I did my dive rescue course and 5 days of fun dives here, and can’t recommend BDC enough! All the staff, especially Leandro and Raul who I dived with, are friendly, safety-conscious and so helpful. Equipment is well-maintained, good dive briefings, and you get a free drink with fellow divers in the debrief.

I stayed for more than a week to get my Advanced Open Water Diver and Rescue Diver Certificate and to do some fun dives as well. I can highly recommend diving with Bocas Dive Center, as it is a 5-Star center and the biggest dive center in town with a sunken airplane right in front of their docks.
