Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The Dive Inn was such an incredible experience. Sail Rock was one of the coolest dives I’ve ever done. Vinny was such a great guide and also went above and beyond by showing us around the island. He is also a GREAT musician. Thank you all so so much for making a memorable experience ❤️

We had a lovely experience with this company. We hired a private boat for 2 dives at Sail Rock for 12 of us and they gave us a discount for a large group. They provided breakfast and lunch. The instructors were very friendly and fun. Would highly recommend :)

Absolutely brilliant trip with the Dive Inn crew. They are great at teaching you without you feeling like you are "being taught"...very friendly and professional at the same time. Excellent food and drink provided on the boat and great dive sites. Special thanks to Alex and Vinny.

Loved learning to scuba with The Dive Inn. Fern, Alex, Wendy and the team take really good care of you from start to finish! You feel safe and like they want you to REALLY relax and enjoy the experience. Big shout out to Alex who turned me from nervous novice to a mermaid! Sail Rock is an awesome site! We will be back!

We were a big group ranging from snorkelers, to Discover Scubas, through Open Water via Fun Divers to a Dive Master. We all had the most wonderful experiences over a week with exceptional instructors Raf and Wendy, and lovely support from James, David and Axel.

A great place to get your diving license! It was an absolute amazing experience from beginning to end. I am a person who has never been very comfortable with the ocean, but with help from Alex and the rest of the crew, I haven’t just gotten my diving license, but also feel a lot more comfortable in the ocean overall. Sincerely recommended.
