Coconut Scuba - If you are a first time scuba diver, uncertified 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. read more

I did my Advanced Open Water PADI with Coconut Divers and it was the best experience. Gonzalo is an excellent 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. read more

My wife and I got our Advanced Open Water PADI certs with Coconut Divers in Oct 2023 and had a great time. Came back in in May with my sister to get hers completed and experience was even better. Gonzalo and Ulysses are great instructors and dive masters. Ricardo was a great captain and navigated us through choppy waters and Poncho is a great underwater photographer, amazing shots at night. I highly recommend the Night Dive! Communication with Gonzalo was great. He was very responsive to all questions and concerns. Hope to come back again! read more

I did 6 dives with Coconut Divers - 2 cenote dives (went to Chac Mool, highly recommend) and 4 ocean dives (3 reef, 1 museum). I dove with Alex, Ulysses, and Gonzalo (I think that was his name anyway, definitely started with a G). I really enjoyed my time with all of them and they were fun and made me feel safe. I was also very easily able to make reservations with them through whatsapp after calling and having a bit of trouble with the language barrier on the phone. They communicated very well on whatsapp (in english) and I would be happy to dive with them again. Saw a spotted eagle ray and a nurse shark on our last dive. read more

Coconut divers didn't show up to our tour. We were at the meeting spot and waited 30 mins before leaving because they never showed up. We couldn't get ahold of them through instagram, WhatsApp, and trying to call them. Save yourself the headache and book with someone else. read more

The best diving I have done!!! Super nice and reliable, friendship and funny! I'm highly recommending coconut divers. read more

We did a couple reef dives with Ulysses (dive master) and Richard (captain). It was a blast. These guys know their stuff. Ulysses planned the dives well. We were able to stay down longer because we were in the water at the right time and the current made the dive easy. It was practically a private tour! Thank you thank you Coconut divers! read more

Coconut Divers Cancun - Scuba Diving Near Me - Cancún, ROO

I'm nuts for Coconut Divers! These guys do a good job of getting inexperienced divers out to the reef and breathing underwater! We were shown a quick movie that ran us through the basics on how to operate the octopus and several reminders to keep breathing no matter what. Then we went down to a shallow swimming pool at the yacht club and marina next door, where we practiced how to wear the breathing apparatus, how to put on our mask and clear it underwater, and the basic hand signals. Then, we were off- the crew took care of everything for us- non-alcoholic drinks, got our tanks and weights, offered wet suits and all the equipment. They were quite knowledgeable and did a good job of keeping an eye on us to make sure that we didn't get in any problems or trouble while diving. Our dive included two dives- one to the underwater art museum, and one to a coral reef. Both places were excellent picks, right off the coast of Isla Mujeres. The dive masters kept really good supervision of us underwater, and I felt comfortable diving with them. The boat driver was a bit fast on choppy waters, making a few of the members our our dive team nauseous. read more

This experience has been unbelievable. Started with a discovery dive and ended up getting certified! The team is amazing - very knowledgeable, supportive and helpful. Bonus - high quality underwater photography! Definitely recommend! read more

Just got back from a trip to Cancun and are dives with Coconut Divers were the highlight! Their entire staff was amazing. We have done trips with a lot of different outfits and this was the most personalized experience because they keep the dive groups small. Something you don't often get at some of the larger dive shops. Their guides are very knowledgeable about the area, personable and patient. We could not have asked for a better experience! read more

On vacation in Cancun for Valentine's Day. Decided to check off the bucket list and go scuba diving for the first time. We found a discover scuba company through our hotel Ocean Spa and came to the sunset marina hotel to scuba dive with the coconut divers crew. Amazing experience! All the anxiety and questions we had for the dive were answered in clear description. Gonzalo, Pancho, Ulysses and our boat driver were an excellent team that provided comfortable and helpful support through the entire experience. Definitely recommend to any first time divers! read more

Best dive facility. safe reliable. After four dives will come back again. don't miss out on their dives. staff was excellent.

