I took the Open Water Certification course with George and Fran. The school is highly recommended, since from the first moment they make sure that you really learn from theory to practice. Their patience was impeccable and their professionalism was exceptional. I couldn’t be happier with this experience. 100/10. I leave with many things learned and a unique experience – via

The best place on the island for diving. A super professional and super friendly team who always let you know that everything is under control. If you are lucky enough to take the course with George and his infinite patience, you will enjoy it twice as much. The quality of the team and how they make you feel part of them, even if you have no experience, is incredible. I will always be grateful and very happy to be able to say that I did my Open Water with the Isla Tortuga family?????????? – via

We did our open water here, excellent service from Carlos (we got in touch 2 months before coming) he was very friendly and answered all our questions, we booked our stay here too, it is a hostel where you can sleep peacefully. At night there are very good meals and gatherings! The staff was very friendly, and Maru “boyi” our instructor was a great teacher! All the patience to teach and to trust us too! – via

My partner and I took the Open Water course with George and Cora, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. They were extremely professional, friendly and fun, making each class memorable. From day one they made us feel like part of the family, and their focus on safety gave us invaluable trust. We would recommend this course to anyone interested in diving. Thank you George and Cora for an unforgettable experience! – via

I stayed in the hostel part and had such a good experience with my Open Water, I left the island and came back after 5 days to do my Advanced Open Water while staying in a private room. The facilities were immaculate I felt like a princess in the private room. Beautiful views, gorgeous everything. As a world traveler, it is often difficult to find community abroad. When I come across this in my travels, it is a treasure to behold. Isla Tortuga and the community around and within it, are one of those life-affirming communities. I am so thankful and relieved that people like you all exist. Genuine, good hearted people with a love for adventure, friends and nature. Just wow. I came across Isla Tortuga on a reddit thread randomly on my search for dive schools… and when I saw they also had a hostel connected to it I signed up. Had no idea what I was getting myself into. What a PLEASANT SURPRISE. The people that work at Isla have a special way of making family out of strangers. I feel I have family here. I should’ve assumed by the name that there would be many Spanish speakers here, but did not put 2 and 2 together xD Even if you don’t speak Spanish, just get in the mix with different speaking people. I always felt included even if I was just observing what was happening. There was people here from all corners of the world. This is a treat. The owners of this place are top notch humans. The people that run a business and their character says a lot about a business in its totality. Carlos was super helpful to me in answering all my dumb questions before I even arrived, was very encouraging and caring in his own way. Javier was super organized and helpful with logistics and was a bright light. I felt very taken care of at Isla Tortuga. My teachers were excellent, even though english was not their first language, they spoke great, were both very thorough and highly valued safety. It made me feel comfortable knowing I was diving with people that have been diving for years. Dani, my first teacher for my Open Water certification, had a perfect combination of seriousness and fun. He was down to business in teaching the skills efficiently, so we could enjoy our time diving as well. While at the same time, carries his personality in a way that is light hearted and makes it a fun time. I felt very safe and comfortable diving with him for my first time ever! Incredible!!!! Antonio was my second teacher for my Advanced Open Water course and is truly a love! He was also very careful with all of our skills making sure that we were doing things right and safely, he was very patient and has this wonderful spunky light inside of him. Very knowledgable diver as well. I wish I could just stay here for months, I can see why some people do. It is hard to leave. I know I will be back to do my dive master someday. Thank you to everyone at Isla Tortuga who made my experience nothing short of life changing. – via

This is how it’s nice to start diving!

Good vibes, professionalism and attention to detail??

The values of this company are above money and that means that you have small classes (maximum 4 people), an instructor 100% attentive to you and if there is something that should be above the client, it is the well-being of the animals and the sea bottom ????

From the moment we spoke on WhatsApp with Carlos, we already knew we were in the right place.

Diving is an activity that generates many mixed sensations and at Isla Tortuga they have been able to help us so that, from the Zero moment, everything is about enjoying and learning! ??

We would have liked to stay longer in Tao just to go back down to the water with Turtle Island??

PS: Special greetings to Mikel, our instructor, who helped me learn to open and close the “canister” by myself ???? – via

The beach is incredibly dirty and not like the pictures shown on Google Maps. You have to rent the beach chairs even though you already paid at least US$70 to get there.
There’s a bunch of boats in front of the beach and it smells like gas constantly. You don’t feel like the water is clean at all.

I would never come back to this beach. I recommend you rent a boat and stay in the water far away from Isla Tortuga. – via

(Translated by Google) Many people. At least I like a quiet beach without noise or music in the background, and there it is totally the opposite. The place is nice, but it’s not that bad either.

Mucha gente. Al menos a mi me gusta una playa tranquila sin ruido o música de fondo, y ahí es totalmente lo opuesto. El lugar está bonito, pero tampoco es para tanto. – via
