Highlights
  • Mahahual - In the PADI DSD, we go thru theory (physiology of diving & SCUBA unit overview) before the basic skills training in confined water (water shallow enough to stand up). Then a 10 minutes boat trip to a beautiful spot of our coral garden follows for a dive under the care of a PADI dive instructor. Max depth will be 40 feet, as safety standards require. The descent (bottom starts at 25 feet) is along the mooring line to make things smoother. Dive time depends on the participant’s air consumption; the average time is 43 minutes.

  • Use of SCUBA equipment

First class operation - First class operator. The weather was questionable for a first dive experience and they allowed us to cancel. Would definitely book with them again.

Amazing Experience - What an amazing experience…..especially for inexperienced divers. David and Brenda were phenomenal and made us feel comfortable the entire time. We had an on-shore class, then went into waste deep waters to practice, then went out to the dive site. We were under for about 45 minutes and saw beautiful fish, coral, rays, and morel eels. The weather was partly sunny but the water below was crystal clear. Highly recommended for anyone who isn’t certified! (They also had dives for certified divers and snorkeling trips too) I can’t say enough about these amazing folks!!!!!

Beautiful reef, safe and informative instructor - Amazing experience - patient and safe. Great for beginner or a refresher. Beautiful reef in wonderful condition. My husband was not certified and I am but it has been a few years so wanted a refresher. She was able to both guide and teach him while pointing out interesting sea life to me.

Experienced team who will look after you. - We did the discover diving course as we had never been diving before, the team really looked after us and felt it was really worth the money. I'm very happy I tried it for the first time here with patient trainers. Me and my boyfriend went, and a family of three who had diving experience. Me and my boyfriend did panic and needed a break/extra support and they listened and took us down separately so we could learn in a pressure free environment. We did manage to get down to the sea bed which we were really happy with. We only saw a few fish but that's only because we spent almost the entire time just learning how to use the equipment and go down comfortably (it did take us longer as we got scared a few times), but the family with us saw manta rays and loads of fish etc and also seemed to have a wonderful time. If I was ever back in Mexico I would definitely use this company and highly recommend them. It was my birthday and they gave us complementary GoPro photos which was nice of them :) thanks guys. The discover course was 3 hours, an hour dive and the rest of the time learning in the center and practicing in the shallows before going out in the boat.

Great team!!! From 10!! - 100% recommended experience! In my case I started with a first taste of diving and I did not hesitate to go one step further and do the open water diver course with them, since they made me feel very comfortable and safe at all times both in and out of the water. I was already going with references about their work and professionalism, but the great team they form is very top! A PADI certification in style, varied dives, clear explanations, they adapt to you, without rushing, a relaxed atmosphere and a good Caribbean dive but with seriousness when necessary. The diving places are a spectacle for the senses and they know how to make the most of it. Without a doubt I would love to continue knowing the depths of his hand :)

Wonderful scuba experience! - Gala and Brenda were great! Gala spent some good time with instruction, then equally with the first round in shallow water. This was only our 2nd time and I struggled my first time, so she ensured this experience would be great and it was. We saw a stingray, lobsters in a hidden cave and other fish. Pineapple pieces after was an Nice way to end our excursion.
