The instructor was very knowledgeable and patient, explaining everything from basic safety precautions, hand signals, breathing technique and mask clearing. I was anxious at first, but the instructor was with us the entire time, from water entry off the boat, descending and coming back up. If you have been wanting to try scuba diving, I highly recommend!

I was instructed by Clement. He gave clear instructions and also helped with the gear and everything. He took nice photos and was also very considerate with everything. I recommend 100% to anyone planning to do the scuba dive.

Featured review

Colin_R

From start to finish, this was a super fun experience! The beginning hour of instruction was in-depth, clear, and fun! The boat rides out/back to/from Isla Mujeres were fun, attentive crew. The dives were great! A lot of fun views with reefs & fish. Our guide gave lots of freedom to move about behind him, regularly checked out status, and pointed our special sights and fish. Diving equipment was decently comfortable, fit well, easy to use, in good condition. Overall, would go on again, would recommend!

our guide was the...

Kate_P, Feb 2026

Our guide was the absolute best! he was so thorough but still efficient with time! He really made sure all of us were safe and and understood what we were doing. I was a bit nervous as it was my first time diving but he was so calm and clear that it made it so easy. We got the add on for him to take photos throughout a they turned out so good! we’ll be cherishing these forever. I highly recommend him and his wife!

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Thank you for your kind recommendation! We’re really glad to hear that your first diving experience felt clear, safe, and well paced. Taking the time to ensure everyone understands and feels comfortable in the water is something we care deeply about. It’s great that you enjoyed the photos as well—those moments underwater are truly special to look back on. We appreciate you sharing your experience with us.

Perfect for beginners

William_L, Jan 2026

This was an amazing course! Teaches you all the basics of scuba diving and then gives you a tour of a museam and an unspoiled reef (reef is way better than the museum). The instructor had an ENORMOUS amount of patience and made sure everyone was safe and enjoyed the dive. Tip: Be prepared to spend about 85 USD for pictures. You don't need to, but trust me it's worth it!

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Thank you for your great review! We’re happy to hear you enjoyed learning the basics and exploring both the underwater museum and the reef. Safety, patience, and making sure everyone has a great time are always our top priorities. We appreciate the tip and your recommendation, and we hope to dive with you again soon!

Book it

Markiss_S, Aug 2025

I can’t thank my guide enough. I’m not the best swimmer and he was very patient and accommodated me so well. It was a great experience. I got sea sick and couldn’t finish the last part but up until that point was amazing

Response from Host, Sep 2025

We’re so glad you had a great time diving with us! 🌊🤿 Big thanks for your kind words about your guide — patience and comfort are always our priority. Sorry to hear about the sea sickness, but we’re happy you still enjoyed the experience up to that point.

Incredibly Awe-Inspiring

alessia_f, Jun 2025

This was the most incredible experience we’ve ever had while on vacation. Clemente & his team were patient, kind, informative, excitable, and made us feel more than confident stepping off the boat and into the water. We are already working on getting our scuba certifications so we can come back later in the year & take another trip with this group. I have recommended this to anybody I’ve encountered. Can’t wait to go back!

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Thank you so much for this amazing review! 🌊🤿 We’re honored to have been part of such a memorable moment on your vacation. Knowing that this experience inspired you to pursue your scuba certification truly means the world to us! Our team is passionate about making every guest feel safe, excited, and confident underwater — and we’re thrilled that came through. We’ll be here waiting with open arms (and full tanks!) for your next adventure later this year. See you back in the water soon! 💙🐠

If you’re in Cancun this is a MUST

Minhal_R, May 2025

Clemente was an excellent instructor, took care of us well especially for first timers and took care of anyone who got sick or unnerved during the process. Definitely a must do, you can atv and zip line anywhere in the world but this was a special experience.

Response from Host, May 2025

Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience! We're so happy to know that your first dive felt safe, supportive, and memorable. We understand that trying something new like scuba diving can feel intimidating, which is why our team is always attentive to every diver's needs—whether it's offering reassurance or assisting those who feel a bit off during the trip. You're absolutely right—while adventures like ATV and ziplining are available in many places, diving in the Caribbean Sea among reefs and marine life is truly one-of-a-kind. We’re honored to have been a part of that special experience for you. Hope to see you underwater again soon!

Best Dive Imaginable!

Dream come true scuba diving experience

Ruth, May 2025

It has been a dream of mine to learn how to scuba dive and I am so grateful I had the opportunity to do so with such a friendly and professional team. Clemente was a fantastic instructor who was extremely knowledgeable and encouraging. Our dive at two different spots was amazing and a dream come true. We saw sea turtles and lobster and all kinds of fish. My partner and I felt completely safe and supported while diving. I cannot recommend this experience enough to first timers and beginners alike!

An amazing experience. The guide was perfect and clear on instructions. He was knowledgeable and made sure you were comfortable with knowing what you were doing the whole time. It was my first time ever scuba diving and I’ll definitely do it again. The reef and underwater statues are unforgettable. Do this excursion!!! Worth every penny.

Best part of our trip🤩

Bruce_B, Jan 2025

This was our favorite part of our trip!! We’ve never done anything scuba-related before, but the teaching was excellent & we felt super comfortable once we were in the water. Pretty reasonably priced all things considered. Wetsuits were $10 for rental, & photos were $70, but great quality! Clemente is the best instructor out there. Knows his stuff & is super kind & fun! All around an excellent experience

Memorable experience

Ruta_V, Apr 2024

I had a memorable experience as Clement (instructor) is very knowledgeable and the most importantly - he loves his job. His attention to detail was noteworthy - it came about whilst I was trying to dive into water a few times unsuccessfully. He noticed very quickly that the problem was technical, and it was not caused by fear of diving. I was impressed how quickly he came up with a solution. Moreover, he was very patient, and he never gave up on me!

Incredible Experience

Larry_W, Mar 2024

We had a great time. Clementine did an incredible job as an instructor. Isabel to guys to the different areas and see different wildlife is great. It was a whole new world.
