Slow Dive is a small, eco-friendly PADI dive center
offering dive trips, PADI dive courses
& marine conservation programs and internships
Why diving with us?
Because, as experienced instructors, we want to offer an alternative to bigger dive centers: a dedicated, quality service that is more personal and takes place in very small groups of maximum 4 divers + 1 instructor on board our small boat (unless private group of more than 4 people).
Because we like to take our time, whether we are teaching you how to dive or showing you the most beautiful creatures you can encounter in the Caribbean Sea.
Because we love and understand nature, and we can teach you how to dive in a more sustainable way. With us, you can also take part in marine conservation dives and programs and contribute to protecting the ocean.
