The experience was great. The crew is friendly, timely and helpful. Raul was easy to talk to and get answers from. We had Fernando, Lola, and three others as part of the crew. The ceviche was really delicious (I had two bowls) and the drinks were also great. I didn’t see as many fish as I would have wanted and the coral reef is not as colorful as I had imagined, but that is not the tour operator’s fault. We humans have polluted the oceans and that has resulted in damage to the reefs and marine life. All in all it was a very fun experience, though, and I’m glad we did it!

Came in late July/early august 2022 on a cruise ship. Miguel was our server and he was wonderful, ask for him!! The food here is so good, I recommend the chicken tenders. They make a good Long Island iced tea. Miguel came around often to ask if we needed anything. This place is all inclusive so we definitely took advantage, lol. The pool is warm, which was nice because it was a gloomy day and rained a bit. We really liked it here and would absolutely come back.

It’s not common to go under water in a submarine, so I would say this is a special and unforgettable experience for a civilian who just want to visit the marine world. The diving starts close to Chankanaab reef area and it’s great! The tour is guided in English and Spanish. Could be an alternative for those who don’t dive with personal equipment or a relaxed experience for those who do. We had a great time!

There was a mixup about the meeting point ( who knew there were to Juanito Benito statues in Cozumel) but Tania, our cool and guide found us and we began our cooking adventure. The experience was excellent. Tania was delightful. The food was amazing. Great flavorful drinks. Fun to be in the market to get the produce and meat we needed for lunch. Very reasonable price.

It is a unique show, I recommend it, it is worth living a unique experience, excellent food and drinks, first class.
