A friend and I took CRD&S's Cano Island trip today. We arrived early and the staff was already organizing equipment. Sebastian and Christian were the dive masters and quickly confirmed all sizes and needs for all participants in a group that had both divers and snorklers. They gave folks a chance to have breakfast which is at the adjacent cafe... More

Actually, we have an excellent safety record, and always make individual safety our top priority. We are dealing with issues with our depth gauges at the moment, and are replacing them as fast...

Great dive shop with excellent friendly staff. My kids loved the trip to Cano Island... and enjoyed snorkelling with their own guide while the adults were scuba diving. They also have great information and rates for lots of tours in the area. We book our Rafiki rafting trip through them and it was also great. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! More

George was our guide and we also had a driver. There were 6 of us. First thing we saw were the cappuchin monkeys, whom we could feed. Throughout the... More
