Myself and 2 teenage kids are new to diving - only a handful of dives each - and did the Cano Island trip in Feb 2012. This trip is an early start, especially if you are based in MA as we were - on the road at 5:30 am! Found the shop pretty easily - it's a bit of a... More

We took a scuba dive and snorkel trip through CRDS as well as rented surf boards for a few days. Michael, the owner, was awesome and very helpful. He was very engaging and gave us some great tips on things to see and do. He gave us the local and secluded spots to check out that you wouldn't find online.... More

A friend and I took CRD&S's Cano Island trip today. We arrived early and the staff was already organizing equipment. Sebastian and Christian were the dive masters and quickly confirmed all sizes and needs for all participants in a group that had both divers and snorklers. They gave folks a chance to have breakfast which is at the adjacent cafe... More

We are so sorry to read that you did not feel you had a good experience, and especially that you felt that safety protocols were not followed. Actually, we have an excellent safety record, and always make individual safety our top priority. We are dealing with issues with our depth gauges at the moment, and are replacing them as fast...

Great dive shop with excellent friendly staff. My kids loved the trip to Cano Island... and enjoyed snorkelling with their own guide while the adults were scuba diving. They also have great information and rates for lots of tours in the area. We book our Rafiki rafting trip through them and it was also great. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! More

I completed my PADI with Sebastian here. He was excellent. Perfectly patient, competently clear and fabulously fun. My husband, who is a much more experienced diver, was also really impressed. Muchas gracias, Sebastian! More

We hired okeydokeytours (charlie soto soto fajardo) to take us around the area of Puntarenas where our ship docked. Charlie was extremely responsive to my e-mails and answered everything right away. George was our guide and we also had a driver. There were 6 of us. First thing we saw were the cappuchin monkeys, whom we could feed. Throughout the... More
