took us through an amazing experience!
