Coconut Scuba - If you are a first time scuba diver,…read moreuncertified as myself, and looking for an unreal and unique experience - this is perfect! My friend and I bought a discovery tour that included : - 1 lesson in the pool - 1 dive at the museum (Isla Mujeres) - 1 dive at the coral reef (Isla Mujeres) - boat ride (to the spots, but still nice) The instructors are so incredibly patient and kind! Personally, I had Manuel and Ulysses and they were personable, thoughtful, funny, and easy to understand. My friend and I felt extremely lucky to have such guidance in a first time experience! The layout of the day definitely took longer than we thought. The day started at 10, but they needed to drive us down to the new location. After our lesson, we actually waited an hour for a the certified divers to arrive so that we could all leave on the boat together. That did not bother myself and my friend, we just took a nap in the sun! But for anyone trying to have set plans afterwards, be mindful that you won't arrive back to port until 5:30/6pm. My friend and I were STARVING afterwards, having eaten light to help with nausea that can come with diving. I would recommend bringing a snack for AFTER your final dive, but eat fruit or granola and yogurt beforehand. The museum was actually prettier than I thought! I had believed that the museum was somewhat of a waste, but it was beautiful due to the wildlife that has taken root among the statues. I had never scuba dove, but had snorkeled and done snuba. If you have done these activities - you will feel right at home ! My friend had done none of these and caught on super quickly as well! The reef was spectacular. We saw many bright fish including the parrotfish! Yellow, blue, reds and orange, and even a small pufferfish. We saw a turtle once we got back onto the boat - timing is everything! If you are mindful of all the different coral and types of underwater sea life you can truly appreciate the dive regardless. You enter a new world and the time flies by as you soar over the reef. My friend made a comment that isn't as saturated with color, and I do think that is a good point. Don't expect neon edited colors, although some purple's did pop, as this is a natural place! Overall, I'd return to dive with coconut divers, and would recommend them to a friend.

I did my Advanced Open Water PADI with Coconut Divers and it was the best experience. Gonzalo is an…read moreexcellent teacher who was very thorough and you can tell how much he loves and respects diving by how he cares about his students and their training. I felt so comfortable and really came out of the course a better diver because of him! The rest of the crew was just as amazing and caring. Ulysses is a very skilled master who helped everyone really enjoy themselves. I was able to watch him with beginners doing a discovery during my cert dives and he was kind, patient, and helped them have the best time! My brother and sister in law also did their advanced cert with him and they had nothing but great things to say. Ricardo was a great captain and Poncho took incredible photos underwater for us! We saw so many amazing things and creatures during each dive (wreck, reefs, and underwater museum) and our favorite was the night dive! We saw a ton of rays at the wreck, spotted a shark, barracuda, eels, octopus, and many turtles, lobsters and crabs during the night dive. We had the best adventures even when the waters were a bit choppy because of the winds, we always felt very safe. They were so flexible and willing to take us out because we almost couldn't go due to the harbor closing because of high winds. They communicated constantly with us and when they found out the good news it would open, just later that day, they offered and we jumped at the opportunity to do the dives we planned! We stayed at the Riu Palace Peninsula and it was literally a couple minute walk across the street. We'll never forget our experiences with the crew and will definitely be back for more when come back to Cancun! Highly recommend for all levels and ages.

We paid $600 each to become certified PADI in Chicago however due to pregnancy and then babysitting and time and pool schedule - it just happened. Within a week or so of emailing Scorpio, I am certified. Finally. Vincente was our instructor and he has a professionalism that I needed to complete my certification- straight shooter yet kind, patient. Having a ton of water experience I thought this would be easy - well a kid later, years since scuba diving, and some normal anxiety from reading the PADI book that tells you everything that could go wrong. It wasn't nearly as quick and easy as I thought. Thank god for Vincente- I was even annoyed with myself for the unnecessary panic, and he just kept me focused. I was impressed with the service start to finish- Jorge, Alfredo, Captain, and other affiliated teachers that we encountered. Highly recommend. Legit service.

I had to be sure this was a reputable dive operation with a personalized approach. Scorpio Divers was everything we had hoped for and more. There were two dive masters for a total of 5 divers. My daughter and I had our own dive master (Vincente) who helped my daughter overcome her trepidations and allowed her to have an amazing experience. She's hooked! I've been diving for 17 years and I've experienced all kinds of dive operations. Scorpio Divers are the best you can get. Safety, professionalism, individualized attention - perfect for new and experienced divers alike. My advice: avoid the larger cattle boat operations and choose Scorpio divers. They go everywhere - isla mujeres, Cozumel, cenotes, etc.

The location is fantastic, the front desk personnel (Pia & Laura in particular) are responsive, thoughtful and all of them go above and beyond in every way imaginable. Our instructor was Lallo and I cannot recommend him enough. Incredibly knowledgeable, kind and helpful, his customer service and attention to our group exceeded every expectation possible. He is the reason we had such a great time, without question. Our trip was exceptional due to his guidance and expertise, if you dive in Isla, DIVE WITH LALLO. Our captain Gualberto was fun and inviting, going out of his way to make us all feel welcome and comfortable on his boat. We were lucky enough to dive with Danny in addition to Lallo on our second day, and his fun, outgoing attitude brought a great light to the trip, we were very fortunate to have him join us. Such an amazing, memorable experience. 100% recommend to anyone looking to have an enlightening, fun, safe, exceptional experience. We will be back as soon as we can!

He proved to be a very knowledgeable and friendly dive instructor. We've dived once before this, but our previous instructor did not go as in depth about everything as Marin, so we were glad we learned a lot more. Throughout the dives, Marin always made sure our group (my bf and I + another couple) was safe and in his sight. He also took some photos and videos of us. After returning from our dives, Carolina greeted us with some snacks as well. We reviewed our photos and videos the next day, and they even took the time to make a 1-min video compiling some of the best clips from the dives. We highly recommend booking a scuba tour with this company!

We did the whale shark excursion with Mexico Divers today. I will break the review into two parts…read more The booking process and the actual excursion. Booking process- We walked in - in person - to book the excursion. The employee was very friendly and professional. She explained everything throughly. My only gripe is they charge a 10 percent service charge to pay with a card. When the excursion is expensive - with a group - that charge can add up quickly. We were quoted $30-$35 USD cheaper all over the island. Based on a recommendation, we booked anyway - after walking to find an ATM - this was inconvenient. The excursion- The captain and guide were amazing. They took us out to swim with the whale sharks and we hit the jackpot. We also swam with mantas - which was awesome. On the way back, the captain made pitstop so the group could do a little snorkeling. Everyone loved it. Again, my only gripe was the service charge - if that wasn't there - or if it was around 3 percent - I would give a 5.
