The Little Dive Shack by the Sea is a dive center located at Derek’s Place Eco-Lodge on Little Corn Island since 2008. Our vision is to offer dives and courses with a more relaxed focus on a real connection with nature. We believe in a simple lifestyle, quality over quantity. We value sustainability and authenticity. And we are grateful to know and share this magical place with divers from all over the world. We invite you to be part of our history, and we hope to see you here very soon.
The team at our diving center is made up of a captain and two instructors. Come and meet the staff members who are the heart of our business. Our team is experienced, knowledgeable, and most importantly, very friendly. Additionally, our instructors can offer diving activities in English, Spanish and German.
As we are a small scale diving operation, all of our diving excursions are with just a few people, in small groups. Avoid crowded boats and dive sites and enjoy the individual attention of an instructor who speaks your language. We also offer private services for small groups of friends to have an exclusive underwater experience.
For us, security and flexibility are very important. We pride ourselves on always offering equipment in good condition, which is why we renew it frequently. If you are looking for a remote, uncrowded, personalized and eco-friendly place to dive on your vacation, this is the place for you. Visit our website, find us on Instagram and get in touch with us.“ Gratitude
