Thanks Alex for an unforgettable dive experience !!! - My girlfriend and I did a discovery dive with Alex Bazan who works out of Scuba Dive Shop #7 at the Chankanaab Park. A discovery dive is a controlled scuba dive in about 25 ft of water with an experienced diver right there by your side. It’s for inexperienced folks who want to experience what scuba diving is like in a safe environment.
What an AWESOME experience and Alex was so AMAZING and took such good care of us. From making sure all of our equipment fit properly; to making sure we knew how to use it. He explained things so clearly and was so easy to understand. Once in the water he made us feel so comfortable and at ease. He led us all over the park. We saw lobsters, eels, lots of colorful fish. He even took us through a small cave which was INCREDIBLE; and took pictures of us as we posed next to some underwater statues. I was blown away by the experience and highly recommend this experience to all non-divers or beginner divers. My girlfriend and I loved it. In fact, she now wants to get certified,
And, definitely ask for Alex. He made the whole experience from beginning to end an unforgettable experience and one we’ll remember for a lifetime. Thanks Alex!!!

Angel was the best guide.... - Angel was the best guide. This was my first time diving, I was having insane anxiety and had a bit of a panic attack first getting in the water. But he was able to immediately calm my anxiety and help me get comfortable with being under water and breathing through the regulator. He walked me through everything again and went at my pace. He was a god send. Without him I would not have been able to dive. Thank you friend. Couldn’t recommend him and his team anymore.

10/10 full breakdown, for beginners - 10/10 great for beginners. Never went scuba diving before this and the guides Juan, Angel, and I *think* William (introductions were brief) were soooo kind and helpful. Very thorough instructions and it was a great tour. We booked through trip advisor and we went on a Carnival Cruise in March/April. The water was perfect temperature. There is a 15$ for 2x people taxi service or an hour walk on a footpath to the Chankannab resort. At the resort there is a Mayan nature walk with replicas of statues, houses and a sea lion show included in the park and a beautiful lagoon. Beach areas to swim and beach chairs with umbrellas to use for free as well. Snorkeling gear can even be borrowed for free after the scuba tour and you get a free drink after the dive. The two underwater statues we saw were very cool and one of the tour guides had an underwater camera that took great photos. You CAN bring your own camera too as a few of our fellow tour guests brought theirs. Overall it was great and sparked a newfound love of scuba and my husband and I are going to try and get certified so we can continue scuba diving. I'd say the whole underwater time was about 45-50 minutes since the instructions were so thorough but that was a good thing. There were **tiny** thimble jelly fish that did leave one or two very minor itchy stings on my arm and leg that went away very quickly but reading online I found it's normal after storms and normal around this time of year for there to be some tiny jellies. Wetsuit would avoided this completely but not necessary since
the irritation was so minor. For the price and being a beginner it was fantastic!

Nice refresher scuba dive - This is a great option if you are new to scuba diving or if it's been a while. We saw lots of fish and other sea creatures. They also provide snorkeling equipment, chairs, a locker, drink and access to the beach. Our guide, Angel, was really awesome and helped my wife feel comfortable. The photographer was great and the prices were reasonable. You just need to be prepared to get to the Chankanaab location. We took a taxi from the port and it cost $10 pp each way. We would definitely recommend this excursion.

Awesome experience - We had an awesome experience here! I have been scuba diving before, however my girlfriend hasn’t and was nervous. Luis was able to teach her how to safely scuba and make her feel comfortable. Thanks for everything guys!

Love this place - The cruise ship came in late and they were still able to take us. Had a blast with my family. They were great with my kids. I loved hanging out afterwards at the location.

We saw a spotted moray... - We saw a spotted moray eel, 4 barracudas, red snapper, spiny lobsters and spotted rays and tons of colorful fish. At the end of our dive was a AWESOME swim through cave. Overall it was a fun easy dive! Great way to get into scuba or get back into it after a year or so. Drop my review 1 star because the bc’s inflator button kept sticking, making me ascend several rums. However, the dive master was right there with extra weights.
