Buddy Dive is summer camp for scuba divers. It caters to new divers and those seeking certification. They are very good on safety briefings and doing a roll call after dives. I wish every dive operator did. Only issue with the briefings is they sometimes scold the divers a little, like kids at camp. The dive plans run down a reef and turn back at 25-30 minutes, and they are back to the boat by 50 minutes. The last 10 minutes or so are spent killing time under the boat. I think if they see they have an experienced group they should loosen that up a little. They skimp on surface intervals, which surprised me, doing a second dive usually after about 40 minutes. It’s certainly safe, but not a best practice by any means. I just finished 2 weeks there as a solo diver and give it good marks overall, but it’s really not for advanced divers. Staff is great, from the shop to the boats to the restaurant people, everyone was polite and attentive. Boats are great, their nitrox tank fills were usually 3200psi, which is great. I did a number of solo shore dives on their house reef and it is very nice, probably the best I’ve been on in the Caribbean. I enjoyed the easy access to shore dives, and with their car and gear I did a few shore dives elsewhere. It’s a fine operation and easy to get a lot of time underwater, which is what I wanted. Great location, great sunsets, nice place.
