About this experience
Discover Scuba (DSD) is your introduction experience to the wonders of scuba diving and where better to do that than on the second largest barrier reef in the world, The Mesoamerica Barrier Reef, inside the Puerto Morelos Marine Reserve. Discover Scuba is an introductory experience to what Scuba Diving is, how it is performed and the gear you will need to become familiar with if you would like to add scuba diving to your future adventure/vacation itinerary. Discover Scuba is not a certification course, it is an introduction to Scuba. In the case you would like to become a certified scuba diver, this is where that adventure begins.

Great place and great service
Me and family had the best experience here at Wet Set Diving and Snorkeling. They are 100% legit and genuine. You'll never be disappointed. I left my own snorkel gear in their office by accident n it was safely returned back to me. 100% worth your money.
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to write such a sweet review it really does mean the world to us! Hope to see you again soon Felicity and the Wet Set team

Amazing and fun
This was an excellent time! We did 2 dives with lunch in between. The club sandwich was delicious! It was just my wife and I and everything went so well! Our instructor was very patient and he was so good at explaining everything and making sure we understood and were comfortable. We was an excellent guide, showing us everything he could spot. We got to see an underwater cenote, sea turtles, sting ray, lobsters, squid! All sorts of stuff. It was definitely an amazing adventure.
Response from the operator: Hello Mike, Thank you for taking the time to write such a sweet review it really does mean the world to us! Hope to see you again soon Felicity and the Wet Set team

Memorable Adventure!
My husband and I did this together. Our guide was Dan. He was very informative and so patient. There were a total of 3 in our group which was great. The undersea world is incredible. Definitely recommend the 2nd dive so you can see more of the beautiful reef. We really enjoyed this experience and will return!

This was great, can't wait to get certified!
This was so well done and so much fun. The guides were friendly, knowledgeable, thorough. They were attentive to the different ability levels of the students without limiting everyone's ability to safely learn Scuba, and enjoy the wildlife.

Why this scores 70
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Discover Scuba: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cancun.
How much does Discover Scuba cost?
+
Prices start at $140 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cancun usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Discover Scuba take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 Cancun is not rushed.
Is Discover Scuba worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 50 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cancun, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Discover Scuba?
+
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 Discover Scuba suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Discover Scuba?
+
Around 18 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 Cancun 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 Cancun and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Discover Scuba 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 Cancun 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 Cancun?
+
On Outty we rank every Cancun experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Early Access to Chichen Itza All Inclusive with Valladolid and Cenote Swim, Whale Shark Tour from Cancun, Playa del Carmen, Tulum and Riviera Maya, Small-Group 3 Hidden Cenotes Adventure with Tequila Tasting. 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 Cancun?
+
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 Cancun?
+
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.
