Excellent communication from the team. They are top notch in safety and take scuba very seriously. The front desk folks helped us way before arriving in Mexico with lots of planning.

He reviewed all of the diving fundamentals on our way to the site and made us feel confident before getting into the water. During the dive, he was always pointing out interesting things that we would have missed on our own. Between dives, he took us to a sandbar to relax and have some snacks/drinks during our surface interval. We actually saw a huge ray while we were hanging out there. For our second dive, Moi adjusted our weights a bit and got our buoyancy just perfect. Thank you Scuba Tony for a great dive outing.

I had the most amazing single-day dive trip with ScubaLife! For context, I only just became…read morecertified a few months ago, and the only dives I had completed were my checkout dives for that certification (in cold water, and shore entry!). This was my first time with boat entry, open water warm dives, and I had the best time! The entire experience was great. Service: As this was part of a solo travel for me, I was in communication with the dive shop via WhatsApp to make sure that I was fully prepared. I felt very comfortable the entire time, and everything was explained clearly. All materials and great were prepped and ready for me upon arrival, and all staff members that I was interacting with were kind and welcoming. Experience: We did two dives, and had some discussion on the boat as to what we most wanted to see, to help determine the locations that we would travel to. We settled on Palancar Bricks for the first dive, and La Francesa for the second. There were 7 divers with 3 dive masters, so despite being a solo traveler, I felt like I had a ton of support. The overview of the dive sites before entry was great, because it primed me for some of the aquatic life that we would see. As my first warm water and coral reef dive, I can say that scuba diving is one of the great privileges of my life--I was overcome with emotion at seeing so much! Schools of small (young) fishes, corals, large organisms, sponges, nurse sharks, barracuda, a seahorse, a cozumel toad fish, giant parrot fish, and so many more! Special thanks to Captain Mono, Jorge, Juan, and Javi who led our trip. If I ever have the fortune of returning to Cozumel, I will absolutely return for more trips!

The guides were incredible, and diver to dive master ratio was 2.5 to 1, and best of all, they had parkas on board to keep us all warm. This was one of the nicest dive shops based on service, limiting the group to a small size, and the extra things they did for comfort. I highly recommend Scuba Life Cozumel - 10/10!

The staff were all friendly…read moreand professional, the dive masters were very knowledgeable; an interesting fact, the water here has higher salinity which makes you more buoyant which in turn requires more weight to compensate, the aim is to be neutrally buoyant so you can hover. Normally I need ~20lbs, they calculated what I actually needed and they nailed it first time, no need for adjustment. For this trip, we were taken out and did a drift dive of two different reefs, both were incredible sights to see, and our guide showed us cool things along the way. Pictures and video don't do it justice, and words can't describe, you need to dive in and see for yourself.

Our group had several different diving levels from very experienced, nervous and 2 checkout divers. They fully accommodated our needs and took us on 2 amazing dives. They also brought us to a nice rest area in about 3 feet of water where we could paddle around and eat fruit and cookies and watch the sting rays. Our equipment was new and in good condition. We used steel tanks which was a new experience and they talked us through using it..The staff was knowledgeable and fun. Can't ask for more.

We just had a FANTASTIC week diving with Aldora! Where do I start?…read more Upon arriving in Cozumel, we walked to Aldora with our gear. We were each given a wet bag to keep anything we wanted them to set take to the boat each day, and clean afterwards. Each bag was tagged with your name. They were VERY well organized from the get go. We were picked up for the dives right across from our hotel (we chose a well rated hotel that happens to be across the street from Aldora's dock). Our BCDs and regs were always set up for us, with our wet bags in our respective cubbies with the rest of the gear we had left for them (fins, masks, etc). The boats are small and fast, which means quicker boat rides out to the dive sites, and small groups of divers per guide (max 6 divers per guide, but often less). The dives are LONG! Between the nitrox and large steel tanks, Aldora ensures that you can get maximum bottom time. Our only dives shorter than an hour were the "adventure" dives, as they were deeper, but all standard dives were 65+ minutes, with our longest at 86 min. There were always yummy boat snacks, typically fresh cut fruit and often a cookie or muffin. On the 1st dive of the adventure dive, we hunted lion fish and the captain made a DELICIOUS lion fish ceviche while we were on the 2nd dive. We thoroughly enjoyed the ceviche and a homemade guacamole during the 2nd surface interval. The guides were mainly fantastic. Our favorites were Arturo, Roberto, and Bernedice. They really went above and beyond, had great dive briefings, pointed out lots of neat sea critters, and were overall just good people. If you decide to change your dive itinerary, you can just text them through WhatsApp and they are very responsive and are accommodating. The dives are a little pricier than some other companies, but you're getting full service, and much longer dives than you'd get elsewhere. Great value for the slight increase in price. HIGHLY recommend, and will definitely be diving with Aldora again next time I'm in Cozumel!

They were able to look me up in the computer and found my certification online and got me signed up right away so we were in the water the very next day. They lent us all equipment needed and the instruction was thorough and the instructor was kind and helped my son who was a first time scuba diver. It was a proud father son moment watching my boy check one off the bucket list to scuba dive for the first time and we got to scuba side by side. This is a solid dive center and the prices are reasonable. Can't get better than this in terms of location and convenience. 5 stars and a muchas gracias to the staff, instructor and crew.

We happen to be at the close report, but didn't realize it because we didn't bother googling directions. They were literally like four blocks from the ship port for Norwegian, but there is another port further down. That might be a 10 minute drive. They're located right downtown near a lot of coffee, shops, and restaurants. Great walking.
