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.

I contacted Pats before arranging in Antigua to organise a refresher, myself and 2 kids hade completed our Open water cert in 2018 and not dived since. Pats was throughout with the briefing and gave us all plenty of chances to ask questions and give us the confidence we needed for the coming dives.
Between use we did 12 dives over three days, found Pats safety briefing excellent, including discussing what we would likley see. I am old and inexperienced and eat my air so always need to surface before the rest of the dive, Will the skipper (and an amazing free diver to boot) acted as safety.
By the final dive id managed to be more relaxed in the water with hints and tips form Pats and Will, surfacing at the same time as my 15/yo son!!.
The kit was all in good condition, never head any doubts about its condition or suitability. MYself and my kids all went through our pre-dive drills (Brue Willis Always Ruins Films) , never felt rushed or harried in anyway. As a novice diver i felt completely at ease and comfortable with the lead given by pats and the support given by WIll.
Overall id say Pats is a great dive leader and supported by Will made a great team. Helpful, communicative and a nice person to boot.
If i was in Antigua again would definitely dive with Pats again.

Patrice and Indigo Divers are everything you could hope for in a dive shop and instructor. I cannot recommend them enough! To start, Patrice (Pats) was so quick to respond to email and was so accommodating even though we booked just a week out. On the actual day of the dive - Pats went above and beyond like we never could have imagined. She is so knowledgeable and a really wonderful instructor. I've been diving for years but never more than twice a year and she walked me through everything for a mini refresher without ever making me feel silly about it. She made sure both of us were comfortable the entire trip (before the dive, during, and after) and was just nice as can be. I have never been on a dive with someone that made you feel so safe while also making sure you have the best experience and dive possible. If you're researching who to dive with on your trip, look no further. It doesn't get better than Indigo Divers. Thank you Pats!!

Great dive company, family run exceptionally friendly and safe...
Both my children signed up to get their PADI open water qualifications with Indigo and they were super helpful and very communicative. What with the new post-covid regulations it was great to be able to organise things ahead of time as we saw a lot of people having to be turned away due to a limited capacity even though Indigo would have been happy to take them onboard if they had been allowed.
Equipment is very safe and in good condition, the dive instructor speaks perfect English (and I assume French and German for any other tourists who are interested).
Dive sites were cool and we saw a couple of sharks, turtles, eagle rays as well as other things.
I couldn't recommend these guys enough for anyone coming to Antigua - just contact them ahead of time to get all the paperwork etc sorted out in advance

Been diving for almost 50 years globally and this is probably the best dive team I have been with due to; punctuality, organisation, safety, purpose built and fast dive boat, knowledge of all local reefs and marine life. Also very experienced team and highly professional. Diving with them is moreish, so lovely and friendly too!!!

beautiful, well equipped boat and excellent service - Pat did absolutely every single thing for you. She is amazing at making sure everyone understood how to enter and exit the water as well as all the hand signals. I doubt that she even weighs 85 lbs and she was lifting those tanks around like they were nothing. It's obvious that she truly enjoys what she does because it shows! Will, the boat captain was probably one of the best looking boat captains I've ever met and he was attentive to every need as well. He even made sure our flip flops were neatly placed on the dock for us to find when we hopped off the boat. I felt safe with their equipment and enjoyed hearing about the island from them both. We felt SO special on our scuba vacation. Thanks to you both and keep up the great service!

My husband and I went diving with Indigo Divers for two days in late-November. We are very inexperienced divers and dive masters Will and Pat were very patient with us and gave us a lot of helpful tips so we can continue to become better divers. We are very thankful!

My husband Mike was diving alone
They picked him up at hotel for five min drive and they got out right on time and had two tank dives each of two days
Antigua is so beautiful. The boat and equipment was top notch and safety was abundant
The dive master worked with a young man who waS completing some skills that day while managing the others
Boat limited to six during covid.
This is a great group and well deserved of a five rating

Very friendly and most importantly safe diving operator. I booked at short notice for myself and 2 sons (aged 15 and 17) who had qualified a couple of years ago and had a bad dive in the UK last year. Pat spent 30 minutes in the pool with them before we set off on the boat to go through the drills and bring back their confidence.
Pat is so calm, patient and professional, giving clear instructions and briefings and leading the dive very well to ensure everyone got the most out of their time in the water.
The boat is very well equipped and everything was set up ready to go. They also changed all the kit over in between dives.
The dive itself was fantastic with great coral, lots of fish as well as a few sharks sighted. Pat mentioned that the visibility wasn't that good, but it wasn't that bad (probably 10 - 12m)
Most importantly both my boys had a great time, really enjoying the dives and lifting their confidence back up.
I would highly recommend Indigo Divers. They are very experienced, have excellent kit and are well set up with a powerful spacious boat.

Booked dive trip close to resort we stayed.....paid up front have to agree capt needs to work on his manners,he hollered at my buddies wife to listen to him not cool she was just excited her first dive...my wife has over 70 dives but she's not a spring chicken anymore and had a hard time equalizing so she got out after 5 minutes of 1st dive and did not dive either time.as a business man I would of offered my customers a refund or partial but took her money and wet suit money. Money is not a issue for us, I am all about customer service and I guess the reason I am successful is because I put my customers first they really need to learn businesses etiquette......the dive was probably the least interesting dive I have ever dove, other then that they everything else was ok.

Had two days of diving with Indigo Divers.
First day was with Pats, she was great: clear instructions, didn't overpromise; during the dives she managed to find a great balance between keeping an eye on the group, and finding critters for us to see.
The second day we went with Erica (sp?). It was good, but not only did she not call out a diver whose fins were constantly hitting corals, but her own fins did that, too. I thought I had been the only one to observe that, but later found out others saw it, too. I understand Erica was to be with Indigo Divers only for a short time, though.
I'd recommend Indigo Divers disassociate itself from the 'Xtreme adventure' boat ride. When we got to Indigo's shop we were also offered a boat trip, and based on Indigo's good reviews we booked the boat trip. It was a tourist trap. Our own fault for not doing research in advance, but as we had researched Indigo and seen good reviews, we thought it was the same company and relied on that.
But again, Pats was great, I'd be glad to have her as my dive guide again!

How did you get to and from the dive shop? How much was the cost of transportation?
Written 4 November 2019
Need to take a local taxi about $70 US return from the Royalton hotel (30 min drive) less if closer to the Harbour
Written 5 January 2020
How much was the taxi to and from the port to the dive shop? Thanks.
Written 4 November 2019
$20 to $25 no matter how many folks, so its good to share the ride.

what time frame should i expect for a morning 2 tank dive?
Written 21 August 2019
I started at about 08:30 at the harbour and finished the two cylinder dive by lunch.

Do you offer a snorkel excursion? Or only diving?
Written 3 May 2019
Indigo divers, Antigua seem more focussed on diving but there are some great snorkelling sites on the reefs so worth asking as sure they would fit in a group outing so go ask.
Written 3 May 2019
There are also houses around the marina that can be rented.
As Steve said, Jolly Beach is not the best resort. I would not upgrade to anything there because it is all a waste of money. A better room doesn't make the resort better, it just costs more money. The beach however, is beautiful.

Hi , can you please tell me about a typical dive? Duration, depth, surface intervals, fast boat? Thanks
Written 28 January 2016
We dove with Indigo on only one day. Depths on both dives were ~40-45 feet. Duration was 50 minutes or when your tank hit 750lbs. Regardless of your computer reading. Boat was about average for dive boats though high seas might have slowed us down. It was well maintained and crew were very good.
