We'll repeat

We took our first trip with Scuba Finders and everything went perfectly, no complaints at all. The destination was Rasdhoo, Maldives. The airline changed our flight and we were able to modify it to improve the travel times. The dive centre — very, very satisfied: they adjusted the dives to our level, we were at most 4 people per instructor and sometimes (most of the time, it was just the two of us). The accommodation was fine, close to the dive centre (door to door) and very close to the harbour. If there's one change we would make, it would be to spread the dives over more than one atoll. There were 15 dives and by the end we almost knew every reef we visited, but perfect — for us, since what we wanted was to gain experience, we are more than satisfied. We will definitely repeat

100% recommended

I was supposed to go to Fuvahmulah but due to the Iran conflict the flights were cancelled. The Scubafinders team responded quickly and were available at all times both by email and phone, making the process very easy. They have already processed my refund and I'm really looking forward to being able to take a trip with them, as they have proven to be very professional despite all the external problems that have arisen.

Incredible experience.

Incredible experience. Fast and transparent management with Scuba at all times. We had the bad luck of the war and they gave us security at all times (peace of mind with a 100% refund). They provide you with the documents to fly, insurance, etc. They work in Fuvahmulah with an amazing diving company, super professional, with very direct and fluid contact with them. Great hotel (food, comforts, cleanliness…), top airlines (Etihad). We contacted them about a diving accident, they responded on a Saturday, with full availability. Honestly, for the price they have and the quality of service, it's impossible to find another company like this, even cheaper than if you try to do it on your own (they really pass on their advantages in costs). Take advantage of the staff they have (especially Jorge), and give them a vote of confidence. 100% recommended.

The best agency!

They don't deserve 4 stars, they deserve a constellation! We travelled to Fuvahmulah, the communication was perfect at all times, the attention on the island and at the hotel was exceptional, and the treatment from the dive guides couldn't be better. I celebrated my 60th birthday with them and I will celebrate many more. Grateful for all the constant attention, from the trip preparations until the return home. Thank you so much!

I'm delighted with Scuba Finders.

I'm delighted with Scuba Finders. I have travelled with other companies and I can clearly say I won't change again. All the diving I do from now on will be with them. They are close, serious, professional and I also want to highlight that Jorge has been lovely and always attentive to any need I have had, before, during and after the trip.

The best thing about travelling to such a… GODFORSAKEN place

The best thing about travelling to such a remote place with Scuba Finders has been the peace of mind. The peace of mind of having everything organized, of having every single question you have answered immediately (and there are quite a few, and they come up at any moment). In my case the whole trip went perfectly well, the island they took us to was beautiful, the hotel was great and so was the dive centre they work with. Thank you, I will definitely choose you again

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Impeccable organization before and after the trip

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent experience with Scuba Finders. The trip was perfectly organized in every aspect, with great attention to every detail. I was lucky enough to share it with my father and a friend, and everything worked flawlessly, allowing us to enjoy the experience to the fullest without any worries. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a well-organized, high-quality diving trip. I will definitely choose them again for my next adventure.

Good diving travel agency

My trip was cancelled due to the war in Iran and the closure of airspace. The guys at scubafinders were very nice, accessible for communication, and they refunded me the entire trip. It's a quality and responsible company. I will travel with them again.

Failed trip due to the war

Unfortunately due to the war in Iran our trip to the Maldives that we had booked with Scuba Finders was ruined. During the preparation of the trip they were super attentive and available for any query. Two days before the flight to the Maldives was due to depart the war started, we got in touch and as soon as the flight cancellation was confirmed, they said they would take charge of the full refund of the trip price. Within the stated timeframe they refunded the money and called us to let us know. It was my first diving trip with them and the truth is they give a lot of security when we've had problems. We didn't have to worry about anything and they handled everything to refund the money. Highly recommended and I'm sure that for the next trip I take I will go to them.

Highly recommended

Super accessible, they do everything possible to adapt to your preferences. Good catalog of diving trips and good advice. Furthermore, we had to cancel our last trip due to the recent political situation in Iran and they made changes and refunds as easy as possible. Highly recommended!

We went on a diving trip to Malta

We went on a diving trip to Malta and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Scuba Finders has everything very well organized, and everything went smoothly. The Malta trip was very complete and all the dives were excellent. We’ll definitely travel with them to other destinations, as they’ve given us a lot of confidence. A special mention to Gonzalo, who was attentive at all times and made sure everything went perfectly. See you on the next one 😉

Very happy

We’ve just returned from Malta and everything went really well. From the communication and support before the trip, to the travel documentation package—including a backpack—and all the logistics in Malta, everything was excellent. The dives are outstanding for wreck enthusiasts, and the Scuba Malta team was top-notch. We’ll definitely be back.

Highly recommendable

It was my first trip with Scuba Finders and I will definitely repeat. They looked after me from the very first moment with kindness and clarity, the trip went exactly as they explained to me, and they also kept an eye out in case any issue came up. I have saved them as my favourite company.
