Sirius Dive Shop Island

Providencia and San Andrés are about as unspoiled as Caribbean diving gets — warm, clear water, healthy coral, and reefs still busy with life. Sirius Dive Shop Island puts you in the middle of it while keeping the local island culture close at hand. It's a PADI Resort with 4 PADI Instructors on staff, running in English and Spanish.

Courses and diving

New divers can start with the Discover Scuba Diving mini course, while certification seekers work through the PADI Open Water Diver and PADI Advanced Open Water Diver courses over roughly three days each. Already certified? The Half-Day Dive Trip gets you into the water for about four hours around Providencia.

The centre sits waterfront with its own house reef, plus a dive boat, air fills, and a full range of scuba, kids', and freediving equipment rental. On the reefs here you may cross paths with sharks, turtles, ocean fish, rays, and even whales. With an onsite classroom, air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, and parking, it suits everyone from first-timers to divers chasing pristine Caribbean water.
