We recently got our scuba certification with be water diving. We will never forget the experience this lifetime, and all the credits goes to our trainer LUCAS from be water diving! What a kind , sweet gentleman! He made us feel so calm under pressure (literal and mental pressure) and we had the best ever experience. He showed us every little sea creature and made our experience so wholesome! The reef sharks were a beautiful sight! So so thankful to be water and Lucas! You guys are amazing! ❤️we are hoping to somebody come back and dive with you guys again! :))

My wife and I enjoyed 4 dives with Lucas and Ines this past week at the Catalina Islands. Their briefings were thorough, they handled our personal gear between dives as well as overnight, and they were clearly experienced guides at the sites we dove pointing out multiple octopus, eels and other creatures that often require a degree of familiarity to easily locate. The boats are small and we had both snorkelers and discover scuba guests with us each day. However, we did have a dedicated dive master for the certified diver group and we were dropped in different areas. Drinks and snacks were provided, but bring your own towel if desired. We'd dive with them again.

We arrived at the office at 7am and they were waiting and on time. They briefed us and then we took a skiff to the snorkel/dive boat. The crew was awesome and there was some comedy. The crew looked like a Costa Rican version of Money Heist and entertaining and attentive. They gave us water and snacks. We saw an abundance of fish including eels, sharks, a water snake, and a baby shark. We would recommend them to our friends and family and to anyone else who wanted to know a good snorkel or dive guide. Thank you.

I came here on May 5, 2026. It was my first experience diving and I was blown away by the instructors and the dive spot. My instructor Lucas was patient explaining above water and remained level headed in the water. We were lucky enough to see two manta rays, a turtle, and lots of other amazing creatures. The rest of the crew was great and the banana bread they served as a snack was one of the greatest things I’ve ever eaten. It’s safe to say I’m now hooked on diving. Thanks for the amazing adventure! Pura vida!!

Incroyable expérience de plongée à Tamarindo avec Be Water Diving !

Toute l’équipe est extrêmement sympathique, accueillante et très professionnelle. Nous avons plongé aux Islas Catalinas et le spectacle était incroyable : des raies manta par dizaines, des requins à pointes blanches, des raies léopards, etc.

Le centre de plongée à Tamarindo est parfaitement organisé, et une excellente attention portée à la sécurité en plongée, ce qui nous a tout de suite mis en confiance.

Sans hésiter, l’une des meilleures expériences de scuba diving au Costa Rica. Je recommande Be Water Diving à 100 % vivre une plongée inoubliable !

The conditions weren't ideal—strong currents and medium-low visibility—but thanks to them, the experience was safe and very enjoyable. We saw amazing marine life: sharks, manta rays, moray eels, pufferfish...

Definitely a highly recommended dive center!

Incredible time with Jessica and Lucas. True snorkeling and scuba excursions. We saw many trips like this that were more of a booze cruise and are ecstatic with our decision. We had a small group on the boat with us and all had an incredible time. The snorkeling was fantastic and we got to see multiple types of rays including a manta, sharks, all sorts of fish, and even some eels. 10/10 experience.

La plongée au top avec des mantas, raie aigle, requin,... Pensez à prendre un médicament contre le mal de mer car ca secoue. Notre guide de palanquée Ines était au top, à l'écoute, attentive à notre sécurité et notre confort. Super club de plongée.
Pour l'activité tortues, très bonne orga. Nous avons eu la chance de voir une tortue nidifier + des bébés tortues

The instructors are so professional and caring for first time snorkelers. They emphasize safety and had a wide breadth of knowledge about the sea creatures we were about to see. Including a manta rays, tropical fish, eels, one reef shark that stayed at the floor of the ocean. The adventure also takes you on a 45 minute boat ride to gorgeous Catalinas Island. Highly recommend!

From the very first moment, they made me feel incredibly comfortable, safe, and confident. They took the time to patiently explain everything, which made the experience even more special.

