“The Best Diving Experience In Cancun!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed August 2, 2011

people found this review helpful

I have been diving with Scuba Fred's for four years and I have never had any problems. The crew is very hands on and very friendly. They make sure that you are comfortable with everything before they take you into the ocean and they are always willing to accomodate your schedule. I just recently got back from Cancun and I took my Padi certification with them and it was fantastic. They make sure you understand what you are learning before you learn something else. It is also great for divers who have little or no experience. They really do take care of you. I will definetly be back!

“Great diving experience, small groups”

Dove with Scuba Fred July 11-13 and must say the hands on care given was great. Not a fan of cattle boats and like the feeling of smaller boats in which the dive master has time to get to know you. Did 2 tank am dives about 45-50min of bottom time average on all dives. Its great diving with a shop where everyone is on the same page. Alfredo the dive master couldnt have been more knowlegeable about the sites and what we needed to do and what we would see. I took some specialty courses also, same thing very professional. I have dove before in Cancun and used a larger outfit that just wasnt for real diver, wish i found Fred afew years ago. I will be using Fred again next year when i'm in Cancun. Thanks for the great dives!!!

“Been with Scuba Freds, Dive Cancun, Nautalus a LONG time!”

I have been diving on this boat for well over 10 years. Although ownership has changed 4 years ago, the same crew works hard (including the past owner) with divers giving a safe, friendly experience. The wild life is unbelievable. Coz is a spectacular dive due to depth, while Cancun brings wildlife you won't see in Coz. I visit Cancun 3-4 times a year and will stay with the best. Don form South Dakota (875+ dives)

I had a chance to dive with Fred and his team during a recent trip to Cancun. I appreciate the professionalism of his crew. They were a lot of fun but, they made safety a priority. The boat wasn't crowded and I enjoyed the pampered service. I would recommend Scuba Fred's to anyone who is planning a dive while in Cancun. Give them a try - you won't be disappointed!
