Always have a good time, use them at least one a year for years now. The day trip is great, snorkeling, music, margaritaville stop and fun.
The music was too loud, damaging to ears! Lewd dancing, unbecoming & non-professional of the staff at the RIU Reeggae in Jamaica (Montego Bay). My face mask leaked. It was a tourist trap at the Margaritaville area. Very disappointing 😩.
Charlton is a great manager there who cares about the customers makes sure everyone has a fantastic experience.
Dad completed his PADI here on our holiday!
Jeff and his wife are very knowledgeable, experienced, attentive, and Fun! They made our dives seamless and enjoyable. Despite pretty high seas they operated everything very safely. We had small groups of four per instructor.
Equipment in the shop is new. We had full 1 hour dives on the reefs. The sites were good, with many corals, fish, calamari. We were on pretty shallow dives, which allowed a lot of light. Granted, these were not the best sights we dove but that's a different issue.they train for open water at the resort. I would feel comfortable having my kids take classes with Scuba Caribe.
Nice dive centre, located right on the beach, so easy to fit diving in to the holiday. Staff are all very friendly and helpful.
One big let down is the time allowed for diving, 35-40 minutes is considered a full dive regardless of whether you have air available or plenty of no decompression time. Despite having raised this after my first dive, the dive centre still saw fit to send up their dsmb after only 32 minutes on my second dive. My computer was showing 76 minutes of no deco at this point and i still had over 110 bar in my cylinder.
I would have dived every day if the dives had been for 60 minutes, but @ $49 dollars per dive (i had all my own kit as well), it is not very good value and very frustrating when the boat is just parked up for most of the day inbetween dives, so no real reason for cutting the dives short.
They would do a lot more business if they take notice of this review, as no experenced diver wants there dives cut short.
On the plus side, Charlie the main diver Master is a really nice guy.
Definitely a good shop to start diving. Dive sites are not the best I've seen but otherwise would recommend.
Oops, wrong diver. I have not dived with scubacarib.
