Not Sure if You’re Ready?

If you’re new to diving and want to test the waters before committing to a full certification, consider our Discover Scuba Diving experience. This one-day introduction offers a taste of scuba diving without the need for a full course, allowing you to decide if diving is right for you.

However, if you’re ready to take the plunge and embrace the full scuba diving experience, we highly recommend enrolling in the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course.

Why settle for a glimpse when you can dive into the full experience?

IMPORTANT TO KNOW

Anyone with asthma, heart or brain conditions, high blood pressure, lung lesions, diabetes, epilepsy, or a history of surgery within the past year must provide a medical clearance signed by a physician specializing in their condition.

Please remember that you should wait 18–24 hours after diving before flying.

What Our Divers Say

Carie Boulanger

Frank and his crew are the best. He truly does care for your safety and not just trying making a buck. He was the best dive master. He went over in detail everything about your equipment and dives. A good review over that stuff never hurts. He even took great photos and gave them to us at no extra cost. We will definitely be using them again when we visit the area next. I get motion sickness easily so I wear a prescription patch for it. He also had dramamine in case I needed it. Being that the waters were a little rough , I decided to take one. Thankful I did because I didn’t get sick while others who never get sick were puking after the dives.

Amazing team of dive instructors, super experienced, safe and fun! Thanks Frank!

Federico Manrupe

El servicio fue excelente!! Hice dos inmersiones con Francisco, en Punta Negra y San Miguel. Estuvieron muy bien las dos. Francisco de 10, siempre atento a cuestiones de seguridad, muy profesional, atento también a la fauna. En cuanto a este último punto, fue excelente, se pudo ver tiburón gato, tortuga, langostas, morena, pez piedra, pez globo, etc. Los recomiendo sin lugar a dudas.

Neville Fletcher

I had a day out with Fran in Cozumel, I can honestly say it was the best diving I have ever had. Fran couldn’t be more helpful and treated it as a training session and gave some valuable advice to us all. Definitely five stars and would recommend without hesitation. Nev from UK
