Born in 1970 in France, Stephane learnt to dive in Lake Annecy. A few years later, in his 20s, he received his PADI certification as a professional diving instructor and began travelling. During the years he has tought in the Caribbean, the Dominican Republic and Mexico. In 2000, he moved to Sayulita, where the business is now based.

Originaly from Italy, Roberta moved to Mexico in 2009. Here she joined forces with Stephane to create what is now Sayulita Entourage. She is the first contact with Sayulita Entourage, the one dealing with reservations and customer support. "La Patrona" as the boys like to call her, is also a certified guide for Marietas Islands National Park and a recreational diver.

The man behind the scenes, Oscar, sets up the bases for all of us to work smoothly. In charge of the equipment maintenance, he also takes care of the diving tanks filling station. Oscar is also the one driving our guests from Sayulita to the boat in Punta de Mita everyday, the first smiling face you will see when checking in at Sayulita Entourage office.

Born and raised in Mexico, Christian learnt diving in the water of the Banderas Bay. His deep connection with the area and love for the ocean, keep him busy in different local projects aiming to raise awareness and help in the conservation of our beautiful Banderas Bay.

His extensive knowledge of the area, his enthusiasm and love for his profession makes Franco one of the best dive guides you could find around.

Born and raised in Punta de Mita, Edgar has been with Sayulita Entourage for many years. His experience as boat captain is extensive and comes with the deeper knowledge of the Bay and its waters. He has the biggest smile you will see during your Mexican vacations!

Everyone around calls him Palma so do we! Like Edgar, Palma was born in the area and has been working in the ocean since young age.

Jose, aka Picudo, has become a constant presence in our daily operations; a skilled and experienced boat captain, he and Carlos are the hosts on board of our sister boat "Orion".

Growing busier and busier everyday, at Entourage we can rely on their expertise, when a second boat is necessary to run our excursions and accommodate all our guests.
