Scuba Tony is thenbest company I've had the honor to dive with. You seriously cannot go wrong. Highly recommend to all levels of divers. I've done almost 80 dives with Scuba Tony over 7 years. Everyone was excellent in every area.

More great dives. Always fun and professional. We always felt very safe and cared for. Our third time with scuba tony. We got to experience lots of different dive masters, new dive sites, and great marine life. No issues with gear and we didn’t let a little rain or hurricane get us down!

We dove with Scuba Tony in September 2020. Did four dives with them over two days. Fantastic crew -- Israel was awesome. Easily some of the best dives we've ever done. Very professional crew who picked us up at our hotel. They know how to take care of people and make sure things are safe. Will definitely return and would highly recommend them.

Scuba Tony was perfection. Small groups, fast boats, so more time enjoying the diving and not bumping into other divers. The captains and dive instructors were all very friendly, helpful and easy to communicate with. Always felt very safe. Papo id a great, helpful, knowledgeable captain who makes great guacamole. I’m usually a bit of a wanderer, but I stayed pretty glued to Miguel bc he has eagle eyes. He found so many octopi, sea turtles and even a handful of sharks including a hammerhead! Everyone else was great including customer service. They were very flexible with the schedule, equipment, nitrox certification, dive sites.

I would give Scuba Tony a one thousand star rating if I could!! They are the epitome of perfection. They’re staff is so welcoming that you feel like family the first day. They’re team is knowledgeable and safe. They’re captains know where literally EVERYTHING is. I would recommend them to anyone!! I wish that all businesses I encountered had the level of customer service that Scuba Tony has!!

Tour was an amazing experience and our instructor Daniel was amazing!! He made the dives feel safe and fun! We went on 2 dives and had the boat to ourselves. They only take a small group typically. Thanks Daniel for showing us a good time!!

Dove with them in the past and enjoyed the experience. When I arrived in Cozumel, this week I arranged a dive with someone at the airport. It work out fine but they were unprofessional. Never asked for my certification or to sign a waiver. Was going to dive with them again and they texted me a change in schedule at exactly the time I was to be picked up! That was enough and I contacted Scuba Tony. Did 4 dives on the schedule I wanted, staff was great, Cris was dive master on all of them and was also great! Turtles on every dive : ) Next time, Scuba Tony from the start.

The only reason I would return to Cozumel is to dive with Scuba Tony. Buy the photo and video package. Get the private boat. They start earlier than the other companies, which means really experiencing the dive, not crowded or waiting in line with other divers. The photos and video are spectacular! The customer service in person, via email...all excellent. I loved them! We saw almost every marine creature we er wanted to see in 2 days of diving with them.

I have been diving for 50 years - since USN dive school in 1971. I just returned from Cozumel and had a great week with Scuba Tony. Great staff, super organized and the entire experience was outstanding. Small fast boats and small dive groups combined with their fun staff makes for a great trip.
In Cozumel there are so many dozens of dive shops... I won't dive with anyone other than Scuba Tony on future trips. Check them out !!

Olá! Boa noite! Meu nome é Marco Rio Branco, estarei em Cancún no mês de março e gostaria muito de mergulhar em Cozumel. Já mergulhei uma vez no Brasil, porém ainda não possuo certificado. Qual mergulho eu poderia fazer, que eu aproveitasse o máximo a vida marinha do local? Você me aconselharia a fazer o curso Open Water? Quais os valores, por gentileza? Obrigado! Espero vê-los em breve

Hello do you visit the cenotes dive sites on the mainland? We really want to be based on Cozumel for 10 days but also want a dive over in one of the cenotes.
Thanks
Written July 31, 2020
All of the Cenotes are in the Yucatán Peninsula which is easily accessible via the ferry to Playa Del Carmen. There are various tour operators once you get off the ferry or you can be adventurous and rent a car and drive to them. Very easy to find, right off Rt. 307.

I have two questions:
1. We have two certified divers that will be on the boat and an extra person just along for the boat ride. How much would it be for two divers and one extra passenger?
2. We are in Cozumel on a Celebrity Cruise. If we booked the 1:00 PM excursion would we be back to the ship by 3:30?
Written February 28, 2020
Not sure about question #1 but question #2 would be a "Probably Not". Their 2 dive excursions usually go 4 hours or so between getting to the reef, orientation, dive of 45 minutes, 1 hour break in between dives and then second dive. HOWEVER, if you reach out to them directly, they are known for working with cruise ship passengers to get a start time that'll work. I would encourage to email them because they really are the best down here. Hope that helps...

Do you pick your guests up from hotel and bring them back? Not sure where we are staying yet.
Written December 9, 2019
Your question posted to me not Tony’s team... Yes, there are certain hotels they will pick you up at. There is more info on their site under FAQ - look under the logistics tab.
(I tried to include the link but trip advisor blocks html posts.)
Or email them directly, they are very friendly :) (Again, the email address link was blocked)

Hi!
I and my wife are not PADI-certified (and not proficient swimmers), although we have dived before two times. We would like to dive with ScubaToby during our upcoming trip to Mexico. Is the 2 tank dive for certified divers? How different is it versus Discover Scuba dive in terms of seeing marine life?
Which one would you recommend for us given we have already tried diving previously?
Thanks,
Written February 10, 2019
Hi TravelerGeek25,
Thank you for your inquiry, we would definitely recommend you to do the Discover Scuba Dives, while you decide to go for that Certification!
We will take you to a beautiful and colorful reef, full of coral and marine life in general. Please visit our website and send us an email, I will be happy to provide you with full and detailed information.

How do I find out cost? Book a trip? Thanks!

You can simply go to our website or email us - which I cannot post on this thread due to TripAdvisor guidelines
Written June 27, 2018
there will be 4 of us, but we only snorkel...do you book those trips?
Written June 26, 2018
We are solely a dive operation. I know TripAdvisor can be confusing as it lists dive operations with snorkeling and fishing charters.
We have no recommendations for a snorkeling tour either. Our last people we referred did not live up to our expectations as a service provider.
If you are interested in trying scuba diving we can do a Discover Scuba for non-certified divers. If not, no worries! Just thought we'd let you know.
Please email us for more information.
Have a wonderful time on your trip if we don't see you!
