THE FACILITY

The dive shop in the heart of Sayulita

A few minute walk from the Sayulita plaza, our dive center is easy accessible from every side of town.

Free parking is available on the streets around the shop and for the early arrivals, a cute little cafe and a french bakery are located just at the opposite corner.

The Sayulita shop is the heart of our operations, here it’s where you can stop by for information, where we meet our guests for our daily excursions and where we store our equipment.

OUR BOAT

A safe and easy way to move around the bay

Panga boats are the most commonly used in the area to run diving operations and the most suitable vessels to navigate our waters.

We carry our operations on fully equipped pangas with capacity ranging between 8 to 12 passengers plus 2 crew members, making our trips great for small groups. With new 150 HP Yamaha engines, our boats can safely navigate and access all our destinations.

Fully equipped for diving, with roof, ladder, cooler and floatation jackets on board to ensure a pleasant and safe journey at all times.

Amazing expierence!

I did my PADI open water certification with Sayulita Entourage and had a great experience. I did my pool and open water training with Jamie, who is AMAZING. Probably one of the best teachers I've ever had in my life. She is so patient and really wanted to make sure I was comfortable with everything. Definitely went above and beyond and I am so appreciative. The entire team is great and we also saw whales from the boat which was a sweet and unexpected.

Velma C.

The scuba company to go with!

Wonderful experience and value. They made a couple extra stops to make are we saw everything important in the area. They couldn’t have been more helpful in facilitating transport, equipment and recommendations for other things in the area. Jamie was awesome, and Stephan was very accommodating and funny. I spent a while deciding which scuba company to use, and would tell anyone in the same boat to stop looking, and book with Entourages!

Kevin D.

Great Diving team!

The team was extremely friendly and helpful, which made the experience easy and a lot of fun! As we were on our way to the Marietas, we were able to see many humpback whales with their babies playing around near us. The dives were great: tons of tropical fish and we could even hear the whales singing! Afterwards, we took a peak of the island before heading back home. Would really recommend this experience. I’m sure Jayme and Manuel will make sure you fell great!
