Go ahead and book this!! You will not regret it!!!! - I 10/10 recommend diving with this company! I have never dived before, always talked about it with my dad. The staff was very very friendly and helpful! They made sure we asked all the questions we wanted to. They let us practice in shallow water, which was a little more difficult than the actual diving. We went about 38 feet deep I believe and it was the perfect length of time for beginners! Thank you!!!! I will be back for sure!!!!!

Amazing - I had the BEST experience taking the Intro to Scuba class! From start to finish, the instructors made me feel comfortable, safe, and excited to try something totally new. They explained everything clearly, answered all my questions with patience, and kept the class fun and engaging. Once we got in the water, I was blown away by how easy they made the process feel. I went from being a little nervous to feeling completely confident and just enjoying the underwater world. This was such an unforgettable experience, and now I can’t wait to continue my scuba journey. Highly recommend this place to anyone—even if you’ve never tried scuba before!

So incredible!! - My boyfriend and I booked this for our time at Costa Maya while on a carnival cruise. We both had zero scuba experience going into it, and felt very safe and well equipped after the class. Our guide/instructor sebastian was amazing!! He was so good at explaining and demonstrating the techniques. We were very happy with the group size, it was only us and one other person. We were accompanied by sebastian and a dive master who both made us feel really safe while at the coral reef. I got quite nervous when we started the dive and took several attempts to make it more than a few feet under. But sebastian was very patient and coached me while the other descended with the dive master (I can’t remember her name but she was really great too). After a few minutes of coaching and encouragement I was able to make it to the bottom and I absolutely loved exploring the reef upclose. A few logistics things for anyone coming from the Costa Maya port: It is $5/person for the taxi so bring cash. This booking is in local time so keep that in mind. We were in no rush getting to the excursion or back to the boat and it worked out great. It was an experience like to no other and we highly recommend.

Great place to hang out whether you are driving or not - Sebastian was amazing as our guide! We were in extreme rough, waters with first time divers, and it went off without a hitch. Also located at a great location with many many restaurants and vendors.. even if you don’t dive, it’s a great place to hang out all day!
