It was a short drive to a peaceful area to take the scuba dive. After our dive where we saw several lovely things. We walked back from the boat to the shop for a short rest time and had pine apple and lime water. It was wonderful. The second dive we saw two lovely turtles it was the reef called the fingers and was a beautiful dive. Then I caught a taxi…”

“I want to start with, I have 47 years diving experience and I am an instructor. The dive is sub-par and expensive.

I would suggest a different operation.”

“The communication was great. We were told when and where to meet and the driver arrived exactly on time. Once we got to the dive shop, our gear was prepared very quickly. Everything was checked to make sure that we were certified and safe, and down to the boat we went. We were taken out for the 2 dives, and it was very enjoyable. My wife and I were the only ones on the excursion that day so we got very personalized service. Everyone on the boat was great. If I return to Acapulco, I will definitely do this again.”

“Amazing experience with Cozumel Adventures! It was my first dive in almost two years so they coordinated so I could go with a private guide my first day and do some skills refreshers before joining the regular 4-person group the next day. Great communication in terms of booking / coordinating the dives, and I felt super safe and supported at all times, including on my first night dive. Saw a ton of wildlife including nurse sharks, eagle rays, and turtles, as well. Would highly recommend to divers of any level looking to dive in Cozumel!”
