Meet Scuba Life Cozumel at Marina Fonatur for a beginner-friendly scuba experience at Paradise Reef. You’ll watch a PADI lesson, practice skills in shallow water, then make two guided boat excursions with full gear. Instructors such as Jorge, Gabo, Diego, Aldo, and Javier are known for calm, personal instruction.

“Gabo was amazing. So patient and provided each of us with a tailored experiences that made us comfortable. Fantastic It is important to note this excursion takes about 4-5 hours. We were told by Viator 3.5 hours. When we discovered this after checking in with Discover Scuba they were kind and accommodated getting us back early so we could catch our cruise ship. However, we were only able to do half of the trip. Disappointing for such an expense but the Discover Scuba crew were amazing at doing their best to accommodate based on the miss information we received.”
