Sayulita Entourage was born many years ago under the name of Sayulita Diving School.

A business originally diving-oriented, led by a single enthusiastic dive instructor, we are now a group of professionals able to offer a wider range of experiences to our clients, a multi-ethnic team of individuals who share the same love and passion for the ocean and our incredible Banderas Bay.

 

With safety always our number one priority, we run our excursions with fully licensed and fully equipped panga boats.

We consider wildlife viewing a tremendously exciting experience best shared among small groups of friends.

If you are looking for a more intimate setting for your trip, rather than a crowded group excursion, or are after a bit more of attention and dedication during your training, we can definitely fulfill all your needs.

 

We are the result of years of experience and expertise, knowledge of our environment and love of wildlife. Come and join us for an exceptional journey in discovering the natural world.

Why should you choose Sayulita Entourage

Great dive trip to Marietas Islands
We had an excellent day diving with Jamie! She was an awesome dive master. Very knowledgeable about the area and the fish we saw. The boat crew were great too! Roberta and Stephan were wonderful with the communication about the trip. The fish taco lunch after the dive was some of the best food we had on our trip! My underwater camera don’t do the fish and coral justice!

Stacy K.

Awesome Diving Experience!
Went with two friends to Sayulita for a quick dive trip. Diving was definitely one of the highlights! Would definitely recommend going with Sayulita Entourage - Jamie was super insightful on the diving spots and made sure everyone felt comfortable given the various diving levels. Can't wait to go back and dive again!

Great experience with PADI certification and snorkeling

We booked a snorkeling trip, a PADI certification, and a diving trip through Entourage, and were impressed with all of our experiences. Stephane and Roberta are incredibly helpful. I took the PADI course with Stephane, and he was a great teacher, even when I was very nervous about our first dive. I highly recommend them!
