Wonderful first time dives in Mexico’s beautiful reefs. - I booked the Discover Scuba for my stepson and me in the hope that we would see some of the wonderful sea life Mexico has to offer. The whole experience was beyond my expectations. Jorge lead our dives and showed us the true wonders of the deep (well 10m anyway). His knowledge of the area and keen eye under the water allowed for a truly magical experience. As I have dived in the UK and am relatively competent, it allowed Jorge to spend time with my inexperienced stepson to help make his time under the water far more enjoyable. I cannot recommend this experience enough, it is exactly the reason I wanted to learn how to scuba dive in the first place. If you are lucky enough to have Jorge as your dive lead, I guarantee you won’t be disappointed. Thank you ‘Master’ 👏

Great experience with Muni - We did the diving discovery with Muni and it was an incredible experience!!! We felt very comfortable at all times, we saw a lot of wildlife and the treatment was incredible! We don't have time to take the course but we really want to do it with him, it's something we still have to do, thanks Muni for making us have an incredible day 🙌🏻

Unforgettable experience - Fantastic people - Superb instructors - Great fun! - Returned from a brilliant holiday recently where my family and I had the fantastic experience of SCUBA diving with these guys. It was my wife’s and 11 year old daughter’s first time and Dany our instructor was fantastic. Patiently training us in the pool followed by us all jumping off the boat into the crystal clear sea to explore a reef and just enjoying the experience. It was so good in fact that I decided to continue and do the full course to get qualified. Dany and Jorge are superb SCUBA instructors – super knowledgeable, they have excellent teaching styles but importantly make it really fun and interesting. I couldn’t recommend these guys more highly if you just want to just experience a dive in an absolutely beautiful location; or if you want to take it further and become a qualified PADI SCUBA diver. Something memorable to take home from your holiday! Many thanks also to Rodrego in the dive centre office for arranging it all and of course all the guys on the equipment side. I hope to see you all again soon! Muchas gracias amigos!

Muni is amazing - Booked the discovery scuba and what an experiance! When i went to book the dive i got told if it was possible to wait a few days due to windy/choppy weather so i took their advice and im sooooo glad i did!!!
Muni was a brilliant instructor, he took his time to make sure i was comfortable with all the gear and underwater.
I was fortunate to be the only diver under Muni's care while underwater that made it so much better, while under we saw a number of different marine life! Moray eels, lion fish, rays, parot fish, every where i looked a different school of fish appered!
What an amazing trip thank you so much Muni and all the team at scubacaribe, im definatly coming back to get certified!

I would definitely stay again. A must if you want to go diving as a complete beginner. - The course "Discover Scuba Diving" is highly recommended if you want to try diving for the first time.
My Instructor Narada was super calm and patient and explained everything to me in the theory and in the pool. Diving in the reef was just incredible! Would definitely come back!

Unforgettable experience - An unforgettable experience that if you can be worth doing, we have been left wanting to do another dive so do not leave it to the end. Do a practical theoretical course with pool dive and then you do the sea dive where you will see diverse amount of marine life and hopefully a batfish like we saw. Our instructor Jorge highly recommended, explains everything very well and has a lot of experience with new people, reassures her and is very patient, we leave delighted with the experience and eager for more. Jorge if you read this THANK YOU VERY MUCH

Highly recommended - Really great! The staff is really very nice and are always ready to help you. The instructors are clear and of course pay close attention to you while diving. There is nothing to complain about on the diving equipment and the dive locations are breathtaking. The instructors always know how to find special places where you can fully enjoy the marine life. If you are looking for a dive center then this is definitely recommended.
