On arriving in Santa Cruz on Lake Atitlan, I came across ATI divers and decided to go for a couple of dives on impulse. As a working dive professional myself, I am quite sensitive to other operations' take on customer service, safety, equipment and atmosphere in the dive shop. ATI divers were absolutely great on all counts. The staff, Andy... More

I am so thankful I chose to be PADI Open Water certified with ATI! For the best price in the world I received private instruction by an excellent, kind and very experienced dive instructor, Andy Morgan. The dives were fascinating, Lake Atitlan is most beautiful and impressive below its surface. I would definitely dive here again! More

I have been PADI certified for 22 years, and signed up for a "fun dive" at ATI divers. I was suprised at the professionalism of this outfit run by Andy. Even with my experience, Andy wanted to insure I was familiar with high altitude diving. I have been on too many dives where the dive masters do not care about... More

I feel a little bad not giving this place 4 or 5 stars like the other reviewers, but I just feel like it's giving the wrong impression. I took my husband to do the altitude specialty course with ATI partly due to the great reviews I'd read on Trip Advisor. And don't get me wrong - the company itself is... More

I went to Lake Atitlan both for its beauty and also because I was interested in trying out altitude diving just out of curiosity. A handful of people tried to persuade me otherwise, saying that there's nothing to see in the lake, that it's polluted etc. and basically saying it's not really worth diving at Atitlan. Despite all the discouragement,... More

I was on Lake Atitlan for a month while working for a medical aid program. During that time, I decided to take up scuba and saw that ATI divers was offering an Open Water course on the lake with flexible scheduling. My instructor, Andy Morgan was excellent. He made sure I was comfortable with all skills and allowed me to... More

I was staying on Lake Atitilan looking for something different to do and found Andy and Ati Divers on line. I did a one day Altitude Diver Specialty with Andy and it turned out to be my favorite day in Guatemala. I learned a lot and was able to make two really unusual dives at altitude. Andy was an excellent... More

Lake Atitlan is a great place to learn scuba, as without all the distractions of not wanting to disturb coral or fish, you really concentrate on diving skills. Andy is an amazing teacher, patient, calm, humorous, intelligent, and focused on safety. I took this class to help get over my fear of drowning, and after I left, I went to... More
