Beginner scuba in Cancun with pool training, two sea sessions at MUSA and Manchones Reef, PADI instructors, and small groups.

“Unfortunately, my husband and I were late because we had a car accident in the parking lot. My husband and I went to the office to ask to reschedule, but they encouraged us to go on the dive anyways. Our instructors were so kind and helpful, and put us at ease. The dives are listed as only being 30 minutes each, but we dove for about 45 minutes each time. It was an amazing experience! My only 2 complaints are (1) the lack of parking - this tour does not offer pickup so you have to drive or get Lyft/Uber/taxi and (2) there are no snacks or towels offered on…”

Snorkel among 400 sculptures at Cancun’s MUSA and Manchones Reef, with friendly guides, fish, turtles, and clear planning advice.

“Great value for money and an amazing experience all-round. The staff were very professional and I felt I was in good hands the entire time. The boat had both tourists doing snorkelling and those doing the scuba dive activity. It was great to be able to see some of the divers during the activity. The underwater museum was so interesting and I saw lots of fish (including a huge barracuda). We went to the underwater museum and then later we went to a natural coral reef. The staff were great in reiterating the fact that we need to respect the area (no standing or touching the coral/fish). Water was offered…”
