Review of Side’s 2-session scuba trip with an underwater museum, lunch, hotel transfer, clear water, and beginner-friendly instruction.

“Ein toller Ausflug mit super Guides! Abholung super Pünktlich! In Side angekommen muss man durch die Stadt runter laufen zu dem tollen Boot! Vor dem Tauchen wurde in sämtlichen Sprachen die Ausrüstung und der Tauchgang erklärt! Jeder Tauchlehrer hat eine Person mit runter genommen zum ersten Test und für Fotos. 15 Minuten Tauchgang. Wenn es Probleme gab oder man Angst bekam waren sie sofort zur Stelle und haben geholfen und waren sehr einfühlsam! Danach gab es Essen und den zweiten Tauchgang. Dieser war tiefer und nur der wollte hat mit gemacht. Bei dem zweiten Tauchgang gibt es keine Fotos was sich aber lohnen würde da es super toll war! Ein…”

3.Scuba diving at MUSA the underwater museum for certified divers

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 102 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $135Top rated

Explore MUSA and Manchones reef from Isla Mujeres on a small-group two-tank scuba trip with equipment, snacks, and expert care.

“The MUSA was fun, but the majority of the dive is to get to the statues and back. I would have loved more time looking into more detail instead of the the journey to there and back. I would also advise to let people know that a dive light would be beneficial on this tour so you can really see all the life dwelling. The dive boat was barely a dive boat, but the instructor cared a lot and if anyone works with Ponca dive center, Danni is truly kind and attentive.”

Review of Cancun’s MUSA and Manchones Reef scuba tour, with small groups, full gear, fees included, practical tips, and honest drawbacks.

“I booked this SCUBA experience a few months ahead of my trip to Cancun. A few days before, I reached out to the company inquiring about transportation, as I was staying at the Catalonia Costa Mujeres and needed a ride to the SCUBA place. They informed me to provide my room number and to be ready at the lobby at 11:20am, and the scuba would start at 12:30pm. I was ready and waiting at 11:20am but the driver did not come until 12:00pm. He picked me up and drove me but we passed the original destination that the Viator listing had said to meet at, so I got worried. At…”

“Safety briefing with Hashmet was great. First five was just to take pictures & lasted about 10 minutes. Then sat on boat for over 3 hours whilst the rest of the group dived. The boat moved to another location for lunch, which was very basic & beware if you take a drink when offered with lunch you will get charged for it at the end of the trip. 2nd dive was hardly a dive at all. depth was less than 3m. No fins. Really just a crawl across the sand in scuba gear to see a couple of star fish & was about 5 minutes in the water. Jumping off…”
