Aquanautas Helmduiken in San Andres

Passeio muito louco. Escafandro de 35kg e uma experiência única, pitoresca mas única. O que valeu foi o instrutor , uma pena não me lembrar o nome dele por reconhecimento. Passeio caro , num lugar fraquinho que é o West View e depois o legal são as fotos que ainda vai mais um dinheiro. Em suma , senão quiser muito , repense! A Pamela da recepção também muito legal.

The Aquanautas experience is absolutely incredible — but it’s important to take it at your own pace. The helmet weighs around 32kg, which can feel heavy and slightly claustrophobic at first, and the ear pressure needs to be carefully managed as you descend each step toward the ocean floor. Once you reach the bottom — about 6 meters deep — you're surrounded by a variety of colorful fish, a stingray, and a beautifully designed underwater setting that clearly reflects the care and attention of the team. An outstanding experience, delivered by a truly professional and friendly crew. Highly recommended. A+

All in all it was a nice experience, and very fun. I was a little disappointed in the initial reception. We had a ticket for 9 am, and the people there had no idea we were coming. So we just kind of sat there while they got things together. But the people there were very friendly and pleasant. You get a very basic training video, which is all you need. If you have your own water shoes, bring them, as the selection is a bit thin. You are attended by a guide the entire time. It is essentially an underwater photo shoot and you go from one prop to the next, which is what I expected, so no problem there. The photos arrived the same day electronically. I was a little disappointed with the quality of the photos as we had done a SCUBA tour nearby the day before and the photos are much better. I think they were using an older GoPro that isn't waterproof, so it was in the plastic case. That seems to have increased the light diffusion a bit. But still, everything went as planned after the initial misstep, and I would recommend it. We were probably in the water 20 minutes or a little more in total. And the photo package is reasonably priced. I believe it was 80 thousand pesos if paid in cash (roughly twenty US dollars). They also have the video in multiple languages, so that is not an issue.
