    AMAZING 2-tank refresher dive!!! We will be back!!!

    We had an amazing refresher dive with Alux Divers in Mahahual, MX last week! The communication before hand was frankly great. We knew exactly where we were going and what to expect. Getting dropped off at the village by cab was actually a great experience--very short ride, btw. The locals were incredibly welcoming and gracious! Cab rides were super easy to get to and from the cruise port. (just $5/pp each way) It had been MANY years since our last dive and we loved that we could get private instructor time to go over all of the stuff we may have forgotten over the years. There were three different people getting private instruction while we were there. We were all getting our own pace of refreshing in our own private sessions. They were incredibly patient and also quizzed us as we went to make sure we were retaining the information. Our instructor and dive master, Morgane, was absolutely amazing!! I was frankly initially nervous to be diving again after so long. She was incredible at going through the refresher information with me and my husband. We had her sole focus and she did a great job of focusing on the important details. She used a white board to illustrate her instruction which was really helpful. After she was comfortable that we were retaining what she was refreshing us on, we walked to the shore and did a brief shore check-out for safety before getting on the boat with our gear. I will be honest...when I booked this, I was trusting reviews 100%. I was very nervous. I fortunately underestimated the quality of refresher that we would get (I thought maybe we would get 15 minutes on the boat as we were heading to the dive site). We spent a good amount of time with Morgane at the dive shop going over information with a white board (TRUE instruction), inspecting and preparing our gear, etc. It was far more than I expected and turned out to be exactly what I needed to feel confident in my dive skills once again! The dives were also great. We have been on about 50 Caribbean dives through the years and we saw things on our two dives that we had never seen in the Caribbean before! Beautiful. immense, and peaceful school of boga going overhead was likely my favorite moment! We also saw Eels, Shrip, Lobsters, tons of diff fish/coral. We rented their their gear and I didn't have a single worry--well maintained gear and tanks! We will 100% be back! Loved it so much! Also an INCREDIBLE value!

    Good experience

    This is about the dive and not the experience, per se. Don't expect the typical cruise experience for an excursion. The pre-education was exceptional. This is the 3rd time I've done a similar excursion and this is the best pre-education I have received by far. The staff was very knowledgeable and helpful. The actual dive was rough. The day we were there, it was very choppy. The water was not clear and it was hard to see each other. We ended up going to a shallower location. I, personally, struggled with the choppy, murky water and was unable to do the dive, but my two adult children enjoyed the dive and felt the guide was amazing.

    Could not have been happier

    We had an amazing dive with Chris at Alux divers. They worked with a cruise ship schedule and were just outstanding. We saw an abundance of sea life beautiful reef. Chris pointed out cow fish, rays and much more. So grateful for the guide and support with instruction. A must Do if you have the time. Thank you Alux and Chris.

    Cruise stop diving excursion

    Alux divers was great. My wife and I did a two tank dive with a refresher class. Our kids did a discover Scuba class and we came back after our first dive to pick them up and all go together for their dive. Morgan was great with us and Gabriel worked with the kids and was very patient helping them out with any issues. Alejandro was very professional with all the arrangements, questions and instructions including getting there from the cruise terminal, etc. and forwarding some pictures the following day. Would definitely do it again and highly recommend.

    Response from the operator: Hello John, Thank you very much for your kind comment. Looking forward to seeing you and your family for another dive. Alejandro Mata

    Great tour company, personalized instruction makes you feel safe and ready to dive.

    This is a fantastic scuba experience for beginners. My instructor Candela was so patient and really helped me a lot when I got a little nervous on the descent. You feel 100% prepared before the dive. The owner Alex is great and very communicative before the tour. They’re super flexible and let you do everything at your own pace— you never feel rushed or pressured. Each participant is paired with their own instructor so you feel super safe. If I came back to Roatan I’d definitely do this again and bring friends. One of the best tours I’ve taken on Viator!

    “Embark on a Professional and Passionate Scuba Diving Adventure!": questions travelers ask

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

    How much does “Embark on a Professional and Passionate Scuba Diving Adventure!" cost?

    +

    Prices start at $105 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 “Embark on a Professional and Passionate Scuba Diving Adventure!" 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 Costa Maya is not rushed.

    Is “Embark on a Professional and Passionate Scuba Diving Adventure!" worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 18 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 “Embark on a Professional and Passionate Scuba Diving Adventure!"?

    +

    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 “Embark on a Professional and Passionate Scuba Diving Adventure!" 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 “Embark on a Professional and Passionate Scuba Diving Adventure!"?

    +

    Around 6 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does “Embark on a Professional and Passionate Scuba Diving Adventure!" 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.
