Our intro dive with Banyon Tree was the best experience during our family trip. We had four first time tweens and I would have bet weā€™d have issues with one or two. Instead, Caitlin and Chris were kid whisperers. They all did great and loved it. I couldnā€™t have been happier with our day and how Caitlin and Chris worked with the kids to make sure they each loved their first dive. I did a dive the day prior with another top ranked shop on TripAdvisor and they were a clown show compared to Banyon Tree. Disorganized, aged equipment, clumsy dive leadership. Talking to Caitlin and Chris about their diving experience and travels was incredible. Youā€™re in the very best hands with Banyon Tree. Iā€™ve family visiting in a few weeks and given how well this went, I am 100% certain theyā€™ll love it too.

I rarely review, but Kevin was an excellent instructor and guide. He broke through with my reluctant teenagers through sheer energy and good vibes. He showed an amazing enthusiasm for his work, kindness to everyone we encounteredā€” clients or notā€” and also showed us a really great dive. There were about 350 photos per dive (we did 2) all provided as part of the experience. Photo quality was way above anything we would have done ourselves. Top notch - canā€™t go wrong with this group.
