    I came to Caribbean Pro Dive Centre after extensive researching online for my Open Water certification course (there’s not that many 5-star PADI centres around that provides good English guide and very good price for the course). On my first day I was blown away by the great organization, amazingly thorough instructor (thanks Juan!) and immediately signed up to the Advanced Open Water course! The more advanced you are as a diver the more likely you’ll enjoy the dive sites, as there’s not much at beginner level. But I got to see amazing sea life over 3 days, including ship wrecks, octopus, eels, plenty of fishes and corals. Plus the staffs are extremely fun and helpful, and free photos! Thank you Caribbean Pro Dive for the amazing experience, I’ll highly recommend if you have some time in Santa Marta.

    I did a PADI Open Water with Caribbean Pro and it was a good experience overall. I did 3x dives on the first day but unfortunately I felt really cold after the first dive which made it difficult to focus for learning the new skills and it was also less enjoyable. Many people were freezing so they should maybe advise for tighter/thicker wetsuits. Instructions on the first day were too briefly during the bumpy ride to the spot. For people doing their first scuba dive ever this might be a bit scary. It's would be better to receive the instructions when the boat is anchored. Second day was much better with a thicker wetsuit and very good instructions from Tomas when the boat was anchored. If you feel uncertain just don't go ahead in the water but actively demand for instructions again in the boat.

    Our family had a fantastic experience with Caribbean Pro! While in Colombia, we made a specific point of going to Santa Marta so my 16 year old daughter could get certified for her birthday and it ended up being an absolute highlight of our trip. Both my husband and daughter got certified. We were a little bit concerned about language and safety, but we had absolutely no reason to be. The guides at Caribbean Pro were extremely professional with good English. My daughter loved it! My other three kids snorkeled and I did a try dive. I loved it so much I planned to get certified in the future. Thank you Caribbean Pro!

    Started with a mini course, ended up doing a PADI Open Water License - all thanks to the amazing team! The equipment is very good, the instructions are clear, the instructors speak excellent English and are very good at explaining diving procedures. Special thanks to Javier, who has been patiently explaining and showing everything and helping me to get accustomed with diving. Totally recommendable! :-)

    My first dive! It was worth it and from my perspective it was cheaper than other centers. I felt safe all the time but we only had one guide for 5 new persons so I don’t think is enough tho. But all of us were responsible adults and we had a great time. I would totally recommend this center!

  • 5/5 Sarah 1 year ago on Google • 15 reviews
    We had a great time getting our open water certification! I had anxiety while working through the training but the instructors were really understanding and encouraging. They helped me push past my fear so I could have an amazing experience diving. Highly recommend Caribbean Pro! The fun dive is also very worth it once you’re certified. Also, Caro is the best :)

  • 5/5 Maedhbh G. 6 months ago on Google • 11 reviews
    Great place to start or continue your diving adventures. Very trustworthy owners with decades of experience both locally and internationally. Very accommodating and understanding of what you need. Departure marina is fabulous, great facilities and safe place to enjoy relaxing after a dive. The team is bilingual so easy to communicate with all present both on the boat and in the office. My 13 year old daughter got her open water cert with Caribbean Pro and the instructor was really kind and patient with her. Dive theory is easily achieved online so you can do the book work at home and enjoy the practical dives while enjoying your holidays! I would highly recommend this centre!

    What an awesome experience. I started doing a test dive because I never dived before. The whole team of Caribbean Pro is so professional and knowledgeable. I felt very safe from the beginning and for the whole time. After this amazing day they told me I could do my open water diver if I wanted. Because of the best instructor Javier I decided to take the chance. And it was the best decision… to have my first diving experiences with this cool team and at this beautiful places. Special thanks again to Javier. 😊

    Great dive school. The staff were all super knowledgeable and friendly. Made my first diving experience great.

  • 5/5 Francisco V. 2 years ago on Google
    I was able to get both my open water and advanced courses done with Cesar. He’s incredibly kind hearted, a fun instructor, and when another student began to stress/freak out he was able to safely surface, calm the situation and resume the dive. If I could give them 6 stars I would! The crew is well prepared for any situation that may arise. I highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Emma H. 2 years ago on Google
    Had the best time taking my PADI open water course with them! The staff were all very friendly and super knowledgeable about diving and took us to some incredible dive spots. Javi was my instructor and he rocked! 10/10 recommend :)

  • 5/5 Julia P. 2 years ago on Google
    Ive had the best experience in getting my advanced PADI here! ☺️ The process was super easy and Javier was the best, he taught me a lot while always smiling and being super patient as I was a little nervous first. Thanks to him, I’ve seen two big seahorses 😍 and a lot of other sea friends, it was really amazing. I’d come back in a heartbeat and would recommend this place and Javier to everyone 🤿

  • 5/5 J. G. 2 years ago on Google
    Everything was great from the first communication till the end of my certification course. The whole crew is great. I did the advanced open water with Victor. He was super friendly and very knowledgeable. Thank you guys for everything!

