My girlfriend, friend, and I travelled to Punta Cana and decided to do our Open Water course. Before going, I emailed several shops and got the best vibe, and most timely responses from Chris at Pelicano. We did the elearning before, so we wouldn't have to spend anytime in the classroom once we got there. We prepaid and saved 10%... More

Having never been diving, I did the Discover Scuba Diving. The staff are all very helpful and informative. My instructor Petra was awesome. I definately will return planning on taking the next step and get licensed. I highly recommend this for anyone wanting to experience diving. You won't regret it. More

Chris & Peter were the consummate professionals. They are a husband-wife team who own this dive shop. They are originally from Germany but have been in the Dominican for 20 years and in Punta Cana for 12 so they are very familiar with the area and dive locations in the area. They were highly knowledgeable and well organized. Their equipment... More

Peter and Chris were very pleasant to be with. We completed our OWD with them, and they are 100% professionals. Their entire staff was courteous and helpful. I wouldn't dive with anyone while in Punta Cana. More

When I arrived in Punta Cana I had a cold and couldn't dive. Chris was extremely understanding and arranged for the dive training when I was better. I took the OWD with elearning so I had the classroom portion completed before I got there and highly recommend it. When I was able to dive, Emily provided me with an excellent... More

Visited Punta Cana from January 9 -16, 2012 specifically with the desire to go on some scuba diving excursions. Pelicano water sports was the only outfit that has PADI certification that I could see in the area. We stayed at the Ocean Blue & Sands resort so it was an easy walk from our room to Pelicano whenever I went... More

Great way to spend a half day! Wonderful guides assisted my 70 yr old parents every step of the way. And I got a great one on one snorkel guide since it was too rough for the others in our group that day. They supplied snorkel gear to those that didn't bring their own. After snorkeling they served unlimited beer... More

We stayed at the Iberostar Grand Bavaro Punta Cana and although they have a dive shop on site, after reading a review on tripadvisor, we decided to seek out Pelicanos Water sport and we are glad we did. It is a very short walk along the beach to the right of the Grand Bavaro to the Pelicanos dive shop which... More

Was picked up at the Hard Rock three days from either Chris or Jerry, thank you so much, great seeing and hearing about the island from different perspectives. Can't wait to go back... More

Our first dive was right off shore, and very rough, poor conditions. The next day we took a bus to the carribean side, and did a did a dive off Catalina Island, with a sister dive shop called Scuba Fun, and it was fantastic. I would recommend diving the Carribean side only. More
