Another great dive trip with Pocna Dive Center - This was my fourth time diving with Pocna, and it was another wonderful trip. I brought my wife for an Advanced Open Water course, as well as some friends that wanted to try a Discovery Dive. Vanessa and Yami both helped me make all of the arrangements, and our instructor Ruben and captain Beto made all the dives go flawless. I'm happy to say I now have another 7 dives in the books with Pocna, and I look forward to visiting again. My only complaint last year was the rental gear seemed a little tired. This year we arrived to see the dive shop loaded with all brand new gear! Love Isla Mujeres, and love diving with Pocna!

Truly unreal and memorable. - I’ve been diving for 30 years and my experience with PocNa was by far the most enjoyable to date. The health of the reef has improved so much. But the jewel of the Nile was Ruben. He trained my two sons (aged 12 and 10) for their first ever ocean dives. His enthusiasm, compassion, and ability to inspire responsible diving to respect the marine life was truly amazing. They are now lifelong divers because of him. We can’t wait to come back in 2027 to dive with Ruben and PocNa!
Llevo 30 años buceando y mi experiencia con PocNa ha sido, sin duda, la más placentera hasta la fecha. La salud del arrecife ha mejorado muchísimo. Pero la joya del Nilo fue Rubén. Entrenó a mis dos hijos (de 12 y 10 años) para sus primeras inmersiones en el mar. Su entusiasmo, compasión y capacidad para inspirar el buceo responsable y respetuoso con la vida marina fueron realmente asombrosos. Ahora son buceadores de toda la vida gracias a él. ¡Estamos deseando volver en 2027 para bucear con Rubén y PocNa!

Great experience - Weve been open water divers for many years but don’t dive a lot compared to others. We decided to do a refresh and a Deep Dive theory class in addition to diving on MUSA, a deep dive and a drift dive. Our instruction was very good and the equipment was also good. Denni gave very professional instruction and I felt completely safe with him as a dive master. Additionally the boat captain and crew were helpful and professional

Evening, morning and afternoon dive - We dived with Ruben (morning dive) and Tito (evening dive and afternoon dive) as instructor and that was just top arranged.
From the first contact everything went smoothly: clear explanations, good preparation and everything tightly organized.
Ruben is relaxed, takes his time and radiates peace and confidence — exactly what you want underwater. This makes you feel comfortable quickly and you can really enjoy the dive. Material was in order, guidance professional and the atmosphere pleasant.
In short: no downsides to think of. We would book here again without a doubt and absolutely recommend IDC Pocna.
Thank you on our behalf 🙏👍🏼

Best crew epic experience - From the ease of booking online, paying online and most importantly the very prompt replies for the many emails I wrote working out details for my family. Me and my 2 sons wanted a private boat and asked if my non diver husband could tag along and snorkel while the 3 of us went diving at the national park at Isla. From the time we arrived at the beautiful dive shop and palapa until we checked out, Rueben our dive master and Lalo our snorkeling guide and photographer/video. Both were the best we ever experienced. Equipment was excellent and we were perfectly outfitted. We were treated like royalty. Headed out to 2 reef dives on a beautiful day. It is apparent the Mexican national park take their conservation efforts seriously. Reefs were thriving with great indication of elk horn coral abundant. Ruben is a true professional taking extra care of us at every step. A passionate pro and all around awesome human who loves what he does and led us to giant sea turtle munching away, close up covey of lobsters sword fighting, lion and puffer fish and beautiful corals and reef fish of all types. The sculptures are also majestic. Tony our boat captain was fun and professional. Lalo provided watermelon and delicious cookies in between dives. He is an avid free diver and his photography captured memories for a life time and guided hubby from top. Bonus- Affordable great diving with a beach view from shop and swing bar next door to hang out and grab a celebratory drink and quacamole to end the perfect day.

Fantastic dive shop - Absolutely fantastic week diving with these folks! We saw so much sea life. Our guides (Lalo, Tyto, Denny) were fabulous. The night dive was also very memorable. Highly recommend these folks! Reasonably priced and top-notch!

Two day private dive with Ruben at Pocna Dive - The Pocna office did a great job coordinating our private dives for two days. Even picked us up from the hotel dock. We had Ruben as our instructor helping us gear up and explain the local underwater museum. Our captain Beto was very reliable navigating the surface keeping us safe. It’s a must for certified and non certified divers looking for a fun early morning adventure. My wife is not certified and it was very easy for her to do a 30min intro discovery lesson and we were off to the ocean.

The dives are correct; without being extraordinary ... visibility okay; no exceptional underwater life!
