Finished my open water certification with Andres Fernandes of Squalo Adventures. It quickly became obvious that he had diving in his blood coming from a family of divers. Patient, relaxed, and extremely reassuring in his approach. This being my first time diving, his calm and friendly reassurance made it an incredible experience. Professional, well organized but still laid back. Besides... More

Andres Fernandes was very friendly with our questions and doubts about diving at night and what to expect and to see, we did 02 night dives. Danny was our guide and he was very knowledgeable and attentive. I would definitely recommend Squaloadventures! More

I went snorkeling for the first time and decided I wanted more, so I stopped by Squalo Adventures and inquired about scuba lessons. I thought the service was excellent and no pressure. They explained all the procedures and I decided to wing it and go for it. Once I went to the pool with my instructor Dany, and once I... More

We did four dives with Andres and Danny, two drift dives, the underwater museum and the Gunboat C-58 wreck. The dive center is fantastic, and looks after everything for you without you even having to lift a finger. The instructors are relaxed and friendly and very competent. The coolest dive we did was a drift dive through Punta Sur around... More

While planning our trip trip to Isla Mujeres, I came across some pictures of MUSA. It looked so beautiful, I just had to see it up close. This requires scuba diving so I started reading through reviews on tripadvisor for different dive shops. I liked what I read about Squaloadventures so I went ahead and booked it with Andres prior...

I had never heard of Squalo and was planning to go with another dive shop that I had researched prior to my trip... but, I was accosted (in the nicest sense!) by Allen on the street and he promptly went on to tell me his whole shtick. SO HAPPY HE DID. I had already taken my diving classes and needed... More

I moved to the island nearly a year ago and have made friends with a number of divers and hear about diving All the Time! I am also a swimmer and have had troubles with one of my ears and have struggled to swim deep without discomfort or pain - so I just decided diving was never going to work... More

We have had two dives with the guys from Squalo and we have some mixed feelings about them. The crew is absolutely nice, there is nothing to say about this. The equipement was unfortunatley average. The wetsuit were a pretty mess, obviously being used quite heavily in the past. The mouth piece of the regulator of my husband was almost... More

We dove with these guys in October 2011 and had a great time. We had such a good time that we came back! The first thing we did after checking into the hotel was find our dive buddies! This time around we completed our Advanced Certification. Dany was our dive master throughout and he was awesome. We had a difficult... More

I have made several dives with this company. They are really kind and professional in their work and you can rely on them completely for seeing good divesites. I would definately go back to do more dives here. They watch the circumstances of the weather and the experience of the divers if there are any changes that need to be... More
