We offer scuba diving trips for beginners and experienced scuba divers, keeping groups small for a guaranteed personal service. We offer a full range of PADI courses, from 1 day experience programmes like the Discover Scuba Diving course, to Open Water Diver, Advance, Rescue, Divemaster courses and speciality courses too! We offer shallow dives close to the island with great visibility, calm conditions and little current, ideal for divers with less experience. Choose from several great dive sites, such as the amazing Underwater Museum (MUSA) and Cross of the Bay, to see how sculptures made of PH neutral concrete can develop over time to create a new flourishing marina habitat for local aquatic flora and fauna. « less

Andres was accomodating from the moment I walked into the shop. Stephanie was very helpful in making my comfort level even better as I had just gotten certified the day before in Cancun and these were my first two dives with my temporary certification. She was great at explaining things and answering questions. Very competent and nice! She had a... More

Thank you Andres for another great experience with Squalo. While back on Isla, I completed two additional specialty certifications with Adriana and Steph toward my PADI Master Scuba Diver credentials - everything was professional, fun and thorough. This trip, I finally made it to the C-55 wreck which was a breathtaking experience, swimming alongside the 30+ spotted eagle rays. Arturo... More

Wonderful dive resort! PADI accredited so you can be assured professionalism and peace of mind. I took my Open Water dive course here to get certified. Andres was my dive master, I would highly recommend. He is calm and confident and explains everything so well. I felt very secure the entire time and did not feel rushed. This is especially... More

My boyfriend and I did a fun dive to the sculpture park on Isla Mujeres with Steph Hammond as our instructor and had a fantastic time! Steph was a great instructor - she was lots of fun but also really helpful and made us feel safe and comfortable. The boat trip included plenty of fruit and water and was generally... More

We did our 4 open water dives for the open water Padi certification and had Stephanie Hammond for an instructor and she was absolutely fantastic! She gave excellent pre-dive instructions, had the patience of a saint, and gave wonderful feedback after the dives. They recommended postponing because of rough seas a couple of days and as new divers that reassured... More

The plan was for our adult daughter to complete her open water dive for PADI certification, my husband(a skilled diver) would join her and I would snorkel. Andrea was up-front with me that the water was so rough that I might not have a good time. I appreciated that honesty and had two great beach days. Waiting with my daughter,... More

We were very disappointed with our experience with Squalo Adventures. They had been recommended in our guidebook and we had felt good about their operation after we visited several dive shops upon our arrival to the island. Steve was concerned that we go with a reputable dive center as I am recently certified. Not only did we wait a significant... More
