LOVED IT! We will be back!

Great communication, very clear instructions on meeting site and very helpful crew. Safety briefing was clear, very good communication by Miguel on the boat and in the water. Absolutely loved the experience, the information shared by the crew, the care they showed to us and to reefs. They clearly love what they do and we will definitely come back! I would HIGHLY recommend this snorkeling excursion! We loved every second of it! 10 Stars!!

Fun Time

Good snorkeling excursion even for those without prior experience. All needed equipment furnished and explained how to use. Attendants were very concerned about the safety of all participants. Getting to the meeting place required a taxi ride from our RC ship.

10 of 10 Amazing Experience, Instructor and Captain!

My son and his friend had an absolutely amazing experience! Maria and Cookie were above and beyond expert, caring, fun and a great instructor and captain! These two explained everything very clearly and slow enough until the instructions were understood. They pointed out marine, which enhanced their snorkeling experience. I highly recommend this tour to anyone.

This was my brother’s and...

This was my brother’s and my first scuba diving experience, and Diego was very friendly and clear with all the instructions. We struggled a little at first, but he was incredibly patient and helped us feel more comfortable and confident little by little. It was an unforgettable experience, and I would definitely do it again with them!

Fun times and a better deal!

To be clear, we wanted to rank it 4.75 out of 5! This trio was very attentive and kind. There was 14 of us on a catamaran together and this was much better than the larger groups! We were able to see lots of fish and enjoy the boat ride. The snack of ceviche, guacamole, and fruit was superb! Oliver even danced with our group - we thoroughly enjoyed the day. All around, highly recommend.

Overall fun trip, just don't expect the boat in the picture!

At the start of this tour I figured there would be No way I would post anthying but a 1-2 star review, but the crew actually did a nice job of pulling off a decent day on the water, so gonna bump it back to a 4. Biggest issue is the boat. The one on the photo is NOT the boat they took us out on, in fact its nothing close to the boat we went out on. They said nothing at all about it to us, just loaded us up in a much smaller clunker of a boat and off we went. Had they mentioned something or even acknowledged the bait and switch I probably would have not been so upset, but it was a shock at the start. I was looking for both a Snorkel and Sail experience, this boat had a shade of some kind permanently blocking the sail, so basically it was a snorkeling shuttle and not as advertised. Now, gotta add the good parts, the snorkeling was actually very good and the guides were very nice on the water. The deeper spot was great to explore and the star fish area was good as well. Cielo enjoyable and there seemed to be no shortage of beverages and food, so no complaints there. Overall a little better communication or at least acknowledge what you are paying for ahead of time would have gone a long way.

This excursion was...

This excursion was amazing!! The staff was super friendly and helpful. I was new to snorkeling and the guide helped me through the process. They made sure to tell us where to go, what to look for and they took photos of us underwater. There was only 10 people on the boat which made it even better! 10/10 would do this again while in Cozumel.

Nice, short snorkeling trip

I chose this shorter trip so we'd also have time to explore other parts of the city. We were on a cruise and had limited time. It was just my son and I and he was very hesitant to get in the water. The crew did their best to encourage him. He still had a good time on the boat and I enjoyed snorkeling.

I missed in the email to...

We really enjoyed our time on those tour! The max people allowed is 30, but we only had 15, and the majority was my family. We really enjoyed having a small group. The guides were very knowledgeable and great swimmers! We missed in the email to arrive 30 minutes early due to the amount of prep, and getting there early really does help out. It was a great time though !!