We had a great couple of days with coconut divers! Gon and our Captain, Ricardo were the best! Very informative and helpful while getting my advanced open water certification. Definitely recommend! read more

I was looking for a Scuba certification class for while I was in Cancun and im so glad I found Coconut Divers! I had emailed a few different places but ultimately went with Alex and his shop due to his customer service via email. Alex was our dive instructor and was super patient with my husband and i. Some of the requirements to get certified are pretty tough but Alex kept telling us to take our time and we were in no rush. He was so encouraging the entire way. Plus you see some amazing spots on the reef and in the underwater museum! I would highly recommend Coconut Divers and hope to scuba with him again!! read more

I dove Angelita and Taj Maha with Coconut Divers. The dives were great! I've been diving for about 30 years and worked as a divemaster for a couple of years, and never seen anything like either dive site. Manuel, the divemaster on the trip did a great job. Safety was definitely his top priority but he also did a great job of teaching about how to dive caverns, what we'd see, and made the dives a lot of fun. I will definitely book with them again the next time I visit Cancun, and would recommend them to both new and experienced divers. I think Alex and Manuel would both be excellent instructors to take a class from as well. I was looking forward to doing a reef dive with them too, but the weather did not cooperate. Alex did a great job of letting me know as early as possible about the weather cancellation. They were also very flexible about organizing a trip to see the dive sites I wanted to go to. Hoping to checkout Zapote next time in Cancun. read more

These folks are great! Very accommodating, friendly, knowledgeable, solid equipment. Due to my schedule, I could only dive in,the afternoon and they made it work. I'm an experienced diver so I could really appreciate the care they demonstrated for the beginners. read more

Great experience! We did a dive with the to see the reef a few months back. Really knowledgeable, safe and good master diver. They were so good we canceled our plans the following day and they took us to the Cenotes which I highly recommend! Thanks Coconut Divers. read more

Alex, Leif, and the rest of the gang are extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and nice. I wanted to get three days of diving in, but was uncertain of my schedule. The communication with the various staff members was excellent, and they helped me decide when and where to dive, even making concessions for my odd schedule as there were other divers who were extremely flexible. My last day, I was supposed to dive a wreck, and after talking with the other diver on my boat, we decided to do two reefs instead because of my light cough, feeling a deeper dive might not be best for me. He wasn't put off by it at all, and felt like we had a better time getting to see more of the reef. The general flexibility was the biggest positive point for me. I was extremely pleased with everything. One note, when emailing, as it is with most people you email with, ask just one question per email. As we've all done when answering an email with multiple questions, a single question gets answered. I found I did the exact same thing myself this morning, so I really can't complain about it. =-) Great staff, fair pricing, and overall a lot of fun. They helped me experience new things like cenote diving, new reefs I hadn't seen before, and more. The dive masters I worked with were extremely nice, and most importantly they were excited to show me new things under the surface. As I'd expect, safety was paramount, but enjoyment was an extremely close second. These folks are top notch. I will be diving with them again next time I'm in Cancun. read more

No hesitation recommending this shop... Why? Read on my friend. The synopsis- small shop. Personal, friendly, very flexible. Boats and gear well maintained. Wetsuits a touch worn, but what do you expect? My wife and I are only open water certified, not a ton of dives so take that for what it's worth. We also researched the heck out of this before choosing coconut. The 'kick ass' web sight was not up yet, may not be ever, who knows. So I email- within an hour or so (and this was after business hours) Lorena responded- ma have been the standard reply, prices of dives various combos. Cool. So now I have questions... and right away, I get answers. She says that basically we can mix and match whatever we want. So we 'book' r dives, each 2tank. No deposit, no problem. Fast forward a week... we drop our bags at the hotel and head over. As we walk in I am greeted by name! Very nice. In no time at all we are getting fitted for gear and heading out. Lorena was our guide day one. She was very gracious, easy smiles, encouraging- don't we all want that? And that was our experience on all of our dives. Three different guides for the four dives- each had their own style, none was off putting. Part of our stay- Not coconut related* was a time share presentation. We let the dive shop know thinking we might miss a dive- no problem. We are told if we don't show up we will simply do 2 dives the next day. And as timeshares go we were held hostage until it was to late.the next day, we show up and all is well. No hassle, no worries. It was a long day with 2- 2tank dives but very fulfilling. All told we did 4 reef dives, very nice- 1 wreck dive, super cool- 1 MUSA dive(meh)- and 2 cenote, absolutely amazing and a must do. Wicked thermocline made visibility poor but the shop can't be blamed for that, nor the skill of the other divers read more

