Had a great week diving with Abdias and Fernando. The first day I had trouble with the ladder (bad knees) and Frank brought out the other boat that had a much easier ladder. I was on this boat for the rest of my trip. Adbias even fixed my reg mouthpiece during a surface interval. As stated by another diver, Frank... More

I just finished a week of diving with Abdais and Fernando the dive masters and Frank makes sure everything runs on time and you have what you need. I would recommend Pepes Scuba to everyone, they pick up at other Hotels. More

We just returned from a two week trip to Cozumel where we did 15 dives with Pepe Scuba. This was our 4th time using Pepe. Abdias and Fernando are great divemasters, and are always willing to help improve your skills. Props to captains Fidel and Valente also. Frank was accommodating when a group of us requested a second boat so... More

We dive at Pepe's everytime we are in Cozumel and they are very safe and fun. They will accommodate you and take you to any dive site you wish to go to. The staff of divemasters is so fun !! I was very surprised however , on our last visit to see them killing Lion Fish on a recreational dive.... More

I apologize for your dismay over this practice.For several years now,the majority of Dive Operators in Cozumel have participated in an active eradication program under the administration of our National Marine Park. Office.These lionfish are an evasive and destructive creature that will destroy our reef structure and diminish or eliminate entire species of our natural inhabitants.We have various programs and...

We took a dive with Pepe's during our stay at Coral Princess (it's onsite). They were great to work with and we had a wonderful divemaster, Abidias. We saw three sea turtles while we were diving and Abidias took some underwater pictures and had a cd for us. Would definitely dive with them again! More

I am very pleased to have chosen Pepe's scuba to begin my diving experience with. The dive master that taught me (saved me) was Fernando who I HIGHLY recommend. I was nervous and scared but through his help and direction I was able to successfully dive 20 ft, 40 ft and then 60 ft. It was an amazing experience. Fernando... More

I just got back from a diving vacation in Cozumel and had a great time diving with Abdias and Valente, the two divemasters at Pepe Scuba. The whole team is fun and the boats are fast to the dive sites. I highly recommend them. More

I would like to clear up a misconception in a couple of reviews about Pepe SCUBA. I have known this operation for nearly 20 years. Frank, the current owner, is not new to the business. He was completely running the shop for 10 years prior to "the real Pepe's" death and he has been sole proprietor of the shop for... More

Their dive guides konw all of the reefs and will take you where you want to go. Their primary dive guide, Abdias, has incredible eyesight to find... More
