About Me

My name is Tony and I am the owner/operator of ScubaTony Cozumel. I used to be a police officer in Los Angeles California and one day I learned to scuba dive. It took me about a month to learn that there was more to life than being a cop in L.A. 5 months later I quit my job and went on walkabout. After my travels I landed here in Cozumel and started working and diving. I didn’t know anything about the island nor did I have any friends here but it took me less than a week to fall in love with this island and its people. It is truly paradise here and the diving is some of the best in the world. It is the ideal place to learn to dive and keep coming back once you get hooked like me.

Since my first Open Water Certification I have been diving every chance I get. I love the warm clear waters of Cozumel and have experience in lakes, rivers, caves, caverns, and many of the oceans and seas of the planet. I enjoy warm water and cold, salt and fresh in all kinds of conditions. I am a certified PADI instructor and can teach many specialties (including Nitrox). I am also a certified cave diver and cavern guide.

I believe that passion for something makes you a better teacher. Diving is something I am truly excited about and I am sure that you will be too. There is no way you could truly know the world underwater unless you have lived and breathed below the surface. I look forward to showing you the world below the waves and know that you will become intrigued with this incredible environment too.
