We learned so much about sea turtle conservation, and actually seeing the baby sea turtles was absolutely incredible. The owner was our guide, and he told us about all the conservation efforts going on in the area and how they were involved in them. Truly a great company. We also took the bioluminescent tour and night. That was really beautiful and fascinating. We will never forget these two experiences. Thank you to our guide Kiko for the wonderful time!

Was really beautiful and scenic, we learned about the area and the history of the turtles and the culture within the Playa San Augustanillo community. We saw many dolphins, humpback whales and so many turtles on our tour. We were also able to swim in a beautiful very clear area of the ocean 1/2 mile to 1 mile off shore as well as going snorkeling in an area right off the beach. Seeing puffer fish and other amazing fish. The owner is a very bright hearted person who speaks English so you will be very satisfied with the communication and he is an honest businessman. This is a small fishing community so you will not find huge commercial tour companies, this is an excellent option for anyone looking for whale watching, dolphins and turtles. We even got to swim with the turtles and saw a little baby turtle up close in its natural habitat. Really excellent excursion!

We wanted an easy going dive center that could find us a calm location. The waters had been rough and the owner, Alex, was helpful in finding two good sites. We dove at Maguey Bay and La Entraga bay. Alex was especially wonderful with me as a new diver who was nervous once I got in the water. He led me around for the first while and stayed by my side while I got used to everything and settled in. He was very helpful giving pointers and advice to improve my diving. His son ran the boat above and was very efficient. Alex took the photos that I've attached here. These photos came with the price. We each paid under $90 which included everything: transport to and from our resort, equipment rentals, two tanks, pictures, fruit, and water. I would highly recommend this dive center to others. The owner and his son were great to have with us.

We came with a group of five adults for about a 2.5 hour tour, costing about $65 per person. When we arrived at the beach at Puerto Angelito, there were lots of boat tours, so it took us a moment to find Omar. Once we found him, we boarded the boat, along with two other tourists. Omar was the captain and he had a young assistant. He was very nice and spoke English to our group, and Spanish to the other two guests. He told us about how the dolphins form communities, avoid predators and can join new communities. I do think that if it had been a Spanish-speaking tour, he probably would have been even more informative. During the tour, they had bottled water in a cooler for us. The assistant climbed to the top of the boat to look for marine life. There was an awning for sun protection. We were invited to the front of the boat, two people at a time in order to view the marine life from a closer perspective. In the beginning, it was a long time before we saw anything, though Omar pointed out various species of birds. We then saw several turtles. Finally, we came across several schools of dolphins that were swimming alongside the boat. Many were jumping quite a bit, which was cool to see. In addition, we saw a few large and active fish. If you go on a tour, keep in mind that it is a small boat with no bathroom. Also, I have been prone to sea sickness, but had no problem at all, despite some pretty fast speeds and big waves. All in all, it was a fun experience. I know we cannot count on marine life to just show up nearby, but I do wish we had seen a bit more.

As a scuba diving neophyte, HDC provided a welcoming introduction to the underwater world…read more I have a friend who lives in Huatulco so she connected me with one of the co-owners, Anna, before we arrived in town for the week. Anna seemed welcoming and excited from the start and did a good job of outlining the options and pricing for my partner and I so that we could choose what was best for us. Given we were short on time (a week in Huatulco with lots of different plans besides diving) we opted for the Discovery course. Four hours total including an on-land instruction video and quiz, the boat ride to and from the dive site, the on-boat and the underwater lessons was the perfect amount of time. I finished feeling like I'd learned a lot but was not so drained from the morning so I felt ready to fill the afternoon with a second, more low key, activity. My partner and I had our instructor, another woman named Anna, to ourselves, which was great. The 2-1 ratio meant we both got lots of individual instruction. Anna was also very patient and encouraging with me as I was unexpectedly nervous once I got in the water with all my gear. She encouraged me to take it at my own pace while she went through some exercises with my partner and stayed close while they explored under water. I was able to join them after about 5-10 minutes and really enjoyed the rest of time exploring the coral and its colourful inhabitants. Its worth noting that there were a number of other divers of various skills levels on our boat going out with another guide from HDC and on their own, so I would say this is a great company to dive with no matter if you're a newbie or not. If you're looking to dive and you're in Huatulco, definitely check out HDC.

They were friendly and knowledgeable of surrounding areas. As a dive professional myself I make a point of diving everywhere I go just to see what there is to see. From nudibranchs to frog fish and zebra morays to giant morays reef octopus giant morays sea turtles (hawksbill and green) and oceanic manta rays (Manta birostris) the diving in Huatulco did not fail to impress. In short, it was wonderful! The boat was comfortable and new and even had a toilet aboard! My second day diving I was the only customer and Luca agreed to take me out into the blue -10 miles off shore- to a popular fishing spot where many Marlin and dorado had recently been caught. Unfortunately my gamble on the blue dive did not yield any Marlin but the visibility was spectacular and the experience unforgettable. If I'd had the time I'd gamble on a blue dive again. Diving in Huatulco can accommodate all levels of diver from professional to beginner to non diver (discover scuba diving or DSD). In my opinion it's well worth your time. I hope you enjoy!!
