Pro Diver - Escuela Profesional de Buceo

Lake Atitlan, Guatemala

The team at Pro Diver – Escuela Profesional de Buceo are your go-to for diving Lake Atitlán. We really like how they focus on making the most of this unique freshwater environment, something you don't always find. They’re excellent for anyone looking to add high-altitude, cold water diving to their logbook, or even just for those seeking a tranquil, completely different experience from the ocean. If you’ve ever wanted to explore submerged villages or underwater volcanic formations, Pro Diver is who we’d recommend to get you there safely and with a smile. Diving Lake Atitlán with Pro Diver means experiencing a distinct chill, a refreshing change from tropical heat. The water hovers around 18-22°C year-round, so a good wetsuit is essential, and they’ve got you covered. Visibility usually ranges from 5 to 15 metres, often shifting with the winds that whip across the lake – keep an eye out for calm mornings. We've always found their guides fantastic at pointing out the small, often overlooked details, like the hardy freshwater crabs clinging to rocks or the occasional tilapia darting past. It's not about big pelagics here; it's about the novelty, the history, and the quiet satisfaction of diving a place few others have. Their setup is professional, everything runs smoothly, and they just make the whole thing easy.
