Great reefs and an amazing team! - Overall amazing experience. The reefs were great, especially the second one where there was a really good mix of fish. We saw a really big baracuda, puffer fish, amd sting ray. The water was clear, and tons of reef life.
The guides were also excellent. And i mean excellent. They went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience. My 11 year old was scared and didn't want to go. She sat out the first stop. They were so kind and told her that she should go on the next one, talked up all the fish and said the guide in the water would have her on the life preserver and pull her around so she didn't have to worry about swimming. She didnt feel pressured or judged and went on the last 2 reefs. They also offer photos, which we got. Something happened with my email address and the photographer drove down the road to find us as we made our way home. So thoughtful and kind. I highly recommend!

Great snorkel trip for cruisers - Excellent excursion! We booked this at the last minute when our cruise line cancelled our original booking. Arturo communicated with us via app and check in was easy. Quick walk to to the dock and we were off to snorkel at 3 awesome spots! Crew was fun and it was nice that it was a small group so things went smooth and we saw lots of fish. Highly recommend!!

Snorkeling in Cozumel - The meeting point was a short walk from the port. Miguel and Santiago took us to three different places to snorkel. Would definitely do again!

Safe, peaceful snorkeling experience! - I snorkel fairly often and wanted an experience that wasn't crowded and where the main focus wasn't drinking. I was very happy with this excursion which was exactly what I was looking for. It was easy to find the meeting point and everyone connected with this company was friendly and helpful. The boat was great-easy to get on and off and I didn't feel like I was with a bunch of other groups trying to find which boat was mine. It was my first snorkel after a knee replacement and they were very helpful. It felt safe and peaceful with plenty of time in the water. I would recommend it and would use this company again!

Awesome snorkeling for cruise excursion option - Great tour with wonderful guides who were in the water with you. They kept an eye on you and kept our group together. All three snorkeling spots were amazing! We even saw a sea turtle! The boat crew offered us cold water & a cold beer, after we finished snorkeling.

Great Experience! - The tour was a great experience. Our tour guide was informative and funny. They took us to three different reef locations. We saw lots of small but colorful fish and one large stingray. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip and would recommend to friends.

Disorganized and disappointing - This was a disappointing experience. I tried texting the tour operator directly on the day of the tour. But the the platform wouldn’t let me so we followed the instructions about getting to the meeting place. Despite being 40 minutes early at the meeting spot, they did not call out our names and almost left without us. Bizarre. The boat driver, Miguel, is clearly motivated by tips. They also spend far too much time trying to upsell you on underwater pictures. They were relentless. It made it really difficult to focus on the fish and snorkeling. Then at the end of the tour, Miguel bullied everyone to tip him, emphasizing that coins were not acceptable (as they would not fit in his coin bottle). Overall, I would not recommend this operation. Ultimately , you get what you pay for. Pay a little more and avoid being disappointed.

Disappointed! Regular boat, NOT glass bottom! - Very disappointed! This is NOT a glass bottom boat! There’s a small glass window behind a few central seats that you have to be right beside to see down through the window and you can’t see much.
