We did two dives and wished for more. Our first dive was fairly anti-climactic with not much to see. I understand this is rare though as the others who dove with us said they had been diving for days and that it was the least active dive they had been on as well. The night dive however was incredible. It was my girlfriend and me's first time on a night dive and we absolutely loved it. Highly recommend Dolphin Dive to anyone travelling to Little Corn. Very educated, friendly, and helpful staff. Wish we would have had more time to get more dives in.
My review is about the operators and not particularly the diving which was pretty good but not mind blowing.The price charged is incredibly low and great value. The service is very good and the dive operation very well managed.You arrive 30 minutes before your dive and your gear is ready for you in the boat. The boat leaves on time and it is just a short ride to the dive sites. Everything worked well from start to finishHighly recommended if you want to dive Little Corn
I just got my Open Water two months ago and these were my first 2 fun dives. So I was a bit nervous but my dive master Garru was great and caring and I had the best dives! I would advice to do at least two dives. Our first one was to YellowTail, the second one to Patch. On the second dive, we had a nurse shark following us like like a dog the entire dive (47 minutes). It was an amazing experience. The equipment was in good shape and another plus is that you can choose between bar and PSI, easy for Europeans who are used to bar. Great experience, I can recommend them!
I went for my PADI last November and chose Dolphin Dive over the other dive shop on the island because they were quick to reply to my emails (I never heard back from the other dive shop). I was quite nervous to do the course as I had never done anything like this before. My instructor Stefano was great and helped me out a lot, turned out I had nothing to worry about. The 4 days of learning were fun (besides being stung A LOT by jellyfish during the enclosed dives). I would recommend diving here as the instruction was excellent and the diving superb. We even got to watch Stefano spear a dragon fish and feed it to a shark. Make the most of the free filtered water they offer too.
I've dove quite a bit throughout Southeast Asia, Central America, and the Caribbean, and I have normally found dive masters and the staff at dive shops to be quite amiable people who enjoy their work. This was my first (and so far only) experience in which I been treated rudely. Although I stated that I was willing to join any other dive groups that were going the next day, one of the dive masters/managers acted put-off that I was a solo traveler and wasn't able to offer the business of a large group. He ignored my inquiries and stated that I could show up the following morning and see if anyone else was going. The following day only proved to be much worse as the dive master/manager continued to display a negative attitude and would only provide short, curt answers if he did address our dive group at all. It was completely unprofessional and put a huge damper on my stay on the island. I ended up leaving early. Besides the service, I thought that the diving wasn't nearly as great as the Bay Islands in Honduras. For beach fronts on Little Corn that weren't directly in front of a hotel/hospedaje, there was quite a bit of trash along the shoreline and in the brush. It was definitely disheartening to see.
Diving with Dolphin Dive was an amazing experience. The instructors were very fun and helpful about everything. I got my open water certification within a couple of days, and later enjoyed many dives in the beautiful reefs around Little Corn. Dolphin Dive is the way to go if you are looking for a beautiful place to dive with an amazing set of dive instructors. I'm looking forward to my next trip back.
This was such a perfect experience! I was able to get certified and get up to my 14th dive at Dolphin Dive, and every time was breathtakingly beautiful. I always felt safe, and every dive was more than worth it. And the night dives are the best! Try it-- you won't be disappointed! The instructors are calm, easy to talk to, and fun! I had a great time not only diving and learning from them, but also just talking to them about anything. They are knowledgable, fun, and organized-- would definitely recommend!!!
That last guy obviously went to a different place then this because I am a solo traveler and thought it was super professional and the staff was a blast. Stayed for 2 weeks instead of 3 days I was having so much fun. Went on 22 dives while I was there. Adam respond promptly to my email while I was in Granada, answering all my questions and giving me the low down on the conditions. The whole staff loves their job and it shows. They make it fun but safe as well. I am pretty sure that if Gary, one of the dive masters, had gills, he would be living under water. Oh and did I mention how cheap it was. Check it out for yourself. I dove Honduras last year just like the last guy, and I thought this was better here, as Honduras seemed a bit over fished. You will fall in love with this entire island and miss your plane like I did. You will see.
I went with my sister and a friend to Little Corn and to specifically dive with Dolphin Dive after a friend’s recommendation and they didn’t disappoint. Even with a slight scheduling mix-up in the beginning, Adam (runs the shop) quickly fixed it for us and we were on our way to diving 20 dives that week. My sister was doing her Advanced certification while we were there and Stephanie and Jen took great care of her and she learned everything she needed to know. We got to dive with Garry and Molly all week and it was a complete blast. Terrence (or Tree Chainz as we call him) was our amazing captain and took great care of us. Everything was well run, the briefings were great and the gang was fun to hang around with. We also stayed at Los Defines right next door, so it couldn’t have been more convenient. We went on two night dives which were two of the most amazing night dives I’ve ever had because of the bioluminescence. And what great dives for my sister’s first night dives! The second dive we had our lights off for about 15 minutes and it was like being inside the Avatar movie. I highly highly recommend doing this and just leaving your light off for as long as you can! We hit as many sites as we could on the one side of the island due to the time of year and wind on the other side, so we also missed out on any hammerhead sitings. But that just leaves me a reason to go back! We made some great friends at Dolphin Dive and I highly recommend checking them out if you’re heading to Little Corn. Thanks guys!!!
We did one dive with Stef with a group of 5. Decent equipment, good boat and great dive spot. Stef hunting for invasive species and killing a lion fish provided the icing on the cake.Would recommend this diving school
