I really enjoyed my divemaster course at Bocas Dive Center! It’s a really professional set up, well organised and you’re treated as part of the team. My instructor was Leandro who gave me excellent instruction, guidance and advice to prepare me for work as a divemaster.

I came here to do my Divemaster and loved it so much that I ended up staying to do my Instructor course! The staff is super professional, experienced and SO friendly that you won’t wanna leave the dive center. Not to mention the AMAZING location and all the facilities there.
