There are several dive shops in Isla Mujeres, but for me there is only one - Squalo Adventures. My wife and daughter (18) and I recently vacationed in Isla Mujeres for the express purpose of Scuba diving and Squalo made it an amazing trip for us. From the first moment we entered the dive shop, Leandri was there to say hello and answer all of our questions and offer helpful advice on dives and availability and the myriad of questions you always have. So, we signed up for a dive and it was quick and easy. When we arrived for our dives the next day, we were greeted by the team, including Andres (the owner)(awesome) and Divemasters Jesus and Roberto as well as later, Geiser (Pronounced Hazer) and our boat captain. Everyone there is friendly, professional, responsive to your requests and amazingly good people.
The equipment was excellent and included with the price for the dives. The boat is clean and comfortable.
And the Dives!!!! Wow!!!. We went out to the Museum and Manchones Reef (day 1) as well as out to Shark Cave and another reef (day 2) and each dive was better than the last. Amazing Fish, Turtles, Rays, a huge school of Jack that swam around us, Barricuda, etc. The water is so clear you can see forever. Jesus and Roberto are great dive masters. They made sure we were all up to speed on our hand signals and planned out the dive for all of us up on top before we went down. They told us what to expect and we saw it. When we needed safety stops, they made sure we all had enough air and time to do them. When we surfaced, the great boat crew made getting our equipment back on the boat, easy. Ample Water is provided whenever you want it and fruit snacks on the ride back were a treat. What a joy to be able to share this with my daughter who had just recently been certified. The whole team at Squalo just seems dedicated to making sure that everyone had a fun, safe and amazing experience. I'm sure that there are other good dive shops on Isla Mujeres, but why would I go there, now that we have found Squalo Adventures. Well Done and Thank You.
