Staff in the office was not very friendly, we had trouble with their equipment (faulty regulator), and another diver on our boat also had trouble with their equipment (he ran completely out of air when his guage still read 500). Overall just got a really bad vibe about their concern for divers' safety. With the many dive shops on Cozumel... more

Was recently in Cozumel and once again I chose to dive with Papa Hog's and once again they treated me fabuously. I stayed next door at the Villa Blanca hotel which was real convenient. Walk next door in the morning for breakfast and then across the street to get on the dive boat. There was no set schedule for reefs... more

I dove with Papa Hogs five days last week. I was picked up each day from my hotel by boat always on time. They kept my dive gear for me and I did not have to haul it back to the hotel each day. All the dive spots they took me provided excellent dive experiences. I saw a number of... more

I've been going to Papa Hogs several times a year for over 3 years now and will keep going back. Not only do I dive with them, I often stay on site in the rooms there at the shop - "Hog Town Motel'. As an adult female, often traveling on my own, I've been made to feel welcome, secure, comfortable... more

Just got back from Cozumel and five days diving with Papa Hog's. I highly recommend this operator. The dive masters were patient, friendly and knowledgeable. My personal favorite was Arturo but Donny was a riot too. One of my favorite things about diving with Papa Hog's was the fact that with small fast boats you get to the reefs before... more

I just returned from 8 days on the island diving, first day was with the Dive House at Fiesta Americana(which is where I stayed) and they are just another cattle boat- moo!!!!!! If you like the bigger boats go with Dive Paradise or Aqua Safari. The boats are faster and the dive masters are more "diver friendly". Now, if you... more

This was my family's and my first time snorkeling and Cozumel was the best place to start, the water was beautiful and clear and full of colorful fish and coral. We arrived early and were given our gear to practice if we wanted which was well needed, and then went out on our boat a little early to avoid bad... more

Just got back from Cozumel and wanted to recommend Papa Hog's to all of you divers. We dived with them for 3 days and one night dive and were thoroughly satisfied with the competency, the personal attention, the speed to and from the dive sites, the customization and the overall dive experience. It is a more custom experience than most... more

I have been diving with Papa hogs for many years. I will not choose them again. The boats are fast, and the operation is very busy at times. Lowlights of my trip in last May 2008. 1) Bad divemaster advice - A divemaster tried to confivince a diver to go-ahead and dive with a BC that would not hold air.... more

My wife and I are newly certified divers and since our cruise ship was stopping in Cozumel for a day, at one of the most premier dive destinations in the World, we wanted to find the best dive operation to take us diving. Checking with our dive shop at home and doing a little research on the internet we decided... more
