Worth the money - great crew!
We were a family of 4 (16- 50 years old) and the instruction time and content were perfect before diving. They took as out to a nice reef area and we were able to find the following items underwater & BRING back with us: a USA $10 bill (son), a super cool seashell - conical - seriously cool (wife), an empty turtle shell (daughter) and I found a Live Lobster. (OK - THAT they did NOT let me bring back - but I got great pictures of it!!) When we got back the USA we signed up for SCUBA diving lessons in our town! We will definitely be doing a LOT more of it!! Guides were great, time was adequate, and the experience was awesome! BTW - we had the same crew when we came out a few days before to go parasailing and they were great on that as well!
Response from the operator: Happy we could have been a part of your vacation experience in Jamaica. We value your feedback as it helps to gage of service quality and to improve, Respect!

Fantastic Diving Experience with Attentive and Patient Instructors
Andre and Dusty were very attentive and patient instructors/guides. They were knowledgable and devoted the necessary time to make sure we were comfortable. I would highly recommend them for beginners and novices. Job well done for a fantastic diving experience. Keep it up!
Response from the operator: looking forward to your return, happy your experience with us was a satisfying one

Excellent service for beginners
Had a wonderful experience with Liam this morning trying out scuba driving for the first time in Ocho Rios, Jamaica. Liam took his time guiding me through the process and ensuring my comfort and confidence throughout the journey. I was able to experience a whole new world beneath the water. Will definitely rebook with PADI when I return.
Response from the operator: The team were happy to have you

Great value diving with knowledgeable outfit
Scuba caribe based at Rui Oche Rio’s is a great experience. Knowledgeable instructors (thanks Liam & Dusty) safe environment to refresh skills or more challenging dives- all there and straight off the hotel beach too. May have to devote another day
Response from the operator: perfect!

Amazing PADI instructor
Bancroft was a patient and understanding PADI instructor. My husband and I got open water certified and Bancroft was super flexible with the open water dive times. He even scheduled a private dive for us to help me get acquainted with the open water since I had never done that before. Highly recommend scuba with Bancroft and for everyone to check out the beautiful aquatic life in Jamaica!
Response from the operator: scuba diving in Ocho Rios Jamaica, is a unique experience, but we are experts on training new divers

Discover Scuba Diving From Ocho Rios: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ocho Rios.
How much does Discover Scuba Diving From Ocho Rios cost?
+
Prices start at $330 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Ocho Rios usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Discover Scuba Diving From Ocho Rios take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Ocho Rios is not rushed.
Is Discover Scuba Diving From Ocho Rios worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Ocho Rios, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Discover Scuba Diving From Ocho Rios?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Discover Scuba Diving From Ocho Rios suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Discover Scuba Diving From Ocho Rios?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Ocho Rios can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Ocho Rios and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Discover Scuba Diving From Ocho Rios start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Ocho Rios within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Ocho Rios?
+
On Outty we rank every Ocho Rios experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Ocho Rios Blue Hole and Dunn's River Falls Tour, Blue Hole only-from Ocho Rios, Blue Hole and Dunn’s River Falls Tour with Lunch and Cocktails at Reggae Hill. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Ocho Rios?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Ocho Rios?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

+
