I had an amazing experience with Infinity2Diving! From start to finish, everything felt incredibly safe and well organized. The team is highly professional and full of knowledge, which made me feel confident and relaxed the entire time. You can really tell they care about both safety and giving you the best possible experience in the water. I learned a lot, had so much fun, and can’t wait to dive with them again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a safe, fun, and memorable diving adventure!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for the wonderful review. We’re delighted you felt safe, confident and well looked after throughout your experience with us. It was a pleasure having you at Infinity2Diving, and we look forward to diving with you again soon.

I had a nice day in the water with my guide Niko. We did a Cenote and a reef. Niko was a wonderful dive buddy and I highly recommend him. The lunch after was awful but that's not why I was there. I don't think this is worth removing a star but I will note that the meetup location on my confirmation was not correct and it led to me sitting alone in a gym off a weird gravel road with no signal worrying I was going to miss my tour. I was able to get on the gym's wifi and contact the dive shop and a gruff (Australian?) lady begrudgingly came to pick me up. She said they had had ongoing issues with the wrong meetup point on the confirmations and I said "oh, I wish you had let me know in advance so I could have been dropped off at the right spot" to which she replied "it's not that big of a deal"..... As a woman traveling solo in a rough appearing area with no cell service it is actually a big deal. So despite having a nice day the start was not great, and the issues were preventable with proper communication.
Response from the operator: Thanks Erika for the feedback, we are doing everything we can to finally solve the location situation. The shop is two steps away from the gym, sometimes the pin is not 100% accurate. Once again we are doing everything to fix it. We really appreciate your review. We are happy to hear you enjoyed your dives with Niko, he is a very friendly and enjoyable instructor.

Highly recommend!
My sister and I had the best time! Our instructors Julieta, Miri, and Jonas made the experience fantastic. They were so supportive and helpful through the entire excursion. This would be great for first time scuba divers or anyone who might not yet be certified, but wants to go out on a fun adventure!
Response from the operator: Thank you for your kind words! See you soon back in Tulum

100000/10 Experience
This was our favorite excursion of the whole trip. Jess was fantastic and super knowledgeable about the diving precautions and very experienced in general. Mia and Nickolia were so so nice with making sure they stayed behind to be sure I was comfortable before I was ready to actually dive down. It was my first time diving so I was incredibly grateful for their patience. We had a terrible wreck that locked us in a one-way road for over two hours the instructors instead of just leaving us in a car and waiting took us to a restaurant. Had a few drinks with us. Enjoyed a nice meal on the beach and made the entire trip perfect even through extenuating circumstances couldn’t have asked for a better host. 10 out of 10 would recommend again and intend to come back to Tulum and finish our certification and do some open water diets. This made the trip.
Response from the operator: Yay, wow. Thank you for a lovely review! We can't wait for you to come back for OWC.

Amazing!
This was such an awesome experience! It was our first time trying snorkeling and Maya who was our instructor was great! She was very patient and took the time to make sure we were comfortable before proceeding. Recommend 1000%
Response from the operator: Thank you so much! Let's go diving next time

Why this scores 74
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Discovery Scuba Diving: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tulum.
How much does Discovery Scuba Diving cost?
+
Prices start at $170 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 Discovery Scuba Diving 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 Discovery Scuba Diving worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 83 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 Discovery Scuba Diving?
+
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 Discovery Scuba Diving 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 Discovery Scuba Diving?
+
Around 29 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 Discovery Scuba Diving 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 Tulum Ruins, Turtles in Akumal and Cenote tour, Tulum Guided Tour, Magical Cenote, Lagoon Snorkeling and Beachside Lunch, Chichén Itzá, Cenote and Valladolid with Lunch and transportation. 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.
