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!

There was a mixup about the meeting point ( who knew there were to Juanito Benito statues in Cozumel) but Tania, our cool and guide found us and we began our cooking adventure. The experience was excellent. Tania was delightful. The food was amazing. Great flavorful drinks. Fun to be in the market to get the produce and meat we needed for lunch. Very reasonable price.

It is a unique show, I recommend it, it is worth living a unique experience, excellent food and drinks, first class.

Great experience! We learned a lot and did our own chocolate. The combination with wine was great and an experience

Perfecto. Tania es excelente guía; pasamos un día espectacular. Recomendado 100%
