Your instructors
We met in France and took their first breath underwater together in 2003. In 2015, they gave up everything to make diving their life. After the Mediterranean, Caribbean, Pacific and Indian Ocean, they fell in love with the Sea of Cortez in 2021 — Jacques Cousteau called it "the world's aquarium."
What our guests say
Gael organized our whole holiday, from Cabo Pulmo to La Ventana, La Paz and Magdalena Bay. We had a blast and definitely recommend working with Dive With Us to plan your next vacation.
Two dives with Gael in a small group, and I enjoyed it a lot. Easy planning over WhatsApp, great knowledge of the region, and a program adjusted to avoid large groups. The beach lunch was delicious. I'd go again.
Warm and friendly service throughout the trips.
An incredible experience! Six beautiful dive sites, safety and customer experience clearly a top priority, a very comfortable boat and a nice lunch. Carolina was an awesome guide who led us through cool wrecks and near very cute sea lions.
Words cannot describe the outstanding experience I had with Carolina and Gael. Five days in a row of snorkeling and diving, with amazing marine life every day. They were both so professional and accommodating. I'm definitely planning a return trip.
Diving with Gael was the best decision we could have made. Four amazing days with him and his crew, and I already want to come back. The service is out of this world, with nothing to worry about. A 100% recommendation.
Carolina was my dive master: friendly, professional and experienced. Groups were tiny, one or two people at most, so it felt truly personal. Communication over WhatsApp was clear and easy. I definitely recommend Carolina and Gael.
My daughter and I dove three days with Dive With Us and had the most amazing experience. Carolina is a very strong diver and guide, and so much fun to be on a boat with. From sea lions to shipwrecks and thousands of fish, the six dives were the best six consecutive dives we've ever done.
Gael is sincerely passionate, patient, funny and reassuring. It was our first dive experience, and he explained everything, twice if needed, so we could dive with confidence. He respects everyone's pace. Special mention to Captain Andrés, always ready to help!
Great experience with Gael over these two days of diving. A true passionate! Very good training in a really pleasant atmosphere. I recommend 100%.
They took us to see some cool sea lions. Diving with them made my birthday one of the best.
A fantastic experience diving with Gael and his crew! He went above and beyond to make my son's birthday truly special, took care of all our gear, and even helped with dinner, transportation and things to do around La Paz. We're already looking forward to the sardine run next year.
I would not dive with anybody else. It was my first dive trip alone, and Gael made me feel completely safe and comfortable. Groups were very small to ensure safety, and it's absolutely worth the extra money. You never worry about being left behind.
I've dived in 5+ countries and this was one of the best experiences yet. Gael, owner and dive guide, did great with everything from communication to caring about the client experience. 10/10.
Without a doubt a great instructor: Gael is super patient and makes you feel calm and safe. Thank you for helping me see the beauty of the sea. I'm ready to keep going with my courses and keep living the wonders of the sea and the sharks.
I did the Open Water course and had a great time with Gael and the whole group of instructors. They explain really well, take their time, and we dove at wonderful places, including a sunken ship.
A super experience! Gael is super attentive and professional, and will make your experience the best possible. 10/10.
Fantastic experience with the best team. We did 4 dives with Gael, and I've never gone down with an instructor like him, so dedicated to making your experience unique. If I come back to the area, I'll dive with him again. You come for a dive and leave with a friend.
Their ability to make a family of 5 who had never scuba dived feel comfortable and love the experience underwater sets them apart from any other diving operation I've experienced. They have a passion evident from the minute you step on the boat. Don't dive with anyone else!
Carolina was a fantastic dive master. It was our anniversary and Carolina made a special sign for us to get an underwater photo. The Swanee reef was amazing with thousands of fish and very healthy coral. Highly recommend!
One of our most beautiful diving holidays thanks to Gael & Dive With Us! Diving with mobulas, hammerhead sharks, sea lions, turtles... an extraordinary life! Received as Kings. TO DISCOVER with DIVE WITH US!
No better operator than Dive with Us! The Mexican sardine run has been on my list for years. Gael and Carolina always put safety first. They have so many return clients they get to know each one individually.
Gael was extremely patient and protective at all times. He has a solution for everything and teaches a lot of tips and tricks. The dives were fun, not just practice of skills. I was treated like a friend and felt totally safe.
The best Open Water certification I could have hoped for. Excellent service and instructor. With Gael you feel careful, seen and safe — unlike others where you feel like just another number. We consider ourselves lucky.
One of the best days of our trip thanks to Gael! The excursion to see the sea lions was simply magical. If you're looking for a French-speaking guide, don't hesitate for a second. We recommend with our eyes closed!
