Top notch dive crew!!! - We hadn’t been diving in about 8 years and were a little nervous. The crew was great from the get go and made us feel safe and confident. Everyone was friendly, knowledgeable and provided us with aid when we needed it. We took 2 dives around the Marietta Islands. The water temperature was a bit chilly, but not too bad. The visibility was just okay. We were told the best visibility is during the time of year when the water is the coldest. Overall we had a great experience and saw lots of sea life, including an octopus. It was a good price, which made it worth it. This was definitely not one of my favorite locations to dive, but that has nothing to do the crew. We got to see Blue-footed Boobies, and Humpback Whales, an added bonus! I highly recommend Oceano Life for your diving excursions!

A must-do! - Highlight of my trip! Everyone was so friendly, our dive master Isreal is second to none! I definitely will be back and will be scheduling more than just the two dives.

Scuba diving and snorkeling family trips to Las Marietas - Great crew, amazing diving, Casper (Osvaldo) was a wonderful scuba guide, showing us eels, manta rays, turtles and everything else! Sebastian and Micah did a great job with my daughter and wife who snorkeled. Captain Osvaldo got us there and back with ease and we saw whales breaching several times. Over a professional team and a great day of diving and snorkeling!

Diving in the Puppet Islands - Very nice staff. Santiago, mika, caspar and oswaldo are very chidas people and very good guides. Also what are people who not only care about tourism, but do it with a focus on conservation very cute.

Boatmates called me a Badass - First time diving in 14 years and at first I was reluctant and almost opted out. The dive master was encouraging and supportive, and even made a point to keep eye contact while descending, and staying by my side until she verified that I was feeling more confident. Thank you for a truly great experience where I learned a lot about myself (and about the wildlife we saw!).

Awesome experience for our family of 5 - It was an amazing trip. Our guide Santiago was super informative and helpful. It was just us (our family of 5) on the boat which felt really special. The islands are about a 35 minute trip across the ocean and in the way there we saw whales jumping!! The water was a bit cold, fine for the adult but after 30 mi it’s our kids were ready to get out. While in the ocean our tour guide stayed with us and made adjustments to ensure the safety of our children. When getting back into the boat the kids were exhausted and starving so the sandwiches and sodas were a great surprise that I had forgotten about. We saw more whales on the way back into the dock which again was a great surprise. The captain of the boat was super attentive and as soon as one was spotted would move toward it at a safe distance to see more. I highly recommend this trip. While the water was a bit murky and I have had better visability on other snorkel trips the excitement of the boat ride, the kindness of the guide and the whole experience was super lovely.

Made a beginner feel comfy!! And saw whales! - Absolutely recommend. I am very beginner and Stefano and the rest of the crew made me feel so comfortable the whole time. They also made an effort to spot whales when we were on the boat! Thanks all for a great day!

Horrible experience. - I tried calling/emailing many times to make sure they did resort certification for my teens. No one responded and the day of they said they couldn’t and refused a refund. I was only charged 2 days before and had they responded to any of my attempts, we would have found someone else. Instead, my kids Christmas present was ruined and everyone else was booked for the rest of our trip. They were completely rude and unhelpful. There was only 1 other person on the dive and 5 of us. So they sent us on our way and kept every penny. Huge disappointment trying to entertain sad teenagers for Christmas
