Comments Our long time favorite operation would not respond to numerous emails. I am still not sure if they are out of business. Now we have a new favorite, Scuba Life. They couldn't have been more friendly and accommodating. The boat had enough room, but no head. We went to shore between dives. They were always responsive to communications before we arrived. They picked us up at the hotel dock, precisely when they said they would every day of the trip. They kept our equipment on the boat at the end of each day, rinsed them for us, and set up our bc before each dive. Underwater they were always attentive, but not in the way. They often pointed out interesting sea life. They were alway in a good mood. They played our choice of music on the speakers. I look forward to diving with them again.
The Presidente was first class, newly renovated. Beautiful. The staff was extremely attentive.
The diving was like the "old days," with big fish and beautiful coral.
We had a wonderful time!

Is Scuba Du no longer the vendor at El Presidente?

I believe that they are still the vendor. We did not use the vendor of the hotel. Did you have a good experience with Scuba Du?
