      Wet set it’s the best.
      The safest & funnest scuba I have done in the 20 years I have been traveling to he Cancun area ! I am going to visit them next week and can’t wait. Did my advanced open water with them 2 years ago and had the best instructors. Have had family do snorkeling and they loved he staff too. I have used other dive shops and nothing comes close to this crew. I only wish I had found them sooner and if only there was a wet set in Cancun ,Cozumel,playa del Carmen,puerto adventures, akumal, tulum,Montego bay,and punta Cana too!

      Another amazing time with Wet Set
      We take snorkeling tours with Wet Set practically every year we are in Puerto Morelos. Our experience this year was amazing just like all the others. Musa was a terrific guide. The Wet Set team is lovely, professional, patient, and made our time in the sea -- with multiple generations (oldest 83, youngest 12) spectacular. Oh -- and the sea, the sea -- like swimming in an aquarium. Couldn't recommend this crew more highly.

      Fun and professional
      I have been diving with Wer Set for three annual week long dive trips with a friend. Each trip was a pleasure to work with Felicity and the first rate dive masters. They are flexible to meet different training needs or dive interests and every dive is both fun and professional. I will be diving with them for years to come.

      December Dive
      Wet Set Diving is absolutely amazing! Every single person here is the best and so down to earth. They all welcome you in like you are family and my experience was absolutely perfect. I did travel with my own equipment and only used a wetsuit from them. It was clean and in excellent condition. I will absolutely book my dives with Wet Set when I return to Puerto Morelos. If you are researching dive companies in the area, look no further and book your dives with Wet Set Diving Adventures!

      Renewed my love of diving
      Did a refresher diving course followed by some boat dives. Hadn't realised it had been 23 years since my husband and I had last dived. Juan our instructor was brilliant. Informative, patient and thorough. By the time we did our dives I was feeling very comfortable. We had 4 amazing relaxing dives - a mixture of a wall and drift diving and the experience reminded me of why I loved diving. Felicity in the office was lovely and very helpful. Would definitely recommend them.

      Wet Set is the best choice for enjoying this wonderful reef ecosystem
      Wet Set performed excellently as we were introduced by them to this portion of the Meso-American barrier reef. While much of the coral on this reef ecosystem has been damaged by global warming, as is happening all around the world, this was still a very interesting experience snorkling above to view the many species of fish found in these shallow waters. Christopher was especially helpful as he escorted my less accomplished wife throughout this memorable adventure. Wet Set staff are highly skilled in showing the reef to their customers, while also ensuring the safety of all their clients. One could not make a better choice than Wet Set to make the wonders of this still functioning reef ecosystem available for your education and enjoyment.

      Perfect day of diving
      The folks at Wet Set Diving Adventures were absolutely fantastic! We had some specific needs for these dives, including using nitrox and staying shallow, and they accommodated us perfectly. The dive master was very knowledgeable about the sites and was wonderful to work with. We will definitely dive with them again next time we’re near Puerto Morelos!

      One of the best dive shops we've visited. They helped me to plan my underwater engagement and was able to connect us with Juan, a professional underwater photographer! It was definitely a wet kiss down there :). Ba dum tss

      Great Long Weekend Dive Package Experience!
      We did the Long Weekend (reef dives, night dive, Cozumel) diving package with Wet Set, along with a refresher. Felicity was great at coordinating everything and made sure to triple check with us we remembered what time we had to be there for the various dives :) We chose the Cozumel trip as part of the package and loved it! We dove a site on the wall and managed to do a wreck, which was awesome. Dave, the owner, was our guide for Cozumel and made sure we had a safe dive (and also was super knowledgeable on the type of fish they have there). For our other dives we dove with Juan, who has dove over 6000(!!!) times, and he took great care of us! The boat captains taking us out to our reef dives were also super great, and the boats (Flamingo and Jaguar) are very cute! Highly recommend Wet Set, it was safe, clean, and well organized, with a truly personal touch we will remember :) We will be back!

      Great place and great service
      Me and family had the best experience here at Wet Set Diving and Snorkeling. They are 100% legit and genuine. You'll never be disappointed. I left my own snorkel gear in their office by accident n it was safely returned back to me. 100% worth your money.

