    Trying to hide in 35 feet of water after spotting us it went totally under the coral
    Peter g.

    The quick answer here- Dive this Beach, Dive with these Folks, Dive More, Dive Often, Dive Dive Dive! The story here - this couple managing this shop are courteous, knowledgeable, friendly, helpful, and living their dream - if you go to work each day saying I don't have a job I have fun and you love what you do; you will do it well and take much more pride and care in having a good safe time- these 2 are the epitome of that statement. They have a wonderful wall right off the beach, many things to see in even 40 feet but if you want you can go farther (apparently some island nut is planning to target over 1500 shortly, but that is no one @ this shop!). Shark, nurse and reef, Turtle, Eel, Rays, and many more reef fish are all within shore range here, while we did see a nurse shark they said it was rare, but what is also common are whale off shore in Feb and March so we missed those. Training options abound, night dives also, my GF is now certified like me and we can continue our underwater adventures anywhere but we will be coming back here even if we don't stay at this same resort. Its a must visit if you travel to the island of St Croix. Get Out There, don't just sit behind a computer and DIVE ALREADY! (ps they also offer pool and kids training courses)

    My husband and I did the Discover Scuba and I'm definitely more comfortable in water than he is, he thoroughly enjoyed it.

Kim especially made our son feel so comfortable and allowed us to know he was safe and in great hands so we could focus on our own experience. Everyone in the dive shop (Mitch, Marjorie and a few more whose names I didn't catch) was pleasant and helpful and answered all of our questions. Instructions were all clear, they were super patient with us when needed and so friendly and fun too. Next time, an underwater camera for sure but the 3 turtles I saw are definitely imprinted in my mind forever!

After speaking with the owners via email and on the phone, I was sold. Mitch and Andrea were super nice and accommodating. The dive instructor that I had, Jim, was awesome too. Everyone in the shop was knowledgeable and knew where the best dive sites were. I went on 9 dives in six days with these guys and they delivered awesome dive sites at a professional level every time. I was able to snag three Specialty Certifications while I was there, which was one of my main diving goals. If I go to St. Croix again, these guys will be my first call.

Trevor and Heather at Culebra Divers are very much the latter. I came to Culebra for a long-overdue dive trip. I've spent a week here diving with Culebra Divers as well as doing several continuing education classes (Rescue Diver, DAN's DEMP courses). From my first interaction with Heather when booking the trip several months ago, to the endless string of emails I sent them preparing for the trip, to every dive and every class while here... Trevor and Heather have been consummate professionals and have truly made this trip one that I'll remember for a lifetime. Every dive has left me excited and every course has left me more confident as a diver. Beyond the professionalism at the shop, I've been truly impressed with the level of safety and attention to detail that Trevor and Heather put into everything they do. Their focus on guest and diver safety is at the forefront of everything they do. They're also taking great care to make your dive experience safe in the age of COVID, with extra precautions from the time you enter the shop to the time you splash in the water... and they do so without affecting the quality of the experience. I can't say enough about how great it has been to dive and train with Culebra Divers! (The photos in this review were taken by Trevor @ Culebra Divers on our dives this week)

    I highly recommend these guys for diving on Vieques, especially if you or anyone in your group is…read morenew to scuba or kind of freaked out by it. They are competent, fun, and go to great lengths to make sure you're really comfortable with every aspect of diving. Even if you're kind of terrified by the idea of breathing underwater (what? It's scary!), you'll feel safe in their very capable hands. I went for PADI Open Water Diver certification with a group of 9 friends, all of whom had different levels of experience and comfort with diving. Arnaud, Tania, Shauna, and Carlito put us at ease right away with their easy-going yet professional attitude - all of us got plenty of personal attention, and they made sure we really learned and understood everything and didn't rush us through the exercises, even though we got a late start (our fault) on the first day. It's a lot of work over 3 pretty long days, but they kept it fun by joking around and telling us cool things about the island, and my husband (who had actually done open water certification before, but never mailed in his info to get the card) said they were much more thorough than the last outfit he did it with - important, when it comes to little things like being able to breathe! These guys, and particularly Tania, deserve some sort of medal for the way they handled me. I have tiny, crappy lungs and a healthy fear of the ocean, and after screwing up an exercise and gulping a bunch of water at 16' I declared myself DONE with scuba forever (even though Tania got a cleared regulator into my mouth so I could breathe almost instantly). When I didn't come back the next day, they pulled my husband aside and offered to work one-on-one with me to help me overcome my fear and get my SCUBA Diver Certification, which is kind of like Open Water Lite (you can dive up to 40 feet, with a guide). They could have easily just taken my money and walked, but they were genuinely invested in seeing me succeed. Tania worked one-on-one with me and was SO patient and kind: I had a freak-out almost as soon as I went under and she got me calmed down, had me practice surface skills, and then just swam around with me underwater and pointed out fish and turtles along the reef until I was comfortable enough to practice skills again. She has an incredibly nurturing, comforting vibe that comes across even underwater, and by the end of the day I was totally chilled out and excited about diving...a far cry from the hyperventilating mess who first entered the water! I honestly thought I would never dive again, but after working with Tania I actually ended up going back to finish up my Open Water Certification - with Isla Nena Scuba, of course!

    Ann and Taz were nice enough to accommodate us even though it was a fairly slow day (and Ann was…read morefeeling under the weather). We were given a lot of personal attention and the ride was amazing to say the least. The view above water and under water were breathtaking in their own ways. We saw a lot of coral on the reefs (that haven't yet died because of bleaching... but sadly it is more prevalent that we would've liked) and colorful fish and even reef sharks. The spots we were taken to were exclusive too. We were pretty much the only people there to enjoy the glassy water and a deep blue ocean with a coral ecosystem so beautiful that our camera cannot do it justice. Taz was a great captain and had lots of interesting stories to share. All in all, this was an amazing experience. I would recommend - just remember to allot a bit more time because, you know, island time.

    Worst. Diving. Experience. Ever…read more I found Taz to be impatient, insulting, and more interested in hunting down lionfish than making sure his clients enjoyed themselves or, more importantly, were safe. I went out for two dives with Taz. I'm still a very new diver, and I explained to him that one of my ears needed extra time to clear during the descent. Because of this, and a problematic mask, it took me several attempts before I was down on the sea floor the first time. He was clearly out of patience by the time this happened. Then, thanks to him underweighting me (even though I told him I had worn more weight during all my other dives), I found myself on a runaway ascent to the surface halfway through the dive. Scariest experience of my life!!! And it was very dangerous too--I could have caused serious damage to my lungs. Taz tried to blame it on me, but later grudgingly acknowledged I probably should have been weighed down more. He never apologized though. On a side note, lunch was nothing to write home about. Ham and cheese sandwiches and chips. The bread was stale. If you value your health and safety: Stay away. Far away.
