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