      The family wants to return!
      With 51 years of working in the dive industry, I’ve led a lot of dive trips and have used a lot of dive operators. In May I chose Wet Set in Puerto Morelos for a family scuba trip, based on their reputation. I wasn’t disappointed. Our group varied greatly in its dive experience and physical abilities. The Wet Set staff accommodated the needs of everyone. They were extremely competent in leading the dives and in keeping the group together. They enjoyed finding and showing the myriad life on the exceptionally healthy reef. The Wet Set culture is to meet the needs of each diver making it, by far, one of the best dive operations I have used.

      Best place to be under the sea!
      Absolutely amazing dive shop! I did a refresher dive on shore and then a two tank reef dive the next day. Both experiences were absolutely amazing. I got my Adv Open Water back in 2012, and have only dived a handful of times since then the last being almost five years ago. Felicity and her team explained to me what my best options were for getting back in the water and I am so glad I followed their recommendations. Juan the instructor made me and the others in my group feel safe, comfortable and totally taken care of both before and during the dive. For me this was the first time I really got some key concepts relating to buoyancy and breath and actually wish I had done all my training there because the quality of teaching and skill is just so much higher than other places I have been. Not only that but the quantity and variety of marine life in this location is unbelievable! So so beautiful. Absolutely loved my dives with these guys and wish it had been thirty. The whole team is super friendly and make you feel welcome from the beginning. Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience. I can’t wait to come back.

      Get wet with Wet Set!
      Wet Set is THE place in Puerto Morelos to go for your diving and snorkeling needs. The staff is awesome - friendly, knowledgeable, safe! I did 4 reef scuba dives with my son, and we were so well looked after; big shout out to Ivan for showing us some incredible creatures (shark, turtles, squid, eels, lobster, and fish galore!). We were also taken down to Cozumel with our guide Eugenio, who was so entertaining; what an experience! One of my top dives ever. The next week I took the rest of the family on a snorkeling trip with Wet Set which was so much better than another snorkel trip we had taken earlier in the week with a different company; this was relaxed, uncrowded, such a beautiful experience. I will be back to Puerto Morelos (hopefully soon!) and I will not hesitate to hit up Wet Set again!

    My daughter and I booked with Wet Set because of their good reviews and we were so pleased! Wet Set wet suits and all supplies, including snacks & water on board and towels/shower afterwards. The staff was well-trained so our safety and that of the reef were ensured.

    There were 6 snorkelers, a nice sized group. Christopher, our guide, was knowledgeable, helpful and funny. He did a great job of pointing out special things we might have missed like stingrays, conch shells, barracuda, shark caves, and sea turtles.

    Pollo, the boat captain, was entertaining and so helpful.

    The price is reasonable for the quality of the staff & excursion. Wet Set is located conveniently near town center. I would go again if we were staying longer!

    Wet Set offers a 4 hours snorkelling excursion to the Puerto Morelos. The team was young and enthusiastic, very professional. The equipment was excellent. I am not a good swimmer or confident in the sea but I felt quite comfortable with them. We dove twice, once for about 45mn, the second time maybe for 20? It was a bit short but a lot of folks were getting tired. It was probably a good call. We saw a turtle, a ray, numerous small barracudas and a lot of nice colourful fish. They advertise 4 hours but it was three for us. We used the spare time to visit Puerto Morelos, which is quite charming (beware of scammers and pick pockets, which are fairly brazen). It offers a few shops with more refined and authentic souvenirs. Strongly recommended.

    Thank you for taking the time to write such a sweet review it really does mean the world to us! I am sorry for the confusion on the 4 hours, I cant see where it says that, I only see 2 hours on my end maybe it was for another company? Feel free to contact me on info@wetset.com to assist me to correct. Hope to see you again soon Felicity and the Wet Set team

    We had a group of 8, including 4 children ages ranging from 5-11 and we had an amazing time. The prices listed on the website were completely transparent. They responded quickly to emails, and we were able to book a trip with the "Wizard" with just a few days notice. We saw amazing fish, and I even got to see a squid use it's camouflage to blend in with an anchor rope. They were super understanding when the kids needed a break, took us to multiple spots, and the guide ended up pulling my wife along for most of the trip because she's not a strong swimmer. I would recommend the "Classic" snorkeling trip for any family, and wish we would have done the trip earlier in the week so we could have went back and done the scuba diving with the owner. Absolutely amazing, a "once in a life time" event, and will definitely book them for our next Cancun vacation.

