It was a little scary at first! They were helpful in letting us know about the pressurization of going down. They put many different sea life in our hands lol. Would buy the photos but with all tours kind of pricey. Well worth the tour! Fun riding these mini subs!
Dear Guest, Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We completely understand that the first moments of pressurization can feel a little surprising — but we're glad our Team walked you through it and made sure you felt comfortable before diving in. That initial adjustment is all part of the adventure, and it sounds like you embraced it wonderfully! Getting to hold a variety of sea creatures is one of those unexpected highlights that makes the Cozumel Shore Excursion: Mini-Sub Diving Adventure so special, and we love that it brought a smile to your face. We appreciate your honest feedback regarding the photo package pricing and will certainly take it into consideration. We are glad the overall experience was well worth it for you! We hope to welcome you back for another ride on the mini subs soon! Sincerely yours, The Oceanus Cozumel Team
Awesome experience. The fish came and ate out our hands. The guides were fantastic and the pictures were outstanding!
Thank you, Everett! It doesn't get much better than having fish eat right out of your hands — what a moment! We're so glad the guides made the Cozumel Shore Excursion: Mini-Sub Diving Adventure such a fantastic experience from start to finish, and that the photos captured it all perfectly. Those are the kind of memories worth keeping! We hope to welcome you back for another underwater adventure soon. Sincerely yours, The Oceanus Cozumel Team
Second time doing this excursion. Had such a great experience! Please try it. The operators were amazing. Would do again!
Thank you, Tanja! A second time — now that says everything! We are so glad the Cozumel Shore Excursion: Mini-Sub Diving Adventure continues to deliver and that our Team made it just as amazing as the first time around. Repeat Guests are the greatest compliment we can receive, and we truly appreciate your loyalty and enthusiasm. We hope to welcome you back for a third dive soon — Cozumel's underwater world always has something new to discover! Sincerely yours, The Oceanus Cozumel Team
The instructor and the rest of the crew were great! They were very informative and took great care of all 6 of us. Even though we had a couple of nervous people in our group, they were patient and took extra special care with them. It was so cool to feed the fish and hold various sea creatures. I’m usually very apprehensive with animals and nature, but I didn’t hesitate one bit to hold starfish and sea cucumbers. Best experience of my life!!!
Thank you, Caleshia! "Best experience of my life" — what an incredible thing to read, and what a title for your review! Knowing that our Crew took such great care of all six of you, including those who needed a little extra reassurance, means everything to us. Patience and attentiveness are at the heart of what our Team brings to every Cozumel Shore Excursion: Mini-Sub Diving Adventure, and it's wonderful to know that came through so clearly for your Group. We hope to welcome you and your Group back for another dive soon. Sincerely yours, The Oceanus Cozumel Team
I was not very impressed by this excursion. We wanted to do the mini-sub and the current was too strong so we were sent to this one. It's basically just walking under water. I see more snorkeling.
Hello Angela, Based on your comments, it appears your review has been posted on the wrong listing. Our tour consists of Guests piloting their own personal Mini Submarine through Cozumel's reef — it does not involve walking underwater, which is a feature of a different excursion entirely. We do want to clarify that your Mini-Sub experience was cancelled on that day due to strong underwater currents — a safety decision that we never take lightly, as the well-being of our Guests is always our top priority. We kindly invite you to redirect your review to the experience you actually participated in, so that future Guests of both tours can make informed decisions based on accurate feedback. If you ever have the opportunity to try the Cozumel Shore Excursion: Mini-Sub Diving Adventure, we would love to welcome you and show you what our tour is truly about! Sincerely yours, The Oceanus Cozumel Team
Very fun and unique experience! My teenage sons loved it. If you're claustrophobic or uncomfortable with your ears popping it might be a little difficult at first but after your ears pop a couple times it's a really incredible experience. They sell a SD card of photos and videos they take if you want to purchase it afterwards.
Thank you, Travis! It's wonderful to hear that you and your teenage sons had such a great time together — those are the kinds of family memories that last a lifetime! We also appreciate you sharing such honest and helpful insights for future Guests. You made a great point — the ear adjustment is a natural part of the experience during the Cozumel Shore Excursion: Mini-Sub Diving Adventure, and just like you described, it passes quickly and the reward is absolutely worth it. Thank you as well for mentioning the photo and video SD card — a great way to bring a piece of Cozumel's underwater world back home! We hope to welcome you and the family back for another dive soon. Sincerely yours, The Oceanus Cozumel Team
Sooo fun - great experience - when they tell you to dunk head to get into the headpiece - take a deep breath and go fast !
Thank you, Jana! We love that you embraced the experience with such enthusiasm — that's exactly the spirit! And thank you for sharing that great tip for future Guests! You nailed it — a deep breath and a quick dunk makes all the difference when getting into the breathing bubble, and once you're in, the magic of the Cozumel Shore Excursion: Mini-Sub Diving Adventure truly begins. We hope to welcome you back for another dive soon! Sincerely yours, The Oceanus Cozumel Team
