"My friend and I did a dive at Isla de Plata. The crew was very helpful and good at explaining despite our limited spanish. We paid in advance using Western Union money transfer and communicated with them using whatsapp (phone number is listed on their website). They were very responsive and gave a lot of information on the tour timing, what came with the package, and in giving us directions to the office which can be tricky in this area. They were very accommodating when we were running late. Would dive with them again!"

"Had a fantastic day diving at Isla de la Plata with dive masters Luis and Sonia, who were both excellent. The equipment and boat were good quality. The diving is really good here and I was fortunate enough to see the manta rays, and we were even able to see a big pod of about 10 humpback whales on the way back to the shore, and the captain was happy to stop the boat and let us watch. Recommend diving here while you are in Ecuador."

"What an amazing and Unforgettable experience. I can’t wait to go back. 1. the crew is incredibly nice and professional and created a very comfortable diving experience. Eric and Maru and Maju the dive masters were awesome!They, along with the rest of the team are extremely nice and knowledgeable about diving and wildlife 2. the dive site is amazing (isla de plata) ! So much wild life! Mantas and turtles everywhere and they swim up really close. We happened to be there during whale mating season as well and saw several jumpers on the boat ride to the island. Also I have not seen such a healthy reef in a long time and I live in the Florida keys!! The coral here is huge and beautiful! I highly recommend this dive team and location."
