Cozumel Scuba Diving

Several years ago I discovered Scuba Tony and dived nearly 30 times with them in one summer and even invited my best friend for a diving trip. This year we had a family trip to Cancun at Club Med, which is a several hour trek to get to Cozumel. But after looking at other options to take my two youngest daughters to “Experience Scuba”, I knew there was NO ONE other than Scuba Tony that I would trust to give them an amazing view into the world of scuba diving. And I was not disappointed, Manu was their dive master and he was so awesome in the way he instructed, had a good time, yet was always mindful of their safety. One daughter was so excited, she said she was going to change her college major to Marine Biology after surfacing. Thank you Scuba Tony once again for being such a professional organization - I would choose you over and over.

Diving with ScubaTony was an absolute blast. The diving masters are super super chill and fun, and they will make sure absolutely everyone on the boat has an incredible time. The boat is small and comfortable, meaning that you will enjoy your diving with very few other passengers - something we really like. The diving masters even ask you which dive sites you want to see and really do everything in their power to make your day awesome. What we also loved about the company is that they do a great deal of things to help protect the environment and the marine park around Cozumel.

A few years out of practice, I couldn’t have picked a better company to dive with in Cozumel. Any apprehensions I had about getting back in the saddle, or BCD rather, were quickly assuaged by the stellar ScubaTony team.

Not only was the entire crew exceedingly friendly and informative but also exceptionally attentive. Instructors took great care to brief divers on the sites, had our gear ready and waiting before each dive, and helped us shed our flippers and BCDs in the water to make getting back on the boat, where there were always snacks waiting, as effortless as possible. The only thing we had to worry about was enjoying the reef, an easy task in Cozumel made that much easier by ScubaTony.

Plus, the intimate boat size ensured all divers were comfortable and catered to, whether they had decades of experience or only a few dives under their belt. I would absolutely recommend ScubaTony to any and all divers headed to Cozumel — and then some!

I have never had a diving school before, which made it really their top priority to create the most enjoyable and safe diving adventure you can possibly imagine. We went out with Mark 3 times and once with Manuel who both where super nice, uplifting and supportive in every possible way. One day we went with Mark and 2 divers who brought their wifes on the boat for snorkelling. They were incredible complicated and negativ before they even stepped their feed on the boat. It took about 5 minutes until Mark had shifted their entire mood making them feel super comfortable. Haven't seen social skills and caring about costomers like that anywhere else in the world. The boat is small but really nice and comfortable. This makes the trip super personal and the divemaster as well as the captain really take care of everything. You are served with fresh fruits your personal reusable water bottle, many snacks and beverages. Even the whole equipment is beeing set up by them for your comfort, so you only need to chill and enjoy. The divemasters are super experienced and spot a 100 things you might miss on your own. We saw dozens of turtles, langustes, lionfishes and even seahorses, octopuses and sharks hiding in caves. A special recommendation is also to go for the twilight dive, which enables you to have an amazing late afternoon dive, a beautiful sunset on the boat or the island as well as a nightdive within one trip. It was truly magical.
Love to come back soon!

I had a great time at ScubaTony! The booking was smooth. I showed up without any gear and they took care of everything. The drift dives were awesome. I saw a massive turtle! Manu, Marc, and Papo are rad! They are great hosts that made the time on the boat fun and they had fresh fruit and chilled water. I highly recommend ScubaTony

Seriously, these guys KNOW what they are doing and they make your diving experience fun and much more interesting than your typical dive shop.

I've been diving for over 20 years now, and I have to say that the guys at ScubaTony are among the most professional I've ever dived with.

I want to give a HUGE shoutout to Mark, the divemaster I did six of the eight dives with, as he was extremely professional but also very flexible with us and a whole load of fun at the same time. You don't find this type of divemasters all the time. Israel was my other divemaster and he was also excellent!

While ScubaTony's boats are small (compared to other companies there) I found this to be quite fine because we were small groups (and I prefer diving in small groups). Their captains also deserve a good shoutout (Papo and Hector) as both were among the funniest people on board and always kept us fed with snacks and fruits and well hydrated.

I rented all of my equipment with them, so I can say that their diving equipment was in excellent conditions and/or new.

While I didn't do any certification with them, I'm sure they are an excellent choice for it.

Really, I give these guys a 10 out of 10!

Regarding the dive spots... there are so many and all of them are different and stunning! The Palancar Reef is such a wonderful place to dive, and the C53 wreck is also highly recommended.

Just got done with a 2 tank dive lead by Marc. Was a great time with lots of sea creatures! Turtles, sharks, rays, barracudas, lion fish, and lobsters all made an appearance and with Marc leading the way we didn’t miss any of it.

The group was small (which I loved), and the other staff including Carlos (skipper) and the owner, Adam (who joined us for the dive), were all great at what they do. Overall, very relaxed while being safe and attentive and very professional. Will be coming back for sure. 5 stars.

I’ve dived with several different shops in Thailand but this was my first time in Cozumel. I am very very glad I decided to go with ScubaTony!

This company is amazing. They make customers their #1 priority - choosing dive sites based on request and ability, taking care of all the gear, providing fresh fruit, fresh water showers and reusable water bottles, etc. I get cold while diving and either the DM or the boat captain was always right there with a jacket for me!

The boat captains and the DMs are all fabulous. It felt like a big family. I dove with Marc for most of my dives and he was the best DM I’ve yet to dive with, I really can’t say enough about him. Thorough dive briefings, attention to details/abilities/comfort levels, constantly checking in to make sure everyone was as relaxed and comfortable as possible - and a great sense of humor too! He really went above and beyond all four days I dove with him, and you can tell he really loves his job. HUGE thank you, Marc, I feel so much more comfortable in the water after the last four days. The boat captain Hector (Mago!) was also awesome! He even gave me a ride back to my hotel after the night dive, because there were no taxis left at the marina.

I really can’t sing this company’s praise highly enough. I would (and likely will) come back to Cozumel multiple times just to dive with them again.

Manu was our Dive master and Carlos was our captain. Our family of four were the only guest on the boat so that made it even better. Manu and Carlos was very patient and explained everything in great detail. My wife had panic attack and they let her snorkel on the second dive instead of scuba. I recommend NOT paying for second dive until you get there and make sure everyone wants to do it. Which if you pass the class you are probably going to want to do it.

Many thanks to the dive staff at ScubaTony for an amazing dive vacation. Adam and Paulina went out of their way to schedule our day and night dives while making us feel like we were part of the family. During our lengthy stay in Cozumel, we had the pleasure of diving with all of the divemasters at ScubaTony, and there is no way we could pick a favorite because they are all very professional and at the same time making your dive experience first rate. The boat captains, Carlos(papo), Mago, and Miguel are topnotch and take care of your every need on the boat. You can't go wrong with ScubaTony!
