Carlos was patient and had positive attitude, even after long day with multiple dives. The day after, we went to Cozumel with Juan Carlos, who is very experienced and a great person. He has taken care of al...

Amazing experience with wonderful people ( Carlos and Juan Carlos). They are both very experienced and very knowledgeable divers. But not only that, they are very nice, talkative and true professionals. Can’t recommend enough. Our last dive was 7 years ago and Carlos gave us a refresher for 2 hours in a pool. He helped us a lot to regain our confidence. He has over 25 years experience and very ex...

The equipment was in good conditions, the diving plan clear, and the dive sites w...

I HIGHLY recommend Juan Carlos and Cancun Scuba Center! The 5 stars are there for good reason!!!

Juan Carlos made us feel comfortable and feel safe so that we could do the dive. Although we got certified at a different div...

All round lovely peopl...
