Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

- Isabella Sommer17 contributionsamazing floating bar! If you visit the Corn Islands, you need to plan a stop here! You pay 10 USD and get 6 "bit coins" (unfortunately plastic, not real) which you can use to buy drinks. A beer is one bit coin. In between drinks you can jump into the beautiful ocean to cool off!
But attention: another floating bar recently opened just right next to Bit Coin Island Bar, basically copying the idea and trying to take customers from here. If you visit, make sure to visit the ORIGINAL.
To get picked up by boat you can either text them in advance on Instagram, just wave at the beach (the other bar´s boat will probably try to collect you first but make sure you go in the right boat) or ask at the bar at the beach.

It wasn't anything too intense so great for beginners. Would recommend to anyone!Written 21 June 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Daniel V1 contributionMy experience with the Open Water Dive course was very interesting. We discovered a new and different world in the sea. The main instructor and his team were very professional and knew how to prepare the best ‘Rondon’ dish on the island.Written 13 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Krystal8913Montreal, Canada51 contributionsIf you’re on Big Corn Island, I highly recommend renting a paddle board. Joey was very flexible and allowed us to go at sunset. Although it was cloudy, it was still pretty sweet to admire the island from the Caribbean Sea. Joey offers guided and non-guided tours. He’s got a lot of experience so you’ll be in good hands. He also took pictures of us which was a nice touch and great souvenir.Written 2 April 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Two of us had been on many dives prior to this, while two of us were freshly certified. Chema gave special attention to the new divers, helping them with their equipment both on and off the boat. A storm had just been through and the water was still a bit rough, but we were still able to have a good time. The reef is in pretty good shape, but there were not as many fish as other places we have been, possibly because of the recent storm.
The dive shop itself is pretty small and a bit run down, but still very functional. It not in any better or worse repair than anything else on Big Corn Island. We brought our own masks, snorkels, fins, and dive watches. The BCDs and regulators they have to rent are not the latest and greatest, but they are all in working order. It's a short walk from the dive shop to the boat, which is a panga big enough for the dive master, the captain, and about 5 divers and tanks. They hauled all our equipment to and from the boat and rinsed everything for us when we were done.
We had hoped to visit Blowing Rock, but the water was still too rough from the recent storm so we wound up not diving at all the third day and just snorkeling off the north end by Anastacia's which was fairly good.
Bottom line, we're not likely to visit Big Corn Island again just for scuba, but if we do wind up there again we'll probably dive with Nautilus.Written 2 February 2014This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
