Just wanted to share my recent dive experience with Blue Magic Scuba, especially for those beginner divers who are just starting out like me.
my friends and I, both Open Water newbies, got thrown into a group of six with four experienced divers with over 50 dives each. This mismatched grouping significantly impacted the quality of the experience for both groups.
One of the major drawbacks was the lack of individual attention. I told the Dive Master, Mauricio, about my 6-dive résumé and a little sniffle I had that day. But nope, he assumed we were all pros.As the last one to exit the boat, I was left alone in the water as the group descended. Despite a reminder from another diver, the descent proceeded without waiting for me, leading to a panicked attempt and unsuccessful descent. Mauricio's response was unexpectedly harsh, including yelling and threats to go down immediately or head back to the boat.
Communication? Zilch. No pre-dive briefing, no post-dive check-up. I even shot an email to Monica, the store manager, about the experience. While I got a refund, the reason she gave was kinda absurd – not having a private guide assigned to me. Seriously?
So, if you're a beginner looking for a more safe and enjoyable dive experience, Blue Magic Scuba might not be your best bet. The lack of attention to individual needs, poor communication, and mismatched groupings will significantly impact your experience. - via
