Diver Testimonials
I started chatting with Mark about diving and my first idea was to do a discover diving section with my 10 years old daughter. Mark answered very promptly and he... read more is very friendly and attentive.
Our instructor Chie was so amazing that I decided to do my PADI open water certification.
I had a lot of issues with sea sickness and my daughter was feeling insecure in her first dive but Chie was so patient that my daughter decided to dive and overcame her fears besides had so much fun! I am super happy the way they handle it and the whole crew are so professional and always thinking about safety!
They have a place where you can refill your water, just do not forget to bring your bottle.
I really recommend them, they are a serious dive center and certified!

I got my PADI open water certification with Ocean Tribe. I completed the coursework online in advance, and it took a morning to complete the pool training. Then we had... read more an afternoon of diving and another morning of diving.
My instructor was Mark Slingo. He was very responsive and helpful over email and good at answering questions during the training. He was somewhat unprofessional and spoke poorly of different dive students he had from different nationalities, and was incredibly rude and racist towards the female Kenyan staff he worked with. He did this in front of us which made me feel very uncomfortable.
In terms of diving, I felt very safe and prepared to dive, although I wasn't taught some important skills like a controlled ascent in case of loss of air underwater. The dive sites were incredible and all the equipment was in good shape.
