DIVING PLANET is a Safe, fun and responsibly operated diving tour. The equipment was totally satisfactory and sorted and tailored to each diver. The boat ride to Rosario was fast and takes an hour. At the location at the main island there is a place for all your stuff to be stored, helpers to move your diving equipment into the... More

My sister and I received our Open Water certification at Diving Planet and found the staff very professional and helpful. Andres was a great, patient teacher. I was very nervous the first time we dived in the ocean, but Andres calmed me down and helped me feel very comfortable. There was one skill I had difficulty mastering because of my... More

This is the second time this year my girlfriend and I have been diving with Diving Planet in Cartagena. We can highly recommend their outfit for its professionalism, reliability and safety consciousness. This time round we took their PADI courses, the Advanced Open Water for me and the Open Water for my girlfriend. The teaching and training was serious and... More

I'm in Cartagena for two weeks and apart from walking round the city getting offered beads and hats, there is not a lot to do. I am a girl (aged fifty) from a village in the English countryside and haven't left English soil since 1987, so this whole experience is a bit of a culture shock anyway. I don't like... More

We booked a snorkeling trip through Dive Planet based on reviews and also that we had received a discount from the owner. We were picked up from our hotel and dropped at the wharf, that was the last we saw of the person we thought we would be snorkeling with. Basically you catch a boat to an island resort with... More

We are sorry about your expectations about our plan. We have different options according to our customer’s budget. Of course you can have a more privet service but is a little more expensive in that way and you take the cheapest one. We have instructors for you to go in every moment of your snorkeling activities but normally our clients... More

I'd never scuba'd before coming to Diving Planet. I took the PADI Open Water and Advanced Open Water Courses, which included some weeknight theory lessons and 9 dives over two weekends. The staff was friendly, helpful, and spoke english. During the theory part, they served coffee or coke, and our instructor, Andres, was quite serious about making sure we knew... More

First I should say I thoroughly enjoyed the time with Diving Planet and, compared to other trips to the Rosario Island, the price point was good too. The dives were easy and enjoyable. There was one divemaster to three divers. The divemaster was unenthused, though. We did go on a 70 foot first dive and a 40 foot second dive... More

We went diving with Diving Planet twice and it was alright - and I'm very suprised about the kind of comments given here. Let me put it this way: If you never dove before and want to step beyond your snorkel experience, I'm sure Diving Plant will give you a great introduction into the world of diving. If you are...
