    It was our first time...

    It was our first time scuba diving. My wife, son, and I had a blast in the cenote. We saw lots of fish (angel fish, barracuda, etc) and crabs under the water. At one point our guide had us surface to see a crocodile sunning itself on land just a few feet from us. The staff was very welcoming, friendly, and knowledgeable.

    Great cenote but was not told there are an additional fee to enter the cenote. Should have been included with the cost.

    This cenote tour was great unfortunately weather was not good enough to do the reef dive portion. Got a partial refund for that part. We were surprised with an additional fee to enter the cenote. This really should have been included with the cost of this tour. Not impressed with that.

    Amazing experience!

    My husband and I have talked about getting our scuba certification and when we booked our anniversary trip to Tulum, we decided to go for it. Julio was honestly the best instructor! He was so friendly and patient. He made the entire experience enjoyable. I would highly recommend anyone to take their scuba lessons or even excursions with Agua Clara!

    We had the best time

    Julio was so great. I was already certified, and my husband needed to complete his open water dives. Julio was informative, calm and very experienced. The whole team took great care of us the whole time!

    Best scuba diving tour in Tulum!

    I had the great pleasure of booking a scuba diving tour with Agua Clara in Tulum for my open water certification. The location was right next to the beach and all the staff (instructors + boat captains) were extremely professional and friendly. Everyone is bilingual (Spanish/English) so don’t let that discourage you if you may be worried about that. They reached out to me ahead of time to make sure I could do the online courses before the dive (they are SSI and PADI certified). Eyal provided all the required information beforehand and was always responsive to my questions. Not only were the dives beautiful (1 cenote dive + 4 reef dives), but my instructor Alf is top notch. He walked me through everything, including important safety measures, the buddy system, and navigation under water. He instructed me with the utmost professionalism, while being kind, patient, informative, and funny! Safety is his and the company’s top priority and overall I had such an amazing time. I will definitely be booking another tour with them (in Cozumel hopefully). 20/10 🌟 Happy diving!

    Discover Scuba Diving in Tulum: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Discover Scuba Diving in Tulum 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 Tulum 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 Diving in Tulum take?

    +

    Plan for about 5 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 Tulum is not rushed.

    Is Discover Scuba Diving in Tulum worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 113 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tulum, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Discover Scuba Diving in Tulum?

    +

    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 Diving in Tulum suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Discover Scuba Diving in Tulum?

    +

    Around 40 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 Tulum 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 Tulum and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Discover Scuba Diving in Tulum 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 Tulum 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 Tulum?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Tulum experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Chichen Itza from Playa with cenote, Valladolid and Mayan cuisine, Tulum Ruins, Turtles in Akumal and Cenote tour, Selva Maya Eco Adventure Park: Ziplining, Hanging Bridges, Rappelling and Cenote. 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 Tulum?

    +

    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 Tulum?

    +

    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 Discover Scuba Diving in Tulum?

    +

    Included: All taxes, fees and handling charges. Not included: Gratuities; Hotel pickup and drop-off available for an extra cost. PLEase write us for information if; and Entrance fees. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
