First time scuba divers. Fred was great! He made us feel comfortable & wanted us to truely enjoy our experience. Small groups, so more supervision by guides. Definitely the place to go for either first timers or experienced divers. More

Our trips were an easy reef in cancun, the cenotes and the c58 wreck. Unless you're very inexperienced I probably... More

After 12 days in Mexico we had tried different tours and trips and we wanted to go snorkling and just snorkling - no meals and no free drinks included tour, but the pure thing. Met Freds son at Clipper Club and made an agreement 25$. We had a competent boatdriver and an enthusiastic guide in the water - We snorkled... More

We dove with Scuba Fred's on Monday December 12 2011. The group of us (5 people total) are not certified. Only one person in our group had been on a dive before (during a previous trip to Cancun). We arrived at the Clipper Club at 10:05am for a 10:30am appointment and were a little turned off by the hut and... More

Just wished I had more time to come back and do a few more dives with them. I am still not sure what the whole deal is with the nautilus, scuba Fred connection, but I got my cert with nautilus two years ago and was thrilled and was equally impressed with Fred and his organization. Friendly and a pleasure to... More

I dove with them in the morning and afternoon. Very profesional and courteous staff. This could not have been a better trip. I will agree with other reviews the personal... More

This was my 4th experience with Freds, Nautilus, etc.....it's a complicated thing....These people do their best to keep you upright, alive, and enjoying your surroundings.....from total rookies to experience divers.....all are welcomed, and all are handled according to their needs.....I asked to go along on one of their afternoon dives, knowing it was a shallow dive, and that's what I...
