Outstanding Dive Shop and Parient Instructors
My family had a wonderful day out with the Aquanats team —- ne my 10-year old son liked it so much he got his PADI scuba. As an experienced diver would highly recommend the entire team —-very glad we went!

Diving in Paradise
Can’t say enough great things about Aquanauts. We did two excursions with them. One for discovery diving and one for snorkeling. The crew there is amazing and very knowledgeable. We saw incredible sea life and had a wonderful experience. Claudia our diving instructor was also wonderful and the owner Crescent is a gem. She even picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel. Prices were very good and didn’t break the bank. I highly recommend them!

Great dive shop
Did 2 reef dives with Dan and a cenotes dive with William. All 3 dives were fantastic and I hope to return soon. We saw eels and nurse sharks on the reef dives and the crazy cenotes limestone formation known as ‘hells bells.’ Highly recommended!

Aquanauts Dive Adventures changes agreed upon prices
My husband went to the Aquanauts Dive Adventures to get information about a specific dive he wanted to do. I He was given a price by email and told them he would come back when he was able to book and give a date. When he did this they increased the price by 300 pesos but he reminded them of the agreed upon price and the person he had spoke with originally agreed to the original price of 3200 pesos. He booked for two days out for the original price of 3200 at to the specific dive site. On the dive day he walked with all his equipment (20) minutes only to be told as he was unpacking his gear the price was now higher by 600 pesos from the original price. The reason they gave was because the site was far away. Farther away when he booked the dive? He refused to pay their inflated price and walked back to our condo. This business had his email and could have reached out to alter the price but I guess they were lazy and more likely hoping he would cave and pay them what they asked. He would rate it 0 if he could since no service, or communication was provided.
Response from the operator: Please forgive my delay in responding to this review. I am only just seeing it, as there was no notification from TripAdvisor to alert me to the review. Which is strange, I will check my notification settings. I realize that a few months have passed since your vacation to Puerto Morelos but I have no record of your husbands reservation, deposit or email. Your review did not give me much information to go with so I might be missing something. I have been searching reservations from January and February with a last name starting with W. We did have to increase our prices in late 2023 to keep afloat with the inflation of the past two years. I tried to keep each guest informed of the price changes. I apologize if the price change notifications did not get communicated correctly. Our prices are set in US dollars and not in pesos. None of our tours have a total of $3,200 pesos ($188 US dollars) so I am rather confused as to the amount you listed. We do our best to take care of all aspects of guest experience and when mistakes happen we own up to them and find solutions for our clients in the best way possible. I wish you or your husband had directed your disappointment to me directly so I could address the issue in the moment as three months later I am unable to do much to rectify the situation. Thank you for your review. I will continue to search for the email you spoke of and try to reach out to your husband. If you see this review, I encourage you to contact me again. Be well and thanks again.

Highly Recommended Dive Shop in Puerto Morelos
Highly recommended for new and experienced divers. Crescent and her team went out of their way to ensure we had some fabulous diving on our 1-week vacation at the El Cid Ventus hotel resort. Due to high winds, the marina was closed for the day we had reserved to dive. Crescent put her team to work and they organized a different diving excursion to an open Senote called “Casa Manatee”. She organized all details with dedicated transportation, and our driver Antonio gave us in-depth insights of the local history, geography, and culture. The 1.5 hour drive went by in a flash! Rene, our dive master, gave the training and skills to the beginners in our group as part of the “Discover Scuba Class”. We then dove the open Senote. The mangroves in the river made it really a unique and picturesque dive. Many varieties of fresh water fish to see and very good visibility. The icing on the cake was when Crescent called us early one morning later in the week to inform us the marina had opened (as the winds had calmed), and that an ocean dive to the Reef was possible. We were all over that and Crescent organized another excursion for us to see the Reef before our vacation ended. Her crew, led by our dive master Soy, took us out to “The fish market” for our first tank and as soon as we got in the water we understood where the place got its name! What an amazing place! (see the pictures to prove it!). Our 2nd tank was at “The wall” where we spotted and swam with a few green turtles… again, amazing experience. If you’re looking for great people to dive with, super qualified PADI dive masters, excellent gear, extremely safe environment, in Puerto Morellos, Aquanauts is the place! Thanks Crescent for the amazing experience and we can’t wait to see you and your whole team at our next visit! Robert & Paula from Ottawa, Canada

Why this scores 51
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Discover Scuba Diving - One Tank at Coral Reef: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cancun.
How much does Discover Scuba Diving - One Tank at Coral Reef cost?
+
Prices start at $175 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 Diving - One Tank at Coral Reef take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Diving - One Tank at Coral Reef worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 51 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 12 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 Diving - One Tank at Coral Reef?
+
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 - One Tank at Coral Reef suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Discover Scuba Diving - One Tank at Coral Reef?
+
Around 4 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Discover Scuba Diving - One Tank at Coral Reef 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.
