Slow Dive is a small eco-friendly dive center

that organize dive trips, 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, to offer a dedicated quality service, more personal, in small groups.
Because we like to take our time to teach you diving or to show you the most beautiful creatures that you can see in the Caribbean Sea.
Because we like and know nature, and we can teach you how to dive in a sustainable way. With us, you can also participate in marine conservation dives or programs and make a difference.