My husband and I found Coconut Divers on the last day of vacation in April of 2018. While we were unable to dive with them at that point, we decided to use them next time we were in Cancun. They were friendly and very helpful. In January of 2020 we went back to Cancun and used them. The web site seemed to have an issue but I emailed Coconut Divers and Lorena answered very quickly. We communicated a few times in email and got our dives set up. We stayed in the resort right next door - very nice to be able to just get up and walk to the dive shop. And we left all our gear at the shop after our first dive. The weather was not very cooperative during the week. We had planned 4 days of diving but were only able to do 2 due to the Harbor Master closing the port to small craft. However, Lorena was great about keeping us informed if the dives were cancelled. Side note: My husband and I are both advanced certified but while he is good - I'm still getting the hang of diving.... We were able to do the cenote on one day and a wreck/reef another day. Leif was our dive master on the cenote. He was funny, very safety oriented and didn't hesitate to nicely let you know your skill level (which was great). He also convinced me that I could do the cenote as I was a little nervous. Lorena did the wreck/reef. Again safety was the first priority. There was some current that day that I had a little trouble with. Lorena kept an eye on me and helped me a couple of times. Also, I am due for a knee replacement next month and could not make it back into the boat with all my gear on. Lorena helped take my BC and fins off and Ricardo helped me onto to boat. Lorena is a great dive master and has a million-dollar smile and personality. read more

A+++++ Service!!!! If you're in Cancun and looking to dive this is the SPOT!!!!! The staff are friendly, efficient, and competent!! My dad has been diving with them for years, and although this was my first time, I'll certainly be back!! Alex speaks perfect english and will make your experience unforgettable! I dove the Cenotes this year and it was spectacular! Don't miss out!!!! read more

Very nice and helpful team. They allowed us to move around our package so that we didn't have to include MUSA since we have been there previously. Very kind when I left my mask at the resort so they included one for my last dive. Most importantly Very safe! We are coming back next year and will be diving with them again. read more

This is the company I've done the most dives with and I would definitely double and triple that amount any opportunity I had. The customer service, conversation, and care was phenomenal and made my trip fantastic. I would dive with any of their staff and trust them with my happiness level and life! read more

This company is top notch! All my emails were responded to within minutes, no mater what time of day. They booked our appointment right away. They were professional and so easy to deal with. They took care of me and my husband. This was our first official dive since being certified, and I was so at ease. From the dive master, to our dive instructor, and the boat driver we felt taken care of. Everyone's safety was #1. Go see them if you're in Cancun! They love scuba diving, and it shows! we had such a great time! read more

This place is amazing. Small group and the dive master Ulysses and Roberto were awesome. We saw Sea turtles, giant crab, nurse shark, rock fish (rare), eagle ray. Right there in Cancun. This was a great dive. Tes who owns the place was personable and sweet. Very accommodating. Loved it!! read more

They have amazing staff. I felt very comfortable going with them. Alex the owner is super nice and very accommodating. I went for 4 dives and every single one was above what I was expecting. Nice place to go diving and incredible experience . read more

Took a 1 hour snorkeling trip from Hacienda Tres Rios. Simple boat piloted by Jorge. Took us to two reefs: one a large area about 15 minutes north from the resort and one where a boat was sunk. Depth was about 10-15ft with good visibility. Lots of fish and a few small lobster. It was good for the $50 pp price. read more

Most professional dive shop around. We were afraid as first time divers to be mixed in a large group and to not have personalized attention. Coconut divers exceeded our safety standards and expectations. Andrea took special time to instruct us on everything we needed to know. One of us in the group was scared once in open water, Andrea comforted her and quickly got her to dive about 30ft. Eulecyse our dive master paid special attention to each person on board and made sure everyone had a great experience. Thank you coconut divers for the A+ experience. If you're diving for the first time please take your time to research a place that makes your safety the number one priority. read more

The team at coconut divers is so much fun and try to accommodate your wish when possible. We enjoy our time with them and plan on going back whenever possible. read more
