To Our Local Divers. Same shop. Same community. More to come.
Pacific Scuba Divers has new owners. If you've been diving with us, we want you to hear it from us directly, and we want you to know what's changing and what isn't.
You may know us as Pacific Paradise Divers. Same shop, same boat, same dives. New owners.
Thank you, Enrique and Nuria.
Enrique Alvarez and Nuria Salinas built this shop and this community. Every certification, every trip to Ilopango and Los Cóbanos, and every group trip abroad started with them. We're grateful for what they built and we don't take it lightly.
“We are excited for the next chapter in our lives and for the next chapter of Pacific Scuba Divers. We leave you in good (and safe) hands and look forward to diving with you all again soon, both here and in Utila and beyond.”
Nuria and Enrique
What stays the same
- The shop, at 3a Calle Poniente in San Salvador.
- PADI training, gear rental and equipment sales.
- Fun dives at Lago de Ilopango.
- Reef and wreck diving at Los Cóbanos during the dry season.
- Group dive trips with the community.
A partnership.
We're Walter Martinez and Joseph Templeton. Walter grew up in San Salvador and has spent 20 years diving and teaching here. Joseph has been diving for 32 years. We're not here to change what Nuria and Enrique built, just to build on it.
We want to hear from you.
You know this shop better than we do. Tell us what you love, what you'd change and where you want to dive next. Come by the shop, message us on WhatsApp at [number], or join us on the next dive.
See you in the water. Joseph and Walter
