My First time diving in Puerto Vallarta. We chose Banderas Scuba Republic based on the positive reviews. Cesar and our boat Captain did such a great job making sure we had a good dive experience. Cesar's pre dive brief was fun and easy to follow. There were only 3 divers that day so we all stuck together and Cesar led us through two great dives pointing out octopi, eels, balloon fish, and many tropical fish. I would definitely choose this company again for future dives in Puerto Vallarta. Many thanks to Cesar and our boat Captain!

Wonderful experience with excellent guides, especially with this being my first set of open water dives to earn my PADI certification. I highly recommend Cesar and Arnold. They are patient, professional and fun to experience diving with. We dove around the PV Arches and saw octopus, stingray, lobster, and lots of eel and beautiful fish.

Thank you Arnold and Cesar for helping me obtain my certification and for an experience of a lifetime. I will highly recommend you to my friends and family.

Cesar and Arno were so great! They made my friend and I feel very welcome. My friend has never been diving before and they made it very accommodating for him to practice before going his first time. I highly recommend them and their business.

Great service. Excellent communication ahead of time. Professional, safe, and friendly staff. I did a refresher dive and two tank dives with Max. Lucked out and even got to dive with Petr who is a National Geographic photographer and he gave me a complimentary photo! 10/10 would go back. Thank you Cesar and team!

This was my second trip to Puerto Vallarta where I made a point to dive with Cesar and Banderas Scuba Republic again. He honestly treats you like family throughout the experience and you feel safe both topside and below. Originally we had one day of diving planned and quickly chose to dive a second day. Cesar's approach to taking care of friends and customers was inherently experienced by Max who is one of their instructors. Max went above and beyond taking care of my dive partner by providing his own equipment to ensure my friend had a pleasurable experience. We saw a myriad of wildlife including eagle rays, several species of moray eels, octopus, and a variety of fish. If you're diving in PV, you will not be disappointed with Cesar and Bandaras Scuba Republic. We will most definitely be diving with him again.
