For all those who love the ocean and new, unique and extreme experiences, diving is one of the best activities they can do. Nothing compares to the feeling in your stomach before diving into the depths of the sea to discover its mysteries. However, there is one factor that can be decisive regarding the quality of your experience: the instructor or dive guide. The dive guide is the person who will accompany you at all times while you dive and will be in charge of DOING EVERYTHING SO that you have a memorable and safe experience.
Like any risky sport and activity, diving requires certified and trained personnel who can teach you the proper ways and techniques so that you can enjoy your dive to the fullest.

Characteristics of a good dive guide:
1. He is farsighted and cautious
It has everything in place to ensure that you can enjoy a fun and satisfying diving experience, as well as being safe. That is why it anticipates the situations that they may face before, during and after entering the sea. This of course contemplates the necessary equipment for your activity.
2. He is attentive to your expectations
Whether you're diving for the first time, or a more experienced diver, there are always expectations about what you want to see and do while you're underwater, whether it's taking a photo or finding a specific marine animal. A good guide listens and will do their best to meet your expectations, whenever possible.
3. It is decisive
We are talking about the sea, a completely unpredictable scenario, from one moment to another the circumstances can change, and a bad decision can ruin the whole day. That is why a good dive guide is someone capable of solving problems, looking for alternatives and proposing them so that the group has fun and has a rewarding day.
4. He is knowledgeable about the environment.
It is essential that the dive guide knows the place where the dives will take place. Knowing the place perfectly allows him to show you the places where marine animals move, and the most spectacular views. That also knows how to keep the group safe even if the currents change or visibility is affected.