  • 5/5 geoffrey w. 2 years ago on Google
    This dive center is excellent! The owner made frequent contact with me to ensure I understood when and where everything was taking place. They were very welcoming, friendly and punctual. On my drift diving I couldn't keep up with the crowd and found myself overexerted and was about to surface, but my stellar Instructor Javier, came to my rescue, calmed me down and we continued the dive and I felt much better. My other instructor Manuela was very friendly and helped me find my right weight for buoyancy (finally!). She was very passionate about diving and her vision for diving is inspirational. This business is a well-oil machined and runs very smoothly. Definitely recommend them to anyone that comes to Santa Marta!

  • 5/5 Leona L. 1 year ago on Google
    I did my open water and advanced diving course with these guys. My instructor Jaime was awesome and the whole crew was super fun. After spending 4 days straight with them, it’s really clear that these guys love what they do and work well together. And Caroline at the office is awesome plus the owners are very hands on and super kind too. They’re fluent in English and always focused on safety. If you’re thinking of doing your certification, I recommend this company for sure!! This experience was the highlight of my vacation

  • 5/5 Nathan B. 1 year ago on Google
    I have just spent the last week with them diving and was very impressed with the different locations and the level of instructors that are on the trip. Really enjoyed there conpany and the diving. I would highly recommend it.

  • 5/5 Margot R. 1 year ago on Google
    Just finished my Open Water PADI course here and it was amazing!! Staff is very professional, but that did not come at the cost of it being fun. The course can be done in three days, but if you reserve in advance, you receive the theory of the course earlier such that you won't have to cram all the theory in 1 day. On the two dive days you do 5 dives in total in a small group (we were with 3) and we had 1 instructor. Our instructor Jaime was really fun and relaxed, but safety was clearly the number one priority of all instructors. His English was also good and easy to understand. Definitely recommend!!

  • 5/5 Henry W. 4 months ago on Google
    Caribbean Pro Dive was amazing, did 5 different very cool dives in two days to get my certification. Javier was a fantastic teacher and guy, he managed to teach in Spanish and English simultaneously and both parties learned everything you need! They were all very organized and easy to communicate with, I would highly recommend diving here.

    Did my first dive ever at Caribbean Pro! I found my new addiction! The guys that work here are wonderful...they are funny, pleasant and welcoming. They are very attentive and make you feel extremely comfortable underwater. It was an amazing experience! I highly recommend you dive with this crew if you find yourself in Santa Marta!

  • 5/5 Marilyn D. 4 years ago on Google
    Dive Master Andres Lara is bursting with personality, creating a delightful dive experience. He was punctual, attentive and professional. Captain Oscar, a superb captain, was punctual and attentive as well. The El Morro dive site was teaming with color and fish. Great dive, great value, great dive shop. Highly recommend Caribbean Pro Dive!

  • 5/5 Kevin W. 4 years ago on Google
    I don't usually write reviews but the Caribbean Pro Dive Center was one of the highlights of my trip to Colombia. They were very professional and safety focused. The student to instructor ratio is never above 3:1 and they are very flexible and will work with your schedule. I had an amazing time exploring the underwater world around Santa Marta and will highly recommend Caribbean Pro if you are considering diving.

  • 5/5 Mark L. 4 years ago on Google
    I love Caribbean pro crews! It was the best scuba dive shop in Santa marta. I've been to many different scuba dive shops to compare the service and I ended up going for open water license with Caribbean Pro. They are not only professional but also super friendly. Ten stars out of five stars.

  • 5/5 Nils K. 4 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Joaquín G. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) We loved the service. It was very easy to contact them directly from Google and the management was super easy. Unfortunately, my wife and I cannot stand the movements of the boat and we are decomposed (hehe) but that does not take away from the professionalism of the team and the good vibes of our instructor, whom we call Gato. (Original) Nos encantó el servicio. Fue muy sencillo contactar con ellos directamente desde Google y la gestión fue súper fácil. Por desgracia, mi mujer y yo no aguantamos los movimientos de la lancha y quedamos descompuestos (jeje) pero eso no quita el profesionalismo del equipo y la buena onda de nuestro instructor, a quien llamamos Gato.

    Fantastic dive centre!!! If you want to complete any new diving courses or just go on some fun dives then this is the place, with great prices. The staff are amazing and really go above and beyond to give you the best experience! No big ego’s, no stress, calm, Fun, Happy and great English. The reefs are really nice to. I think i actually had more fun here than Galapagos, because of the excellent atmosphere. If your in the Caribbean come to Santa Marta and see the national park above and below the water. 😀

    Had such a fantastic time doing my Open Water with CP that I came back to do my Advanced. Couldn’t recommend enough: best value dive school in Santa Marta. The instructors are all fluent in English and really friendly. For the Advanced I received 1to1 tuition, and for the OW there was one other student. A great balance of learning and freedom to enjoy the dive.
