Did a day trip to Bat Islands with 3 dives with Rocky. We had a really small group (only five people), which was nice. Overall the vibe is super relaxed and it doesn’t feel like a tour with a company but rather like hanging out with friends. The dives were amazing and we saw tons of bull sharks as well as other animals like big rays. Despite being surrounded by sharks we always felt safe under water and on the boat. There was plenty of food available on the boat (sandwiches, donuts, cakes, vegetables) and Rocky also made sure there were vegetarian options for us. We also spent some time between the dives on a secluded beach, which was awesome. Best part was probably Rocky‘s dog who accompanied us on the boat and is probably the most well-trained dog I‘ve ever seen. Only remark: Since it’s not a huge company there’s limited equipment available. So if you are really big or really small, make sure to reach out to Rocky upfront so you can find the right wetsuit/BCD.
Overall it was a great experience and I can highly recommend diving with Rocky and his dog :)

Rocky and his Captain Manuel were an amazing duo. Rocky took us out and showed us the basics of spear fishing, and then demonstrated how skilled he is by providing us with a variety of tasty fish to eat. Captain Manuel was spot on when helping us bait our hooks and clean the fish we caught while line fishing.
After a full day of fishing and snorkeling, Rocky took us to a local bar (Coconutz) and had them cook our catch 3 ways with all the fixings. Amazing time.
Couldn't think of a better way to celebrate my 40th. Thanks Boys

Rocky was clearly very knowledgable of all aspects of the area. We are both seasoned divers but three others on the boat were inexperienced, Rocky accommodated all abilities really well which clearly put the inexperienced divers at ease. The dive trips were all excellent.
The dive boat was very fast compared to there around the area which easily made the more distant excellent dive sites available.
In between dives we were taken to beautiful bays for leisurely swimming in the national parks areas.
I genuinely couldn’t fault this dive operation and will certainly be back again too. Great operation and great staff. 👌👌

I only made two dives with Rocky, but those two top my list.
The boat/atmosphere can be summarized as good vibes. There were a few of us on the boat, but it didn't feel overcrowded. With the background music and excellent company, it was an enjoyable experience in itself. Havoc (the dog) and the captain definitely bring the atmosphere up. Also, the food between dives was great!
The dives were legit some of my favorite ever. Period. We got some far-away shadow glimpses and some closer glamour shots of bull sharks on our first dive. An incredible experience right there. On the second dive, there was so much to focus on. Surrounded by schools of fish, spotted eagle rays, and white-tip reef sharks, each direction gave new insight to their natural interaction. This was surreal. I think these experiences were a direct result of Rocky and his crew's expertise. They took safety seriously, but also focused on giving us have the best experience possible.
I like to dive, so every dive I go on is great in my book. With that said, these two dives stood out. If you have an opportunity to dive the Bat Islands with Rocky, take it. I am glad I did.

As a group of 5 divers we had different requirements and wishes and Rocky accommodated for all of them. He’s super familiar with all the dive sites and even knew where to find the sharks. One of us got certified with him and felt super safe and free to ask any question she had. Overall, we had so much fun on Rocky’s boat, good vibes all around, easy communication and Rocky even took us out for beers after the dives! A mega plus is that his dog Havoc often joins on the boat 😍 We honestly cannot recommend him and his company enough, we had such a genuine blast. If you are considering diving (whether you are experienced or a total beginner), don’t even think about it - just book your dives now!

Rocky took our 11-person group on a great boat adventure. The plan was to head to a secluded beach for lunch where we would cook steaks and snorkel. On the way there, we dropped in some fishing lines...we caught skipjack tuna and a Spanish Mackerel, and we almost had a Mahi Mahi!
Once we got to the beach, Rocky grilled up some awesome steaks, and we snorkeled around to check out the marine life. 100% would recommend Rocky for any boating activity!

Some of the best diving we have ever experienced out at the bat islands.
The crew (especially Rocky) went the extra mile to make sure we saw everything we wanted and had a special experience. Laidback enjoyable experience with no rush to get back to base. Everyone left happy,
Would recommend this company to anyone and will dive with them again one day.

What an amazing and authentic diving school! We can only recommend you guys to spend some diving days with Rocky and his crew, if you want to have a personalised experience in super small groups far away from mass tourism and overcrowded boats.
Highly competent crew in a super friendly environment - feels more like diving with friends rather than anything else. So pack your staff and visit this beautiful place.

Rocky is the best possible person to take you on a beautiful, memorable adventure on the Costa Rican sea. He and his adorable pup, Havoc, will keep you well fed, hydrated, and entertained all day long for an unbeatable price. I highly recommend you take advantage of this experience. It was the highlight of our trip!

In local dives and in Catalina islands we saw Nurse shark and white-tip reef sharks almost in every dive. In the summer in Bat island you can also see Bull sharks.

What are the chances of seeing manta rays I early July (snorkeling)? I am scuba certified but the rest of my family is not, so snorkeling may be easier
Written February 25, 2019
I could not answer that for July, We were just there and did not see any Manta's but saw many sting rays, eagle rays and devil rays. Suggest emailing the dive shop and asking them
Written February 25, 2019
Do you have to have scuba training before considering this excursion? It’s something I’ve always wanted to try. I’ll be there end of March and would love to experience this!
Written January 10, 2019
You could email him and ask. I would recommend getting certified before you go.

Hi, is it possible to see manta rays whilst snorkelling in the area? Sorry if it sounds a stupid question!
Written October 7, 2018
Definitely. The best chance to see Manta Rays is to go to Catalina Island. Thanks for asking.
