This operation clearly has some standout guides who know how to create memorable experiences. Felipe, Jorge, and Tabitha come up repeatedly in reviews, with guests praising their patience, knowledge, and ability to make first-timers feel completely comfortable. People consistently mention spotting sea turtles, stingrays, starfish, and colorful fish, which suggests the local dive sites deliver on wildlife encounters. What's particularly impressive is how guides handle nervous or non-swimmers—several reviewers specifically note feeling safe and supported even without strong swimming skills. The universal five-star ratings tell the story here. Families seem to love this provider, with groups spanning multiple generations (one mentions ages 17-75!) all having great experiences together. First-time divers especially appreciate the guidance and encouragement, with guides even helping guests interact with marine life like holding crabs. It's the kind of place where people say they'll "definitely do it again" and bring friends back on separate trips, which speaks volumes about consistency and quality.
The Jetty store has all you need!! Also I called about umbrella rentals and the phone number is for the pier store. The Jetty Store is is the same number but ends with 41. The store has beach Wheel Chairs for free rental. It is a collateral exchange usually your car keys or your license. Wheel chair needs to be turned in before the store closes. They also rent Umbrellas right now the fee is $27.
