    Outstanding and full service treatment

    Wow.. what can we say..Carlos (Charlie) and Lucas were brilliant.. from the moment we got there, they couldn't do enough to ensure our dive was as best as it could be. We were required to borrow BCDs, and Carlos took the time to go through the characteristics of the BCD so we knew where things were. The BCD was excellent quality and very modern. All our equipment was taken to the boat for us.. we just needed to walk there and enjoy the dive. They don't offer pickup / drop-off service at this dive centre, but we arrived via MSC Liner, so getting a taxi was easy and cost only $5 per person each way. When we finished our dive, we were welcomed back at the dive centre with cold towels to wipe out faces and some cold water, small cakes, and pineapple while we cleaned our own equipment.. all in all this is an excellent dive centre and we will return again. Thank you team.

    Another great dive w Dr Dive

    Perfect one or 2 tank dive. The reef quality and visibility excellent. Service is good and there is always a guide showing you good stuff. Panga boats leave from the beach in front of Ya Ya Beach club also a fun spot. They will work with your schedule for cruise ship people and they answer Whatsapp inquiries Would recommend, second time we used them in 6 months. You will not be disappointed if your scuba diving

    Best operation in Costa Maya

    Had an absolutely incredible scuba diving experience with private guide Cesar and Captain Nin̈o! From start to finish, everything felt relaxed, safe, and perfectly tailored to what I love most about diving—underwater photography. He went above and beyond to point out amazing subjects I would have otherwise missed, from well-camouflaged marine life to stunning reef scenes. Their knowledge of the dive sites and sharp eyes made all the difference, and I came away with some of my favorite photos Can’t wait to dive with them again!

    Great dive!

    The dive masters were great and very friendly. We decided to rent instead of bringing our own equipment, which was in very good condition. Overall I enjoyed the dive and we were lucky enough to see garden eels.

    Outstanding dive

    Amazing dive, saw so many different fish and coral. Outstanding and attentive PADI outfit- paid close and personal attention to my daughter who was a newly certified diver. Never dove Costa Maya/Mahahual before but adding this to must dive every time. Charlie was amazing.

    1 Tank Dive for certified divers: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Costa Maya.

    How much does 1 Tank Dive for certified divers cost?

    +

    Prices start at $65 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Costa Maya usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 1 Tank Dive for certified divers take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Costa Maya is not rushed.

    Is 1 Tank Dive for certified divers worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 26 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Costa Maya, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 1 Tank Dive for certified divers?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is 1 Tank Dive for certified divers suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 1 Tank Dive for certified divers?

    +

    Around 9 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Costa Maya can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Costa Maya and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 1 Tank Dive for certified divers start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Costa Maya within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Costa Maya?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Costa Maya experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Chacchoben & Bacalar Combo Excursion Costa Maya, Costa Maya Shore Excursion Chacchoben Day Trip, Chacchoben Mayan Ruins from Costa Maya. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Costa Maya?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Costa Maya?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in 1 Tank Dive for certified divers?

    +

    Included: Guidance of experienced instructors; Water and soft drinks; and 1-tank dive. Not included: Use of SCUBA equipment. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for 1 Tank Dive for certified divers?

    +

    We are located next to the Yaya beach club on the beach Malecon, just 5 min taxi ride from the cruise port. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is 1 Tank Dive for certified divers offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English, Italian and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for 1 Tank Dive for certified divers?

    +

    Is 1 Tank Dive for certified divers wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +
