So incredible!! - My boyfriend and I booked this for our time at Costa Maya while on a carnival cruise. We both had zero scuba experience going into it, and felt very safe and well equipped after the class. Our guide/instructor sebastian was amazing!! He was so good at explaining and demonstrating the techniques. We were very happy with the group size, it was only us and one other person. We were accompanied by sebastian and a dive master who both made us feel really safe while at the coral reef. I got quite nervous when we started the dive and took several attempts to make it more than a few feet under. But sebastian was very patient and coached me while the other descended with the dive master (I can’t remember her name but she was really great too). After a few minutes of coaching and encouragement I was able to make it to the bottom and I absolutely loved exploring the reef upclose. A few logistics things for anyone coming from the Costa Maya port: It is $5/person for the taxi so bring cash. This booking is in local time so keep that in mind. We were in no rush getting to the excursion or back to the boat and it worked out great. It was an experience like to no other and we highly recommend.

Great place to hang out whether you are driving or not - Sebastian was amazing as our guide! We were in extreme rough, waters with first time divers, and it went off without a hitch. Also located at a great location with many many restaurants and vendors.. even if you don’t dive, it’s a great place to hang out all day!

Great Excursion - Great experience! Sea Bass was awesome! He was very knowledgeable and patient. The seas were pretty rough when we went but other than that it was beautiful!

Great place for the first time - I’m AOWD but last dive is from 2010. I took my family to try diving. This was just perfect place for us. We felt safe and secure from the start. Seabass and Daniela took so good care of our 10 and 11 year old girls. They understand a little English but instructions were very slow and understandable to them and we guide our kids to wonderful world of diving.

Amazing for first time Scuba diver - Sebastian was fantastic, patiently explaining each step and ensuring everyone understood the procedures. I faced a few challenges—my mask leaked, my weight belt was too loose, and my ears hurt—but Sebastian calmly helped me resolve each issue. Eventually, I reached the bottom and enjoyed a magical 40 minutes swimming and floating among vibrant tropical fish. Just do it. You will be in good hands.

An amazing and unmatched experience! - Diving in Mahahual with Offshore Diving was an incredible and unforgettable experience. From the beginning, the whole team was very professional, friendly and attentive, which made me feel safe and comfortable at all times. The dive site was spectacular, with crystal clear water, beautiful corals and a variety of marine life. We saw turtles, goldfish and others. Without a doubt, you can see the passion and love for the sea in every detail. If you are in Mahahual and want to live something unique, I recommend diving with them.

Amazing! - These guys were awesome! I am scuba certified but my husband, father, and daughter are not. This was the perfect excursion for us so we could all dive together. You have a guide with you the whole time. They are super professional and extremely patient. You watch video and go over the basics of scuba first. Then they take you in the shallow water to practice using your equipment. You do one 45 minute-ish dive. If you’re thinking of getting scuba certified or just want to try it out this is the excursion for you!
