Best diving with Poc na dive shop ! - This is an excellent dive shop. I’ve had over 150 dives and the dive master Nefi, was first rate and boat captain Jose was also very professional. The Jardines dive was our favorite with abundant marine life, nurse shark, turtles and many other cool sightings. I’ve had over 150 dives and this was right up there in terms of marine life, visibility and beauty.

Such a fun experience and great trainers! - Lydia was our diving instructor and she was AMAZING!! As first time divers, she was very patient with us, explained in great detail, and was very encouraging along the way. Highly recommend her. Our dive was beautiful - seeing the statues and marine life up close is surreal. Definitely worth it!

Down for the Scuba ! - What an amazing experience! I had not been diving for many years and needed a refresher. I was pretty nervous "JAVI" Javier Alvarez my dive instructor, was amazing patient and helped me to feel safe and comfortable. The dive shop and facilities were beautiful. The dive at MUSA was unique and nothing like I had never experienced. Isla Mujeres is now a favorite destination, and I am definitely returning to Pocna Dive Center for dives in the future

1 week of photography dives with Pocna - Dove with the crew at Pocna for a week. Great service from beginning to end-from initial scheduling of the dives to setting up shuttle from Cancun airport to the ferry port. The girls in the front office were a tremendous help! The dives were great-from MUSA to Gunboat C-58 and every dive in between. The guides were great, excellent predive briefings example-if you dont know the name of the boat you are diving on with Tyto as your guide then you werent paying attention, haha! Speaking of the Maruca, hats off to Captain Jose and his mate Lylo! Everyone i dove with from Pocna were great! Night dives are a must!!! Thanks to Tyto, Danni, Bruno, Havi, Jose, Lylo, Jan and the rest of the crew

Best diving experience for novices and experienced divers - Incredible! The guys at Pocna were so lovely, knowledgable and calm. I hadn’t dived for a few years but they made me feel completely at ease. It was an awesome dive to see the museum under water creating a new coral reef.
Bruno, Freddie, juan and nefi were fantastic. Eli and all the team on the desk were accomadating and encouraging. Highly recommended! Thanks guys, I will return for sure ❤️

Beautiful dive with POCNA - Wonderful dive with a great team, Federico is a great instructor and Jesus is really professional. We did a good technical refresh in the pool before going into open water. We saw turtles and rays, the subaquatic museum and the beautiful coral reef with a lot of fishes. I strongly recommend POCNA Dive Center!

Fantastic Dive Shop!!! - I did nine dives over 4 days with PocNa including MUSA, a shipwreck, a night dive, and a few drift dives. Everyone I encountered was so kind, helpful and professional. I felt like safety was a high priority and felt very comfortable as a solo female traveler who needed to be paired with a buddy for my dives. I rented equipment from them and had no problems whatsoever. They also arranged my whale shark snorkeling tour and offered suggestions for cenote diving. I would highly recommend diving with them!
