We welcome our divers into our family in Mahahual as we strive to become leaders in environmental awareness.

When you dive with us, you dive with purpose!

If you have not been diving for a while and would like to spend some time reviewing your skills with an instructor, we recommend that you take a refresher session before jumping straight back into the water! This will help you to get the most out of your fun dives during your time with us and you will feel more confident being back in the water.

What’s included?

We will do a review of basic dive theory and safety procedures, based on the Open Water Diver course, followed by skills review in shallow water with one of our dive professionals. Time spent on skills will depend on your experience and comfort levels.

Following the skills review session, there is the option to head straight out to the reef to enjoy 1 or 2 nice easy dives!
