Can't say enough nice things about this outfit, went above and beyond to accommodate my group of 3 drivers and a snorkler. Got to see the Museo and another reef off the coast of Isla Mujeres. More

While visiting Cancun, myself and a friend decided to go Scuba Diving with Scuba Fred's. We each paid $20.00 in advance to secure a reservation. They picked us up at the hotel right on time and we headed to the water. After completing a medical form, Alfredo informed my friend that he would not be able to do his first... More

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

scuba freds was one of the best priced operators that we could find. We made a total of 3trips (6dives in total) with them. the 2 different guides we had during those dives were mario and alfredo. both were great. 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 recently was on a busness trip to Cancun and had a narrow window of opportunity to dive. I found Scuba Freds from the Scubaboard.com and am glad I did. 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
