I just finished loading my new photos from a shark dive I did today with GeoFish! Sharks?! Yup! My fiance and I started our day late but wanted to get in a dive. So we headed to Playa in hopes of hopping on a dive trip.
I had a wonderful experience doing certification dives there but had a delay with actually receiving my card and posted a review before on TripAdvisor. Despite receiving my card late and having some communication issues, I was willing to use this company again because I had a great time on the trips. We came to find out that GeoFish actually changed ownership since then. Christa (Krista?) is now the new owner. She is from the States and it was easy to communicate with her. She was super friendly and forthright about everything. She also made it very clear that she runs a very honest business. She seemed very "on it" and had awesome suggestions for group tours and trips to Cozumel.
Our dive leader was Angy, who was a very sweet and safety-conscious (which is VERY comforting when you're on a shark dive, right?) She did a thorough briefing. The guys on the boat were helpful with our equipment.
Our dive trips were to include a shark site and a shallow dive. We didn't end up seeing sharks the first time we went down because it so happened that another dive company was feeding them. Angy gave us the option to choose whether we would like to go down again or go on to the shallow dive. We were super stoked to see sharks so we were fine with going down. I thought that was pretty cool. You can't expect companies to guarantee you to see turtles or sharks or whatnot on specific dives. I'm glad that we chose to go down because this time we saw 3 or 4 bull sharks that circled around us. It was so amazing to see these beautiful creatures. I felt like we could always see reefs but this was an awesome treat. Not only do you have to wait for the shark season, but as I wrote before, you aren't always guaranteed to see them. I heard that a group of divers from some other company from the morning were not able to see the sharks. I say, take the chance and go!
I was pretty tired out from just those dives, which surprised me since we were not too active during them. But boy was I happy that all we had to do was leave the equipment outside their place. Angy and other staff members took care of everything from there.
If you're looking for a good dive outfit for basic dive trips to shark dives, look into this place. I'm sure there will be great things in store for GeoFish under new ownership. Best wishes, Krista!
