Alex, our captain with the music! Alex was born on the island and started driving boats when he was 6 years old! (At least now he’s tall enough to see over the helm). Alex's boat is "La Flaca", which means “The Skinny” due to its long sleek shape.
​
His favorite thing to see while we are out on the boat are Dolphins, and luckily we see them very often while travelling to our dive sites.
Edwin Melendez

Edwin loves being on boats, and underneath them! Some days you will find Edwin searching for fish and small critters, and some days he will be dropping you off at your favourite dive spots! Edwin's Boat is La Reina - "The Queen".
​
Edwin became a divemaster because he wanted to lead dives and show people his amazing office - the Mesoamerican Reef. You will not be disappointed with Edwin as your Divemaster or Boat Captain.
