    I'm bouncing around Puerto Rico and stayed at La Jamaca in La Parguera. I wanted to scuba dive, but read reviews that the reef is a little further from here than Guanica. I found Island Scuba and was glad I went with them. It's a 30 min drive from La Parquera but if can drive it, do it. The drive is a little crazy through some back roads but it gave you a good sense of the people and community. When we got there, they were very welcoming and had a great shop with clothing, and some extra gear you might need if something broke or you forgot. Our boat ride out was about 10 to 15 minutes. We were with a group of eight, but they split us into boats of four people each. We went to the same dive locations and met when we descended for the dive. I went from having the worst dive ever in Rincon To one of the top five best dives I've ever done with Island scuba.. The reef and wall were so alive with sea life, sponges, and coral. We saw a reef sharks, nurse, sharks, large cribs, large lobsters, southern stingrays, and just an amazing assortment of fish. Just an amazing dive and I was happy I chose them. If you're going to dive around this part of PR, do it right, seriously, Island Scuba made me want to come back.

    Reef sharks

    Had a great dive on the wall off of La Parguera. Especially good for seeing reef sharks. The waves can be a little rough (2-5' seas on average) on the 20 min ride getting out there, but they have a nice comfortable boat and they do a good job of getting there quickly and getting you in the water, so there is a minimum amount of time sitting on the boat bouncing around.

    Nurse Shark

    Island Scuba is a great dive shop! Helpful and energizing staff that know a lot about diving around PR. They helped size the rental equipment (which was all high-quality). Our first dive was to 80ft, and the second was mostly around 40 ft. The reefs were beautiful and full of sea life! We saw sharks, barracuda, eels, shrimp, king crab, jellyfish, and wide range of fish. Overall a great experience, and we will definitely be back!

    Great Dives, thanks Pedro

    Loved diving with Pedro and Nadya. I would recommend that they carry some water or sodas to refresh between and after dives

    Great dive location, Pedro and his wife are great hosts. Small groups are perfect. We saw many sharks and barracudas.

    If you're looking for a nice relaxing day on a private island then this may be the trip for you!…read moreThis is a group tour that travels with more than just those you booked with. As long as 15 people are on the tour, they will take you to your Calebra. If less than 15 you stay local! There were well over 15 so we were able to tour Calebra. It was so beautiful! Once you get there, they pick you up on a ferry to take you to the boat . The boat travels for about an hour before getting to a private island and that is where you get the guided snorkeling or diving tour depending on what you selected! My friends and I did the snorkeling. As someone who can't swim (I know I know lol) I had a great time. The tour guides were very informative and helpful for all ages and swim levels. They do provide fruit, cold cut sandwiches and rum punch and when you stop . If you're looking for a "party" boat then this may not be for you. Don't expect lots of liquor and twerking etc it's a family type tour, Some of my friends were a bit disappointed by the price expecting that we'd stop somewhere that had a bar and restaurant but it was just a private island (we're in our high 20s low 30s). So idk I think it depends on your expectations but I was okay with everything and the service was great!

    Never In my life did I think I would give a 1 Star but would not recommend this company. We…read morecontacted them weeks prior to our trip to inquire about getting scuba certified. We were told we had to first buy and complete the course work through PADI and from There they would do the water/ dive sessions and compete the certification. The shop also gets a kick back from Padi as work since it makes u select a dive shop where ur course work is sent to. Once we complete the course work, we each reached out to the dive shop about 2 - 1 1/2 weeks in advance to schedule the dates and times for the water sessions. We did not receive any type of response back from the shop. We attempted to message on whatsup as requested but still did not receive a confirmation or any type of communication. We called down to the shop, where we were told to just text them. We again tried to text the shop but did not receive any response. We flew to San Juan and arrived and immediately went to the shop, we were told to text them and they would get back to us.. we asked directly if they had availability and we were told they would check and get back to us via text.... A day goes by, we attempt to call and no response.. fully we get a text saying they are fully committed...... This was without doubt the worst type of un-reliable customer service and a refusal to communicate.. I would not trust this dive shop or operation. They should never have told us to use to do the course work with their shop and then refuse to complete our certification. Luckily Scuba Dogs next door came to our rescue when we told them about the horrible customer service we received. Just be aware this shop will not be reliable.
