Grateful - Having done the Open and doing the Advanced, I am having the opportunity to meet and share with a large part of the pocna staff. The girls in the office are beautiful: Bren, Luchi, Diane, Eve, super loving and available; Manlio attentive and friendly. Fede the instructor of my Open, predisposed to teach, enthusiastic and good-natured (important for learning and building confidence). Javi instructor from the beginning of my Advanced, super respectful, correct and cautious. Dami, the photographer, takes wonderful photos! Really highly recommended! @damianalmua Mati's technique and enthusiasm make one feel more confident and fun. Ivan super nice and willing. Grateful for the experience and learning!

I got open water certified🌊 - Getting my Open Water license with Pocna was one of the best decisions I could make. My instructor was Luna and the treatment was excellent, very professional as well as personalized. I learned everything I needed to feel capable of diving in open water. All the school staff were very attentive, I must also highlight that there are many cool girls working here which as a female traveler gave me confidence and I felt very safe at all times. The boat captains are very humble and friendly local people, which makes the experience even more rewarding. The equipment is quality. And on the boat the staff provides fruits and water. In my case I did not hire this service but you also have the option of hiring a professional photographer in case you want to document the experience.

Exceptional 5* Star Dive Center - We were referred to Ponca dive center by a friend. We had already completed our elearning/exam and pool training back home. Our 2 day open water certification with our awesome 🤙🏾 dive instructor “Fede”, was exceptional. Fede was calm, composed, and kind. With his vast knowledge, he made sure to take the to time to answer all of our questions. When we went out to the different dive sites,the synergy between the Pocna dive center teammates was very obvious. This made the experience feel very comfortable and secure. We would without a doubt, fully recommend this well organized, well structured, and friendly dive center. Shout out again to “Fede”! 🤙🏽👌🏽 ¡Muchas Gracias! Sharonita & Martino

There for you every step of the way! - 10/10. From the instructors, the staff, the facilities, the equipment, the boat captains and the dives... you really can't get any better. EVERYONE is friendly, accommodating, safe and attentive. I had never been diving before. After the open water course, I feel comfortable underwater and prepared for troubleshooting and safety issues. I even went on a night dive at the end of the week which was another level of intensity, but probably my most favorite experience. Thank you to Denni, Fede, Tito, Genesis and the whole PocNa crew. I'll be back.

Great experience with Lalo - My wife and I completed our open water dive certification on Monday and Tuesday the first week of January, 2023. Our dive instructor, Lalo, was very methodical, wonderfully engaging, and focused on our diving skill development and the proper use and care of all dive equipment. Lalo always emphasized safe diving practices. By day two on our second day of dives we were more comfortable with our equipment and skills such as maintaining neutral buoyancy. Scuba diving can feel a bit intimidating as a completely novel experience for “first timers” but Lalo and the Pocna team helped us feel comfortable and safe. They did not simply check the boxes but made sure we fully understood everything. We also discovered that Lalo is the drummer in a local band at Isla Mujeres and we got to hear his band and dance at a local club the two evenings of our dives.
