Good experience, not worth the price ($400)

I had fun! We had decent water clarity the day that I went, and saw lots of fish and even a turtle. The staff were all friendly and helpful, and there were English/Spanish/Portuguese speakers. However I think this was very overpriced - $400 for a somewhat rundown boat and no food/drinks included felt like way too much. I’d recommend lowering the price to make it more fair for the experience and accessible for more customers!

Caution

The Good….Leo our driver from Rio spoke good English, on time pick up and very pleasant. Appeared it was his first time there, couldn’t find the harbor, and once there didn’t know where the boat was. We got there on time after 3 plus hours of driving. Leo did interpreting as only 1 crew member spoke English. Leo stayed onboard while we did 2 dives were okay with the dive master checking on us regularly. Water temp very cold (65F) with 5mm wetsuit. Visibility 20-60 feet. Good ladder to get back on boat. Crew was helpful in getting equipment on and off. The bad….dive company Mr. Dive or Master Dive (?) Captain didn’t do any safety briefing, started engines while divers were in the back of the boat loading. Minimal safety briefing by dive master. We had to ask for standard pre dive briefing questions. A few equipment issues which they fixed after we pushed for it. Gauge, leaking regulator and fins issues. The dive company deals with a lot of local beginners. Group of 3 certified divers were somewhat ignored. Overall it was okay. Would not recommend. If you go through the tour operator direct, price is about half of Viator. We knew this but went through viator due to better cancellation policy and recourse if something went sideways. Previously Viator refunded us with no issues on a really bad tour last year. They stand behind their tours.

To try

Good diving experiences. But the journey is very long 3 hours outward transfer and 3 hours back. The boat time is 20 minutes one way and 20 minutes return, for 2 dives as certified. Otherwise 1 dive for beginner.
