I had a wonderful dive with Leo. Lots of marine life but unfortunately no large marine animals. Highlight was the seahorse and nudibranch. Ken and his wife were great hosts and very accommodating. Would definitely be back. Highly recommend. Barry

Barry - thank you fo the great review. Leo will be thrilled to see your feedback and glad you had a good dive with him. We do have some amazing macro life so we are glad you enjoyed the seahorse and nudibranch. We look forward to diving with you soon.

From initial contact with Ken they were very accommodating, setup a dive class for my daughter and advanced dives for me. I had a few great dives. I dove with all the dive masters and all were great. I would definitely recommend Huatulco Dive center.

Hi, this is a long over due review. Our son received his diving certification with HDC two years ago when he was 12. I must say everyone that works there is very professional, knowledgeable and super friendly. I was a little nervous dropping him off the first time to go diving on his own with people that I didn't know, but they treat him with the upmost respect and I feel 100% comfortable when he goes off diving with them and know that he is safe. I would highly recommend HDC to anyone who is looking to get certified or going out for a superb dive with wonderful people. Michelle
By Michelle A for 3 Day Six Dive Adventure for Certified Divers on Jan 07, 2025
Michelle, it may be two years, but the review was definitely worth the wait. Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. Zane is amazing and it has been great to see his diving develop over the years as well as his height! We are glad you are 100% comfortable when he dives with us, he certainly is in safe hands and I know the team all think highly of him. We look forward to diving with him again in Spring Break. See you soon!