An incredible experience! So much marine life, and the experience was even better thanks to Inés, Lucas, and Magda 🙂 I finished my Open Water Diver certification with them, and they made the dives super enjoyable. They showed us marine life that you can't see with the naked eye (octopuses, moray eels, stonefish, etc.). Plus, the cakes they give you on board are delicious!!! And fruit to keep us refreshed. I would definitely dive with them again a hundred times over!
Oh, and I can't forget Nico! He's really nice and explained the marine life of Tamarindo to us :)))

The diving experience was average, as is typical of the ocean. There was plenty of marine life and fish, but we were hoping for good visibility and to see manta rays. Unfortunately, it wasn't to be. It's still early, being January. We'll have to come back. The experience with the dive center was outstanding. The reception, service, equipment, explanations, and knowledge of the guide and assistants were all excellent. The equipment worked perfectly. The boat is safe and well-equipped. Everything was perfect and highly recommended.

My family of 4 booked the half day snorkel trip with Be Water Diving. What an experience! The trip started with a 30min smooth and acenic ride to the Catalina Islands. We saw 2 large turtles in the way. Once we got to the first destination, we all jumped in and snorkelled. We saw many pools of tropical fish, puffers, starfish and other fish. We then went to another location and snorkeled more. The crew were professional, kind, funny and reassuring. We felt very safe the whole time. Snacks and drinks were provided too. I highly recommend this trip. My 19 yr old said this was the best part of our trip to CR which says a lot because we did a ton!
Shoutout to Jessie! Thank you 🙏

The team is friendly and very professional, adapting to each diver's experience level. Diving at the Catalina Islands was one of the best I've ever done. You can see whitetip reef sharks, turtles, rays, and countless schools of fish. Dolphins even came to greet us.
Snorkeling is also possible there.
If you're ever in Tamarindo, don't hesitate to visit this small local dive center!

In the face of all the amazing reviews I contacted them the day before, they said we do snorkelling from 7-12. We planned to be there the next day and they weren’t there. We asked someone, he said they are closed. And later they responded to my whats app message saying we are closed today, even though the day before they said they were open.

We had a great time with this dive center. We did two dives at Las Catalinas, at the El Classico and Los Sombreros sites, and we loved both dive sites. We booked and prepaid through a reliable website they recommended and showed up at 7:00 AM. We reached the dive site in a 40-minute boat ride. We saw numerous sharks, many pufferfish, many moray eels of various colors, and an eagle ray. During the boat trip, we also saw a couple of whales, dolphins, and turtles. Excellent organization. Our instructor, Lucas, was well-trained, spoke good English, and gave us all the necessary instructions before diving. The briefing was well-conducted, and everything was completely safe. The equipment was good and modern. There were only three of us diving with the instructor. We recommend this dive center if you want to dive from Tamarindo.

Wow, what a great company! I really enjoyed the entire experience. From the very first contact over WhatsApp—where the BeWater team was quick to respond and very helpful—to the actual diving itself, everything was perfect.

I booked three discovery dives for my wife and two daughters, as well as a dive trip for myself. Luca, my dive instructor, was extremely kind and made sure I had all the information I needed during our boat trip. The kids also received clear instructions, and I must admit—I was even more excited about their dive than my own. And I was not disappointed! Neither by my dive, nor by the enthusiasm the kids showed after their very first dive.

I was able to join my wife and kids for their second dive, and switching groups was no problem at all. As I said, really wonderful people.
Result: my kids now want to go for their certification!

Great job, BeWater team!

Thank you so much for this unforgettable morning, where we saw sharks, stingrays, turtles, whales on the horizon, and even dolphins jumping out of the water.

So, I get super skeptical when I see perfect five star reviews for the dive outfits that I use for scuba internationally. I visited Be Water’s website, and I was intrigued enough to sign up for a two tank dive with them while I was in Tamarindo vacationing with my family.

Having gone on a dive with Luca and Luis, I now understand… and I agree that they indeed deserve my five stars.

I watched some YouTube videos about scuba diving in the area, so I set my expectations low. I’m happy to report that I was pleasantly surprised. It was about an hour - hour and 15 minutes boat ride out to two dives in Catalina Islands @ Clasico & Pyelas dive sites.

Luis was a patient diver, even with my Master Diver status, and despite alternating thermoclines and rotating currents at 60 to 80 feet deep, we still had a blast seeing families of snoozing white tip reef sharks, several eels, hundreds of schooling fish, and even an eagle ray!

If I had more time in Tamarindo, I definitely would have scheduled more dives with this company. Highly recommend, without reservation; Luis u rock! #puravida

As a woman that will typically join a dive center alone, I would like to lead with the fact that I felt very safe and comfortable diving with this team. From initial contact when I inquired about the dive schedule all the way to saying goodbye. Engaging, respectful, helpful, and fun!

