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."

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!

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!
