We were referred to this place by our hotel and were very pleased with our one dive. We dove at White Holes and saw lots of coral, fish, rays, an eel, and a few nurse sharks. The staff was friendly, our guide was good, and our gear was ok. The wet suits looked like they could use an update, but the water is so warm it didn't really matter. I wish we could have done a few more dives with this outfit.I would recommend this place to everyone because of its good service and great prices.
I have lived in Nicaragua for two years so I'm use to the way businesses are run here. I have also dove all around the world and experienced dozens of dive shops. I have a true passion for diving and I have never turned down an opportunity to dive when gven the opportunity, but there's always a first. I had been in communication with a woman named Mary from Dive Little Corn who was very friendly and seemed willing to make it a good experience. Unfortunately the moment I arrived all the customer service went out the window. I came across a manager who I believe was called Alberto and he was completely unfriendly and unhelpful. Where Mary offered to get us from our hotel to the dive shop, Alberto changed this and said we'd need to walk 40 minutes frm our hotel to the dive shop if we wanted to dive with them. This was sad because we timed the boat ride and it was less than 15 minutes, and Mary had already agreed to pick us up. In 90 degree heat you don't want to be walking 40 minutes either before or after a dive. And I hate a company that can't keep their word. But being from New York I'm not too sensitive and I understand a person can have a bad day. The next day I returned and came across Alberto again. I said, "hello, how are you doing today?" and his response was, "not very good." At that point he just turned away and ignored us. There is no way I could support a business that puts so little value in customer service. He was rude and obviously did not want to be working there. It was such a bad impression that we decided there was no way we'd give them our business. I thought it was strange that their competition had a full house for two days and Dive Little Corn had no clients...I now understand why. I have over 85 reviews and this is my first terrible rating, but well deserved. I hope they take this review and use it to better their business. It is the customers that make a business successful...and when you stop valuing them....it's time to move on or change.
The most enjoyable couple of days I've had in Nicaragua were spent learning how to dive at Dive Little Corn! The staff at Dive Little Corn are all the loveliest people you could ask for, and at the same time professional and experienced. Manu, my diving instructor, made all tasks fun and helped everyone in our group feel comfortable and relaxed. Once certified Dive Little Corn also offered a good deal on subsequent diving. The only criticism I offer is that the owners could invest in some new wetsuits and fins, but then this did not really affect my diving, and the rest of the equipment was completely fine. I would highly recommend it, and if I ever visit again will without a doubt go diving with Dive Little Corn!
As a PADI Instructor I have worked in various shops from big to small operations and this one is top notch. It requires a lot of organization and hard work to run a dive operation in Nicaragua at this level of quality. The dive leaders are very friendly and attentive. This is a "full service" dive shop which means that they will set up and do all the work for you setting up and carrying your equipment. All you have to do is have fun diving (and check your gear before they take it to the boat)! We did five dives with the company and enjoyed all the dives. We were with some beginning divers that I had brought and the dive leaders were on top of them the whole dive whenever something was wrong. At our request they did a trip out to Blowing Rock dive site even though conditions were sub-optimal. They also rented an additional boat for us since their main boat was full.Would especially like to thank Danilo and Sergio for a great experience.
i spent some time in LCI and i was diving almost every day, great dives. groups were small which is very good. all the team very nice and competent. highly recommendable!!
I spent about a week on Little Corn and primarily came for the diving. I did my Open Water Diver and then added some fun dives afterwards, and in no small part thanks to everyone at Dive Little Corn, had the time of my life. The instruction, dives, and everything else were very competent, but most importantly, Sandra, Sergio, and everyone else at DLC make you feel like you're among friends. Thank you! Oh, and of course the diving is great! Nurse sharks, rays, moray eels, lobsters, etc. - what a treat.
Dive instructors are great! did my certification with Sandra, she's a great teacher, explains everything really well and is super fun to dive with
Right on the beach, competent and friendly dive masters, lots of things to see under water -- sharks, sting rays, turtles, scorpion fish, flamingo tongues, puffer fish, cow fish, squid, lots of lobsters, moray eels. Had a great time.
We stayed at casa iguana, so we dived here because it is owned by the same people. The instructors were great, helpful, knowledgeable, spoke good english. Good equipment. Great value for money. Took less people out than dolphin dive which was nice. Would come here again no questions! Thank you for a great experience.
We dove with a group of 3 with Manu a couple of times. Decent equipment, good boat and great dive spots. We were 2 advanced and 1 OW divers. Would recommend this diving centre.
