What people are saying about San Miguel de Cozumel

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!

It was wonderful to see the reef from this perspective. My family members are scuba divers and I wanted to see what they are seeing. This experience partially fulfilled that.

Loved everything about this experience and how informative it was! This was such an unforgettable experience and I'll be sharing this with all of my friends and family!!!
