My wife and my two kids all had an awsome time on our hooka diveing experience, having sheduled the activity months in advance it turned out to be everything wecould have hoped for. Thats all my kids have been talking about since. My kids took pictures with under water cameas.Our refrigerator is covered with the memories of our family adventure. To bad theres no hooka diveing in New Jersey. We went out to the island icacos? it was absolutly beautiful on top of the water and below. The water was crystal clear absolutly amazing. Adam and the crew of the black dog gave us an awsome experiece me and my family will never forget. Thanks agin
The whole snuba diving experience was great! Adam and his team were really sweet to us and made the whole experience really fun! My husband and I have never snorkeled before so we were a little nervous about getting into the open ocean. Adam let us snorkel for a while till we got used to it and then we dove off to the bottom of the ocean! That was a fantastic experience! The ocean bed was beautiful...white sand and nice reefs and it was so so quiet underneath! Our diver guide showed us a few reefs and let us swim around a little bit..it was so awesome to be standing on the ocean bed. Adam and his team made us feel very comfortable and didn't let us dive until we were confident enough to do so. The whole experience was great fun especially since we have never ever been in the open ocean before. Totally worth all the time and the money!
this was a great afternoon trip. my husband and i had a wonderful time. adam and his crew are great people. i felt very safe. it was such a fun time. a great happy medium from snorkling and scuba diving. such a great time and a great experiance. i highly recomend it.
My husband and I are non-swimmers so we always missed out on water activities. When we read tripadvisor reviews on snuba, we were thrilled that we could perhaps do this despite not knowing to swim. We missed our snuba tour due to some ferry cancellation as we were headed back to luquillo from vieques. Instead of shrugging us off, Adam (the owner) was so gracious that he actually gave a separate tour just for us! Of course, it was a toned down version of the tour in the sense, we didn't go on a boat to a spot where the reefs could be found but nevertheless, he took the trouble to bring all the necessary equipment, and gave us about 45 minutes to an hour doing snuba. I opted out of it as I was not well but my husband totally enjoyed it. Adam was willing to give us the tour for free (for real) but we felt bad that he had to go to all this trouble just to give us the experience. Finally he charged us just $20- that included the training, the gear and equipment. He took pictures under water as well- we haven't got it yet but he promised that he will send it after he develops the films. We were going to do the regular snuba tour the next day but our packed schedule didn't allow us much time to do it. We will definitely do it the next time we are at PR and we highly recommend this tour to all! It is fun and a must do thing if you are at Luquillo. A special thanks to Adam for going out of the way and making this a memorable trip for us.
My wife and I did this tour on our first visit to PR two years ago. We had such a great experience, we knew that we would do it again when we returned to PR. This time around was an even better experience than the first.To be able to take a group of tourists with widely varying levels of diving experience (most non-existant) and get them to a point where they can swim freely underwater in a single session is a commendable feat in itself. Adam and his crew have the art form down.I tell my friends "It is like floating in the middle of an aquarium." -- an experience unlike any other. If you are visiting Puerto Rico, put this on your to do list.
What a fabulous experience! It is an easy, family friendly adventure. First you head out to one of the small islands of Fajardo. We took the morning trip and we were the only boat out there at the time. Wonderful! Adam is a character and takes the time to make you feel comfortable and capable. It is remarkably easy. Lovely coral and colorful fish abound. After the snuba experience there was some time for snorkeling too as the snuba gear is put away. It was worth every penny and we would do it again!
My husband & I went "hooka" diving with Adam on 2/1. I really appreciate how Adam offered us a good experience & took care of me. He noticed on the form I completed that I had some medical issues, so he asked his assistant, Wes, to stay with me the whole time. Wes held my hand, made sure I was breathing correctly & led to some beautiful places. I really enjoyed it & felt safe. I have always had trouble snorkeling, so this was a fabulous way to see the coral reef & fish, without scuba equipment.
We visited with four teenagers--two 17-year-old girls and two 15-year-old boys. We spent a week in Puerto Rico, and Water City was hands-down the high point of our vacation! Adam went above and beyond to accommodate us. We'd scheduled our dive on a Wednesday; however, the weather was bad, so Adam called back and rescheduled us--twice--because he was concerned first and foremost with the safety and quality of the dive. Adam, Ray and Wes were knowledgeable and friendly. They explained everything and put everyone at ease, which was important since it was our first dive and the kids were a little nervous. Our daughter, who had previously injured her ankle, was unable to use flippers. Rather than having her sit out the dive, Adam dove tandem with her so that she wouldn't lose out on the experience. She saw a sea turtle, coral, and beautiful fish! Teens are a tough audience, but ours have been raving about their "snuba" experience ever since! This activity was a blast, and Adam, Ray and Wes were great! I would highly recommend Water City to anyone of any age. Thanks, guys, for a great experience!
this was by far the best adventure I have ever had. I hope to do it again someday. The captain was wonderful. Very friendly and knowledgeable
My husband, nine-year-old daughter and I went hookah-diving with Adam and Wes on 2/1 and had a great time. It will be one of our most memorable experiences from our PR vacation.Both Adam and Wes were very safety conscious, professional and knowledgable when it came to the diving. Adam did a good job putting my daughter at ease and making her laugh. He very cleverly pegged me as the most nervous one in our family, so got me in the water first - so I couldn't fret about my daughter and before I could change my mind. Wes was our family's diving guide and he was fabulous. He paced the dive just right for all three of us (none of us had snuba'd before, but we all can swim). My daughter came away with a renewed sense of confidence and pride at what she had done. My husband and I felt the same way.While it may be true that Adam is a bit of an acquired taste, and I sure wouldn't want to work for him, that didn't affect our core experience.
