Diego pulled in a freelance Dive instructor, Carlos, is their go to go. Carlos was very personable, and speaks English incredibly well.

We chose Quimera for our diving day in Santa Marta and it was great. We left right from the Marina of Santa Marta which was very convenient to us. We received a very good and personalized service from Diego and July, the owners of Quimera and expert diving instructors. The equipment was in perfect condition and they own their own... More
