    Great dive shop and instructors. Had a blast with them and they even sent us photos from their GoPro from our dives which was really awesome. Definitely would dive with them again!

    Spent 4 days with these guys, did my wave 2 cert in the mornings and spearfishing in the afternoons. Knowledgeable instructors and great divers. For spearfishing, they were able to put me on fishy spots even with low vis and not great conditions. Great trip!

    My fiancée and I recently completed the OWD. We were therefore a little nervous before one of our first dives in the open sea. However, the nervousness quickly subsided. The main reason was the professional and courteous crew from "Be Water Diving" in Tamarindo. The team is very well coordinated and everything is organized and orderly. Even as a beginner, you feel well looked after and cared for right from the start. The dive was a great experience for us and we can hardly wait to dive again soon. We would like to thank our dive guide Luca once again. He was one of the main reasons why we will remember this dive as such a positive experience. Many thanks also to the captain and the whole boat crew, who did a fantastic job. If you are looking for a professional diving center with a great team in Costa Rica, "Be Water Diving" in Tamarindo is the place to go!

    These instructors are amazing. I’ve taken lessons in Hawaii and California with very little success. They actually take the time to teach you and work with you to make the lesson a success. Elias, Patsy, and Beto all worked with our group - all of them are great.

    HELLO! MY FIRST TIME TO TAKE SURF LESSONS, I WAS SO GRATEFUL TO FIND THESE GUYS! EVI WAS MY INSTRUCTOR. THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE WAS AMAZING!! BY THE WAY I’M 67. COMING FROM MONTANA, I I UNDERSTAND RIVERS AND WHITEWATER, BUT NOT OCEANS AND WHAT TO LOOK FOR WITH WAVES. EVI DID AN AMAZING JOB,EXPLAINING WHAT TO WATCH FOR WHEN YOU’RE AT THE OCEAN. ALSO EVI WAS SO PATIENT AND ENCOURAGING FOR MY FIRST LESSON 🏄🏻 I WENT SOUTH OF TAMARINDO, FOR MY LAST 4 WEEKS, AND BECAUSE OF THE GREAT JOB OF TEACHING ME, I WAS ABLE TO GO OUT ON MY OWN AND FEEL COMFORTABLE ON THE WATER.EVERYONE IN THE SHOP WAS SO FRIENDLY! ANYONE I RUN INTO…. I TELL THEM, THIS IS THE PLACE TO GO!🏄🏻🥰

    Captain Willy is execellent. Super professional, knows how to get you near the fish, and make things happen. Both times I’ve been with him he has set the location and other boats has followed. We got some yellow fin and tuna mackerel and we’re reeling in fish all afternoon. Such a great experience to have with my wife, first time fisherwoman. He also gave us honestly recommendations for the best time to go A+ experience. I book Willy every time I’m in Costa Rica.

    Monica was fantastic. We booked a lesson with her for our teen boys and she did a fabulous job. She was engaging and did a great job of helping them improve their surfing even more. She provided lots of tips and tricks, and even sent links of helpful videos. She clearly has been surfing a long time and knows her stuff. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for lessons while in Tamarindo
