Our experience with Blue Magic Scuba has been amazing and we would definitely come back (plus we loved the reusable blue magic scuba bottles we got on the first day)! We got a package for 5 days of scuba diving and throughout the week we also added a night dive. The 'valet experience' is how it is described - perfect. It was our first time using our new equipment so we asked Javi to look over it before our first dive and he was more than happy to do that. This was also during the covid time so we were little wary but everything was clean, people were wearing masks and we really felt comfortable.
Everyone in the team is extremely professional and competent, captains and dive masters (and we always felt they had our back 100%). Thank you to the entire team - especially to Myl who was truly an incredible dive master! Hopefully we will be back soon!!

Excited to learn to scuba dive, but not without trepidation and anxiety. Therefore, I read numerous reviews of several dive schools in Cozumel . Ultimately I chose Blue Magic Dive School because of the consistent positive reviews. My experience over the next three days in the PADI open water dive course was beyond anything I could have hoped for. My instructor Monica, prioritized safety, education and fun. Her experience included thousands of dives all over the world, not just the Caribbean. I believe this enormous amount of experience translated into her ability to answer all of my questions and relate the skills to real scenario application.
I had the opportunity to meet the owner, Yuli, who also possessed vast experience diving all over the world. He and Monica are not only master rated divers but also possess the highest rated instructor title. I would recommend the school for anyone, whether a beginner or an advanced diver looking for increased coursework. Their professionalism and experience is beyond reproach!

We had a group of 5 experienced divers and 3 first time divers that wanted to dive together and Blue Magic made it happen rather flawlessly. We were on a cruise so time was a challenge but not for our day in the ocean. We were able to walk from the cruise dock to their location and after fitting us with equipment we were off to the boat. The discover divers went with Jesus, and the others went with Raoul. We did a drift dive while they did the skill check and then we got new tanks and had some fresh fruit then went out and all 8 of us dove together. When I come back to Cozumel Blue Magic will be a contact I will make again. Thanks for an enjoyable day in the ocean.

My brother and I from the states got our Open Water certification here. We got trained by Jesús, who was a fantastic guide! Very good at communicating underwater and above, speaking English, Spanish, and French, and just easy going and eager to help you figure out the art. I very much recommend him.
In general, a good experience with admin. But at the end, they sent my PADI certification card to the wrong country and I'm going to have to pay $30 to get a replacement card, even though the admin and I explicitly talked about which address was the right one (I live in South America) and they didn't really want to do anything to clear it up. So a little sloppy on the admin side and unwilling to follow up.

I can't imagine a better place to have learnt to dive than Blue Magic Cozumel.
I went with two other other friends to get our PADI Open Water certification. The reception we received when we arrived was warm and friendly. They are extremely professional in their approach to diving and they clearly have a love and respect for diving.
The best part was our teacher Myl. She made the whole 4 day process - which requires pretty hard work - enjoyable and fun. We were a group of 4 beginners and not the easiest group. I was pretty nervous going into it and not sure I would manage the full course. Myl had heaps of patience and by the end we could all dive confidently and with ease. She is a great teacher, we had an amazing dive, and I would absolutely recommend Blue Magic to anyone wanting to learn how to dive.

I did my open water certification with Bluemagic Suba and it was great.
My trainer Scott Raper was a really nice & funny guy and made sure that he drilled some good practices w.r.t safety and made sure I dont forget them. He was also assisted with another expert Ranata who was helping him attain the Dive Master and she was awesome too. Basically I got 2 trainers training me and it was a great experience. Scott is a really funny dude and I would recommend getting your certification under him as he will keep you entertained with his funny wit & humor.
Overall, I would recommend Bluemagic for their professionalism , punctuality and good facilities.
My only feedback to BlueMagic is to get better & newer equipment because the equipment was pretty old (the fins & snorkel were terrible).

Hello Amit.
Thank you for your kind words. We always try to stress safety to the new divers we train in a fun way. Serious fun. We are glad you like the course, and we hope you keep diving with your friend Ram. Welcome to the diving community.
We always try to keep our rental gear in perfect using conditions, so I will check personally the gear you were using to see if he needs to be fixed or replaced. Thank you for the feedback.
I hope we dive together in the future again.
Happy bubbles!

The entire staff is super helpful and friendly. Ari is the best! She made the entire process so easy and fun. I highly recommend doing at least a 3-day package, as there is so much to see, far more than you can see in only 2 dives. If you are an advanced diver, I highly recommend doing a few dives with them, and then request Devil's Throat or Catedral, absolutely stunning! Can't wait to go back

Let me start by saying that I research locations for my dive instructor.. Javi was the only one who took the time to read and answer my initial email Then he spent 8 hours the next day dealing with all of my questions. I was in.. arriving in the end of February I have been here until the 13th of July.. this place has truly become a second home. Javi and Monica are fantastic knowledgeable instructors when it came to my Dive Master and Open Water Scuba Instructor. Then you have all of the other instructors... Lauren Renata Mauricio Abraham Michelle & Myl. All of them have taken their time and have taught me so much Then behind the scenes you have Fernando Arianna & Miguel who all work tirelessly to make sure that your experience at Blue Magic is above the best. The dive boats here are small and fast with the guides listening to what the customers want to do. As instructors they do not cut corners so your training from discover scuba diving all the way to IDC Staff instructor is the best that it can be and they stress safety above all else along with fun. Javi the course director here is the only one on this island that fir the last three years every student that has started his IDC has passed the testing in the first time through Blue Magic lives up to its name it’s definitely a magical place to be and to learn. They have truly become a family

I did the open water diving course with Blue Magic. I stayed at their hostel but shopped around looking at other shops but ultimately decided to go with this shop after speaking to the community staying there.
I was incredibly impressed with the curriculum which was proper and felt legitimate.
The instructor (Myl) was spunky, fun, and kept us motivated on long days. I felt safe and was aware that no parts of the course were skipped and no corners were cut.
The Dive master instructors (Vivi & Scott) were excellent and very professional. Vivi’s skill demonstrations were very calm and controlled, reflective of her extensive diving experience.

My family and I had a great week of diving with Blue Magic Diving a couple of weeks ago. Yuval, Ariana, and the staff that work behind the scenes, make the diving a memorable experience. Each day the Blue Magic team transport, set-up, tear down, and rinse the gear. That’s valet service. Our dive guide this trip was Mauricio and boat captain Pato were excellent. We had excellent dives. We stayed in the suites above the dive shop downtown. They come fully furnished which gives us a choice of eating in or out. We also enjoy the rooftop patio area, especially at twilight over looking the water and the lights from the mainland. We are repeat divers with Blue Magic and highly recommend them.
