As I have been fascinated from the oceans, the planet's last great living wilderness, for quite a while, I was eager to find out about this whole new world.
Carlos Solana made this dream come true. He and his team have proven to be very dilligent, friendly, knowledgabel and professional. I felt safe from the very beginning.

I did several dives with Dive Academy Ballena Blanca in August 2011, including my final Advanced Open Water certification dives, regular open water dives with my brother-in-law, and my son's first open water dive.
