Shop around for the best pricing because we've been quoted as high as 500 pesos, but we lucked out on a boat company next to the Circle K that quoted us 350 pesos per person. Your guide takes you to two different places lasting 45 minutes each, and is in the water at all times with a life raft should you get exhausted. Weather conditions were great, lots of sunshine and crystal clear water you'll be able to see a wide variety of sea life from fish, coral, sea turtles, stingrays, and even manatees. Life jackets and snorkeling equipment are provided and required. ALOHA!!!!

Transportation was right on time, no transfer to another bus, or another stop, or (like other excursions we've been on). Also it took less than an hour from the hotel zone. The guys working at Selvatica went above and beyond. What a nice group of people working. Every single person working was non stop going, and still were so happy and nice. They made us feel comfortable, and made our day so enjoyable. It is a guided, organized experience so you're guaranteed to do everything that you signed up for. Barely any wait, and you're basically with the same group the whole time. The light 'snack', is a turkey sandwich, and then you get lunch (tacos/fajitas) at the end. There's a very cool bar, the place itself is picture worthy, you feel like you're in a tree house! Highly recommend doing this. There are lockers there, but can't bring phones on most of the activities. There are photographers (hanging from zip lines!), and photos for purchase at the end. $100, however they came with nearly 150 photos, worth the purchase. Recommend - wearing comfy clothes, bring a swim suit, and if you have crocs id wear those.

Just returned to Cancun for another long dive weekend, and had a spectacular time with Squalo…read moreDivers! Our first day was a 2-tank boat dive. Squalo provided pick-up & drop-off at our hotel, which certainly made the day easier, and Nicholas guided us on 2 fun dives at Jardines and Manchones Grandes. The boat has a lot of shade, which is nice for your surface intervals, and they have plenty of bottled water to help you stay hydrated. Friendly and efficient crew. All in all, a nice day on the water! Our next 2 days were filled with some absolutely incredible Cenote dives with Juan. Again, Squalo provided hotel pick-up, and had also let us store our gear overnight at the shop, which certainly made things much easier than dragging gear back and forth from the hotel, especially with early morning pick-ups. The first day we dived the relatively well-known El Pit and Dos Ojos. Juan was a great guide for these two sites...he provided a comprehensive pre-dive briefing, so everyone felt confident and really enjoyed the dives. He also provided lots of food, snacks and beverages during the day, which was greatly appreciated as the distance can make for a long day. (Special shout-out to our driver, Edgar...appreciate you keeping an eye on our things while we were diving, and raising/lowering gear to the water for us!!) The next day was just me and my friend heading to some lesser-known Cenotes with Juan. We did Zapote and Kin-Ha, which were not only breathtaking dives, but were so empty of divers, that they were basically private dives for us, at both sites. These dives are a little more advanced, but are stunning. In addition, I was also very impressed with the new facilities at both dive sites...in fact, the bathrooms at Zapote were probably the nicest I've seen at a dive site....even counting the US! Juan was both knowledgeable and fun...we had a great time during our day with him. I highly recommend Juan and Squalo Divers....especially for Cenote diving!! Enjoy!!

I was on vacation in Cancún mid November 2017 and a two of my hostel mates invited me to join their…read moredive. I had never been scuba diving before and was quite nervous at the idea of being submerged underwater and surrounded by marine life. However, I'm not one to back down from new and exciting experiences, so I joined with a bit of fear and worry on my mind. We got to Squalo Divers bright and early to begin the in class portion of our diving informational session (two of the three of us didn't have PADI certification). Our in-class instructor, whose name I cannot recall (tall guy who lived in Canada for a bit), was very thorough and explained in great detail the joys and the risks involved in diving. While I appreciated his thoroughness, I became riddled with all of the potential "what ifs" that could go wrong. I just kept thinking about what would happen if I panicked under water and pressed the red button(to inflate my vest) and shot up to the surface of the water. I remained cool, calm and collected on the outside, but my mind was racing all the while the instructor spoke. After the classroom session we made our way over to the hotel to practice in the pool, before heading out to the ocean. We began with simple breathing exercises and slowly made our way underwater to implement our practices. I submerged my head underneath the surface of the water and did exactly what they said not to do (Silly me, I know. Blame it on the nerves!) and held my breath causing me to panic. I quickly gave our field instructor the thumbs up signal indicating that I wanted/needed to go back up. I took my head out of the water and removed the breathing regulator from my mouth. The field instructor rose to the surface and asked what was wrong. My fears had manifested and simultaneously disrupted my thought process. I had become consumed with fear and was so close to quitting (before the real fun even began). I started crying and second guessing if the experience would be worth it. The field instructor reassured me that I would be okay and that I needed to trust myself. I calmed down and began trying again, this time he held my hand (literally) and took me through the process, step by step. I am so grateful for his patience and understanding. I didn't feel judged or like I was wasting his time. I felt comforted and reassured, thus boosting my confidence in trying this new experience. We headed out into the beautiful blue ocean that lies between Cancún and Isla Mujeres and began our dive at the Underwater Museum. We fell backward into the water and made our way down the rope, pressurizing our ears in the process. Once to the bottom, the field instructor ( all the praise for an incredible amount of patience) held my hand and guided me around until I felt comfortable exploring on my own. We swam around, exploring for a bit, viewing the museum and all of the cool "ship wrecked" pieces that were underwater. Our second dive was at beautiful coral reef ( I kept thinking of Finding Nemo and secretly hoped to see a Clown Fish, a Pacific Blue Tang and an anemone. I realized afterwards that I was in the wrong part of the world see those little fishies, lol.) that was bursting with marine life. We saw a sting ray, numerous species of fish including several schools, a beautiful little turtle and much more. At the end of our dives I was incredibly happy with my choice to go through and live this new experience. I cannot imagine having my first dive with any other Scuba Diving company. Due to the incredible experience that I had, I plan to get my PADI certification on my next vacation in Thailand or somewhere that I can see our beloved Disney - Pixar fish friends - Nemo and Dory. A million "thank yous", Squalo Divers, you all made my first diving experience one that I'll never forget. Be well and happy diving!