    Another great snorkeling trip with Wet Set diving. I have done scuba and snorkeling trips with them in the past and they are always super professional, safe, friendly, easy to travel with. There were three kids on the boat (including my 8 year old) and the waters were choppy so they asked us all if we wanted to combine the two stops into one long one to make it easier- which was smart. Everyone agreed so we did an hour straight. Sting rays, barracudas, Sea Turtles and schools of blue and yellow fish. Our two guides kept a close eye on everyone including the kids. I'm an experienced diver but it was a little extra pulling my daughter along- they made it easy, safe and comfortable. This area is one of the best places to go snorkeling in the the Maya Riviera as it is an open bio reserve right off the beach. The reef is a quick and easy five minute boat ride from the shore. Whether you are experienced snorkeler/diver or a first timer I would always skip the big tours and third party vendors and go straight to Wet Set. It's an easy drive in a rental car or taxi, great prices and the town of Puerto Morelos is a terrific place to hang out for the day with many restaurant options from the hip and cool to the classic seaside beach spots. Wet Set is five stars hands down. Also highly recommend for scuba trips as well.

    This was an amazing experience. We wanted a small group experience for safety reasons and this was a great choice. The ocean can be very strong here and our guide (Ivan) and captain (Marco) watched over each of the people on this tour like hawks! They caught one of eight in our group drifting off and were quick to notice and bring him back into view.

    This tour was top notch all the way.

    We did not want a booze cruise - we just wanted to snorkel and see fish. There was NO drinking. So it was all snorkeling time! We saw tons of fish. At times I would say 30-50 fish in one spot. Ivan took us along many reef points and pointed out fish along the way to us.

    They had all you needed, the gear, water to shower off with at the end, dry towel and even a small bottle water and snack.

    Top notch all the way. Would highly recommend this tour and Ivan and Marco! Great experience. Never forget it.

    I love everything about Wet Set. The people couldn't be kinder, more supportive, and thoughtful. They make sure that you have everything that you need, know their stuff, and create an atmosphere of comfort and curiosity. The wildlife is stunning. Rodrigo was our guide, and was the very very best. He was attentive to our group of four, engaging, kind and so interesting. Whether experienced or first timer, you can't go wrong with this group.

    Our family of 4 did the classic snorkel tour that included two 45 minute snorkeling spots. The area is beautiful. We saw a ton of cool fish, and our tour guide Christopher was fantastic. Very nice and informational. We went with our 6 year old daughter and 10 year old son, and they loved the experience. I would highly recommend this excursion for anyone that wants to have a fun time and see some amazing reefs and sea life.

    I was skeptical based on the very reasonable price compared to other snorkle tours I've been on, but we had a great time. Took my 5 kids on the 2 hour snorkel trip. My 3 older kids had gone before, 2 of which are adults. My 2 youngest are 7 and 11 and have never snorkeled. The guides did a great job of showing them how and checking on them throughout. We saw 2 turtles and my youngest was thrilled to swim right above a turtle. Had none of the things I disliked about larger tours I've been on. Only 10 people in our group so it was easy to follow the guide and see what they were pointing out. Boat trip was really short between each reef and back. Probably a total of 20 minutes on the boat between going out, between reefs, and heading back. They even called us a cab back to our hotel when my planned transportation fell through. Overall a great tour highly recommend, especially for families.

    We recently did the classic snorkeling trip with Wet Set. This trip takes a group on a 2 hour snorkeling tour with 2 x 45 minute snorkel sessions at different sites on the reef. All equipment was provided and before we left we were given an overview of what we might see. The boat ride to the locations is only 5 minutes, and we followed our guide through the reef where he pointed out various fish and species of coral. Importantly, they have two guides with buoys who were always visible, and for those less confident you could hang onto these and be guided around the reef by the guides, so it was enjoyable for all abilities. I would thoroughly recommend this as a way to see one of the greatest reefs in the world.

    There were 8 people on our trip which the guide said was a large group. It was very manageable from our perspective.

    We were offered shorty or full wet suits for sun protection. The guide fitted everyone with fins and masks and checked several times to be sure everything fit and everyone was comfortable.

    Moises was the boat captain and the trip out was a quick ten minutes. We were briefed on how to safely enter and exit the water, respect the coral and fish, and a description of where we would go.

    We saw a lot of brain coral, Staghorn coral, and many tropical fish during two 40 minute dives. Between dives we were offered a small bottle of water and granola bar.

    Back on shore we rinsed with fresh water shooting from a small pipe. There is nowhere at the shop to change clothes so they have an agreement with the bar/restaurant next door to use the bathroom.

    All in all it was a great value and we would go with Wet Set again.
