We and a couple of our friends went diving with Sally again. We had a great time, and recommend everyone visit the Tugboat! More

This time I went out with them 4 days with a total of 8 dives (8 different sites), Diving was excellent, good viz,... More

Thank You for an great two day experience!!!! I can’t wait to return trip in June and continue diving with the staff here. Everyone was very helpful, and made my open water dives the best ever. I'm proud to have Octopus Diving on my PADI card. More

Did my first ocean dives with Octopus...came highly recommended. Sally, Stu and Steve were great and reassured us in our initial dives. The sites we went to were out of this world! More

I really enjoyed diving with them. The small group was my favorite part! They are very helpful no matter how experienced you are with diving. I really appreciated their enthusiasm and knowledge. More

Diving was wonderful! The staff was very friendly, the sites we visited were great, the gear was brand new. Even though the weather was not great on the surface, underwater it was perfect! More

We spent the week with Octopus Diving. This was my 5th year in a row diving with them. They were over-the-top profesional, fun and they took care of us like crazy. We saw tons of fish, including dolphins, eagle rays, lion fish, angel fish, lobsters, eels, turtles, and more. Thumbs up again this year. More

My first time underwater, I was BAD. The team did a great job introducing me to a wonderful sport in a new environment and patience allowing me to acclimate to the conditions. They gave me the personal attention to establish my confidence underwater and enjoy what I was doing. If you visit, make sure to talk to Roger & Billy... More

Make sure you read the other reviews of this business as they are spot on accurate. Have dove twice now on two separate occasions with Chris and Sally and have been very happy both times. As a relatively novice diver they have taken care of my needs and concerns. On my last dive I paid extra to have Chris as... More

Thanks you for reviewing Octopus Diving. I had an awesome time diving with you again last week and for an extra $100 it's well worth getting a Private Guide for a 2 tank dive, we love what we do and it really shows. The Tug Boat and Turtle Reef were beautiful and so much Marine life - we never get... More

My wife and I spent the last two weeks in St.Martin, with Octopus Diving and it was a marvelous experience. Everything as promised, and then some. Sally, Chris and their dive team of Stuart, Irish Steve and English Steve (sorry fellows, didn't get your last names), were the epitome of dive professionals. Our experience began on arrival, as we drove... More