There is also a unique gift shop and cafe onsite to enjoy a complimentary lunch (offered with some excursions) or a fun souvenir for home. Facilities are very modern and clean and the staff, from the Mayan performers to the people at the boat dock, are very fun, gracious, and helpful. My family had a blast on their speedboat excursion and was a highlight of our trip. You can also purchase pictures of your excursions - my advice - get them printed onsite or put on a flash drive. I opted for the email link and it never ended up working for me. Oh well, next time I will get the flash drive. We will come back as it offers something different in our resort schedule and it is very close to where we normally stay on the strip.

BE SAFE DONT DIVE HERE !!!! I dove with this company 5 months ago, and as a certified diver since…read more1997, diving every 3-5 years, I was shocked by the poor condition of the equipment. The zip tie that should have secured the mouthpiece to my regulator was missing, causing the mouthpiece to detach at 20-30 feet underwater. Fortunately, the dive master was nearby and offered their octopus regulator, but shockingly, the same issue occurred--no zip tie, leading to another failure. This turned the dive into a dangerous, life-or-death situation. To make matters worse, the boat was in terrible condition, which only added to the discomfort and sense of unease throughout the experience. While I'm grateful for the dive master's quick response, I cannot recommend this dive shop to any diver. Equipment safety and proper maintenance should be the top priority, and sadly, that wasn't the case here.

We were able to dive together with a private instructor on 2 days and one day we shared an instructor with another group. Eduardo was very nice to book the trip with, the driver picked us up on time from the hotel, very friendly and delivered us back after the dives. Everything went smoothly on the dives and one day one of the areas was closed so we could not dive it and Eduardo refunded us a fair portion of that tour for the day immediately, with no hassle. This is a great company, honest and trustworthy. They have top dive masters and instructors that will take good care of you and keep things safe. Next time we visit Cancun & Cozumel we will book with them again. Thanks Eduardo! If you are a first time diver like me, to give you some info of what it is like...you get private training at a beautiful private yacht club pool for 30 min or so (or until you are comfortable I guess) before you go on your Cancun or MUSA dives. It was great to be trained privately at my own pace and I really felt comfortable here during the training. They supply literally everything other than a towel. Highly recommend the Cozumel dive experience, it's a must! The driver also picks you up in a very nice and spacious van, clean and new, drives us to the area we dive and waits for us until we're done. The same driver will drive you home at night. In the case of diving Cozumel from Cancun, the driver drove us 1.5 hours to Playa Del Carmen, then waited there 6 hours for us to drive us back to Cancun. It felt like VIP service and we loved it!

What better way to describe Nautilus Diving than amazing?…read more If you are a beginner scuba diver, then you need to put yourself in the hands of Sherri and Octavio! (You can thank me later!) They have the patience of saints and will take the time to ensure that you are completely comfortable before going into the water. Everything will be provided for you (wetsuits, equipment, goggles, flippers, etc.) so all you have to do is show up! Your day will start early, around 11 am, where you will first hop in the pool for a lesson on scuba diving basics. Once that's complete, it's time to go into the water where you'll be escorted to two separate dive sites. Once you're in the ocean, either Octavio or Sherri will always be close by to help you out and to frequently check on your well being. I don't even know how to swim but at no point did I ever feel uncomfortable while under the water; an instructor was always within reach. And the sea life down under is amazing! The sites they escorted us to were filled with all kinds of fish, eels, lobsters, crabs and even turtles! The entire time, Octavio or Sherri will be snapping pictures, which they'll email to you after your dive, so all you need to do is enjoy your time on the ocean floor while they capture the memories! I've already gone diving with Nautilus twice and will definitely be back again!
