A lasting memento
Be sure to ask how to get a DVD or photographs of your dive experience.

My husband and I have taken several Resort Courses so we could dive without going through the complete certification process. Scuba Fred's was by far the best ever! It was very clear and complete. The practice time in the pool with Fred was very reassuring and built our confidence! The two dives were fun and relaxing. Alfredo and Fernando were our Dive Masters and they were incredible!!!

While visiting Cancun, myself and a friend decided to go Scuba Diving with Scuba Fred's... After completing a medical form, Alfredo informed my friend that he would not be able to do his first dive ever because of a prior heart surgery. I was very surprised that they didn't just take our money and let my friend go but to actually turn down a customer due to safety reasons. That says to me that Scuba Fred's is a top class operation. They refunded the $20.00 to my friend and gave him a ride back to the hotel. I continued with the dive (2 tanks) and was very impressed with the safety precautions demonstrated by the employees... I would highly recommend Scuba Fred's.

The first dive was at the underwater museum, absolutely AMAZING!!! at the coral reef, which was also stunningly beautiful, we swam alongside a turtle and saw lots of tropical fish. our trainer was alongside the whole time taking GREAT snap shots of me and my partner, which after we purcahsed at a very reasonable price. overall our experience was 110% FANTASTIC and much MUCH more!!
