4 Museums in Cancun to Build a Day Around

1.Scuba Diving Under Water Museum and Reef for beginners

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 189 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $119Our pick

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!”