As a divemaster that has worked in many dive centers, I found the team to be very efficient and capable. My Divemaster, Lucas, lead our dive safely, identified aquatic life enthusiastically, provided excellent briefings, and took great care for our hungry bellies and comfort in between dives. The captain drove the boat with skill and respect for both the ocean and us passengers.

Plenty of schools of fish, white tip reef sharks, eagle rays, lobster, needlenose, box/cowfish, puffers- all galore! The coral is still suffering as most of our beloved sites are. I LOVE to dive and so I LOVED these dives and will absolutely return to Be Water.

It was my first time diving since graduating. I was a little apprehensive, but the support was great!! We had the chance to dive with rays, sharks, lots of fish, and even a visit from dolphins along the way. It was incredible 🤩🤩

Be water diving was a great shop in Tamarindo. Luca was a fantastic guide - he knew all the best spots to see wildlife. We even saw 4 baby reef sharks!! Relaxed and safe diving with Be Water Diving.

Incredible experience with Luca and Katie. This was my first dive in 20 years and my son’s first dive since getting his certificate and they were both Extremely professional , safe and engaging. Lucas and Katie gave guidance throughout and we could not have asked for better experience. Got to see incredible sites such as sharks, zebra eel, starfish and lots of schools of fish. Highly recommend

Couldn’t have asked for a better day out diving! Very thorough briefing and instructions which made us feel safe and comfortable in the water. Perfect amount of time spent diving, we really got to explore the reef and take in our surroundings! Thank you Lucas, Mariano and Gabi!!!

Had a great time. Everyone of these guys went out of their way to give you a great dive experience. Lucas was our dive master on all four of my dives. Got to check of one of my bucket list items (White Tip Sharks). Appreciate you guys and truly enjoyed it all. Kudos to Be Water Diving. Hope to see you again. Pura Vida

I cannot say enough good things about this dive company. I dove three days with them - the guides (Fernando and Lucas) were awesome, and did a great job showing us stuff underwater. They run small boats so it doesn’t feel like too many people to a guide. Despite visibility not being the best (related to the time of year), it felt very safe since the guides were always nearby and had their attention of us. Only (minor) negative that I would note is that it the boat is on the smaller side with not much space to move around. But it is well-equipped for diving, and that’s what’s important!

Additionally, I had a group of four that did a discover dive with them. Everyone that participated said it was a great experience - Lucas and Fernando were patient, they felt very safe and would do it again! Highly recommend giving them a shot if you’re looking for a dive company in the area.

I am happy to have chosen to dive with Be Water Diving. When searching for a local operator, with a small outfit and great reviews this dive shop showed up. We always plan out vacations around diving and we prefer the local small shops vs the PADI shops that have all this amazing expensive equipment and fast boats but we prefer the friendly interaction, the local vibe and dive culture. This shop fell nothing short of that.

Willy and Nico were super friendly. Fernando and Lucas were wonderful guides. From start to finish these guys made us feel right at home and made sure we got the best experience we could have.

We went 2 separate days. One was after a week of wind and visibility was maybe 5ft but we saw dolphins on the way out. The other set of dives were made after a few days without wind and visibility was substantially better and we saw a bunch of things!

Highly recommended!

An amazing spot for our first ocean dives! We did our 4 open water dives to finish our scuba certification and it was the perfect combination of learning and exploring!! The instructors we dove with—Fernando, Lucas and Nico—were knowledgeable and made it such an enjoyable experience! We saw sharks, a barracuda, eels, colorful fish, starfish and many other sea creatures. The boat staff were incredibly helpful and the entire experience was one to remember!!

This is a great dive shop. We went out with Fernando and Adriana. While Diving we got to hear whales in the water. We didn’t see them because they were far but it was totally cool to hear them in the water. The crew was really nice and safe. There was tons of marine life. The visibility is not great in these parts, so know that. The dive Shop is small but highly recommended!!

Amazing experience!!!! Communication was incredible. Friendly staff who went out of their way for me and my daughter on short notice. Mariano was patient and very skilled! We had a blast and saw so many beautiful creatures to include giant eels, octopus, and white tip shark along with their baby. Incredible day and in between dives we were welcomed with fresh pineapple and a sweet along with water and tea. Highly recommend this place for all your water adventure needs!!!
