This was our third time diving with Octopus over the past 18 months and it just keeps getting better and better! Bob got his Rescue Diver certification with Steve as his instructor and I completed my Advanced Open Water training with Stuart.

I always find that the difference will be obvious in the pre-trip correspondence when booking companies for tours, and Octopus was no exception. Sally responded quickly and to... More

I've been diving with Octopus 4 or more times in the last couple of years and I think it's about time that I write a review. It seems like every time I go back they get better.

I really enjoyed diving with them. The small group was my favorite part! They are very helpful no matter how experienced you are with diving. I really appreciated their enthusiasm and knowledge. More

Diving was wonderful! The staff was very friendly, the sites we visited were great, the gear was brand new. Even though the weather was not great on the surface, underwater it was perfect! More

We spent the week with Octopus Diving. This was my 5th year in a row diving with them. They were over-the-top profesional, fun and they took care of us like crazy. We saw tons of fish, including dolphins, eagle rays, lion fish, angel fish, lobsters, eels, turtles, and more. Thumbs up again this year. More
