We had a great time getting certified here! Daniel was an awesome instructor and Alberto helped us to have a safe, amazing experience in the beautiful ocean! 💯 would recommend this dive shop to any new and experienced divers!
What an awesome experience! This was my first time scuba diving, so I was a little nervous before we started. Alberto guided me through basic training, and we practiced in the shallow water first before the actual dive. The dives were amazing, what an eye opening experience. Will definitely come back if visiting Cancun again!!! Alberto and Daniel are amazing people. They won’t try to scam you like other shops!
It was my first time diving with my partner and friends, and I absolutely loved it! The instructor Daniel and his coworkers were very patient, professional, and explained everything clearly. We received a thorough safety briefing, and I felt completely safe the entire time. Each of us received personal attention, which made the experience even more enjoyable. We also got amazing photos from the dive, which was such a fun bonus! I got to see the ocean floor in all its beauty — truly unforgettable! Highly recommend, and I’ll definitely come back again!
I recently had the pleasure of diving with Alberto and Daniel, and I can honestly say it was a truly amazing experience! Right from the start, the communication via WhatsApp with Scubadiving Cancun was excellent, setting a positive tone for our adventure. This dive was particularly special as it was my partner's and my 14-year-old son's first time, and I couldn't have asked for better trainers. Alberto and Daniel were not only incredibly knowledgeable, but they also brought humor and reassurance to the whole experience, making it memorable for all of us. Their enthusiasm for diving was contagious, and their professionalism shone through every step of the way. The dives themselves were nothing short of breathtaking. We encountered magnificent sea turtles, three sharks, and graceful stingrays, all while exploring a vibrant coral reef teeming with life. The sights were magical, and it felt like we were in a dream. What impressed me even more was the competitive pricing; it was better than most local competitors, making this adventure not just unforgettable but also a fantastic value. Thank you, Alberto and Daniel, for making our first diving experience so special. When we visit Cancun again we will definitely dive with you again!
First time scuba diving and I'm glad my partner and I chose this team. At first we went with the "Discover Scuba" package. With great guidance and clear instructions and directives during the confined water training, the two dives were smooth, enjoyable and memorable. My partner and I went several times after that and I even ended up getting further training to complete my open water diver certification with this team! The rich marine life in the Cancun area makes it 100% worth going diving. Some animals we've seen include stingrays, eagle rays, huge puffer fish, groupers, barracuda, moray eels, lobsters, baby sun fish, crabs and many schools of fish. I highly recommend this team if you're interested in going diving for the first time, or want to do a diving certification, or even as an advanced diver, just want to be brought to the best diving spots in the Cancun area. Special thanks to Daniel who was our guide for all our dives and also trained me for the certification. He'll make sure you are safe and comfortable underwater so you can make the best out of your dive.
