★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 189 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $119Best value

Beginner scuba in Cancun with PADI one-on-one training, two open-water sessions at MUSA and Manchones Reef, small groups and gear.

“1. They really need to do better with directions because I was provided with three different ones on the app. It is literally behind the restaurant.. that’s all we needed to know. 2. One diving instructor vs nine beginners is not a good ratio. Which leads me to lack of a patience shown. 3. If you don’t speak Spanish good luck! After being basically kick out the ocean, I was stuck on the rock with the captain sea sick with no assistance. 4. Mr. Alex is too curious for me asking a black woman how she washes her hair is so juvenile. Worst Birthday Ever!”

First-time scuba in Cancun with PADI instructors, two underwater sessions at MUSA statues and the MesoAmerican Reef, small groups, simple training.

“This was my very first time scuba diving, and I don’t even know how to swim! I can float and do a simple dog paddle, but that’s about it. At the beginning, I kept feeling like water was getting inside my nose, which scared me a lot because it made me feel like I was drowning. I later realized it was just a sensation — our faces have a lot of sensitive nerves that react to water and pressure — and I had simply forgotten that I was breathing through my mouth, not my nose. Lars was absolutely incredible — his passion for diving truly shows. Thank you for providing…”
