Amazing and patient for beginners!!
Scuba Life Cozumel did an amazing job and I highly recommend them, especially for beginners!
They were super communicative over WhatsApp and even squeezed us in last minute. Our guide David and captain Fernando were so patient and kind, and they made us feel comfortable the whole time. Everything was wonderfully thought out, and the snacks and fruit on board were a great touch.
In the water we saw a ton of turtles, crabs, lobsters, and the most beautiful fish. If you are new to diving and want a team that takes care of you, book with them. I would go back in a heartbeat.

Hola Karolina,
Thank you so much for your kind words. David and Capi Fernando are very happy that you felt at home diving with us. As you had the chance to witness the marine life in Cozumel's National Marine Park are simply amazing. Hope we can have you and Tomas diving again with us someday soon! Maybe you could try going for the PADI Open Water certification? We would love to help you achieve it!
Thank you both again for your visit. Welcome to the Scuba Life Cozumel family!
- Andy!

10 of 10 Amazing Experience, Instructor and Captain!
My son and his friend had an absolutely amazing experience! Maria and Cookie were above and beyond expert, caring, fun and a great instructor and captain! These two explained everything very clearly and slow enough until the instructions were understood. They pointed out marine, which enhanced their snorkeling experience.
I highly recommend this tour to anyone.

Best excursion! Just do it.
We had to take a taxi to the site but if you know where you're going you can just walk. It wasn't far from the port. Bring cash to use changing room and toilet. The folks here were very helpful and everything was easy. David (noodles) was our scuba instructor and he was fantastic. He made sure we were fully prepared and comfortable with everything before we entered the water. You could tell he genuinely cared about his student divers and he loved his job as an instructor. Jimmy was as our boat captain and he was extremely knowledgeable and very helpful. We were offered fresh fruit, cookies and water. We did two dives and they were both amazing. Noodles showed us stingrays and sharks and too many fish to count. He was very professional and patient as we learned how to use the equipment. My wife was nervous but Noodles carefully eased her concerns. Overall, it was an amazing experience and well worth the money. I would highly recommend the excursion to anyone who wants to see the world under the sea!
