I had an absolutely fantastic experience with this dive center. From the very beginning, booking my course was quick and uncomplicated and the communication was always smooth and friendly. A very special thanks goes to Ruben, who truly made all the difference in my diving journey. He took so much time for me, patiently guiding me through every step. I needed a bit longer with some parts of the training, but Ruben was always kind, encouraging and determined to find a solution that worked for me. He explained everything clearly and showed me more than once when needed. Thanks to his supportive approach, I was able to overcome my initial fears and gain real confidence underwater. In the end, I successfully completed my Scuba Diver certification and was able to fully enjoy the dives, even after some challenges. I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor or a more positive experience. I highly recommend this dive school to anyone, especially if you’re looking for a professional, patient, and genuinely caring team that will make you feel safe and excited to dive! 🌊🤿

PADI eLearning lets you access the material for one year, plus gain unlimited access to an online version of the course manual. This takes away from the need for a classroom and can be completed where you feel most comfortable, either while on vacation or before leaving home. You can also complete it here starting the day before the course. Once you complete your eLearning you will have 2 mornings of confined water practice. Then, after confined water practice in the morning, you will go to do your open water dives in the afternoon. Over the two days, you will experience dives in some world-class dive sites including MUSA. MUSA (Underwater Museum of Art) is in the waters surrounding Cancun and Isla Mujeres and has over 500 life-size sculptures used to promote coral life. Within 3 days you can have your PADI Open Water Diver Course completed and start your adventures in diving.

There are experiences and people that will forever remain engraved in my memory from this one-year journey through the Americas. Getting my PADI Open Water certification in Isla Mujeres with Pocna Center is definitely one of them. Our instructor, Ruben , was simply outstanding. With endless patience for my slow learning pace and countless mistakes, he managed to guide me, encourage me, and push me to never give up. Absorbing so much information in just two days felt impossible for me , but Ruben never gave up and rose to the challenge. He shared his passion with incredible energy while making us fully aware of the potential dangers of diving. Zero tolerance when it came to not understanding survival skills—which is exactly what makes beginners feel safe and gain the serenity needed to truly enjoy diving. If I managed to pass, then anyone can! Honestly, I think I was Ruben’s worst nightmare as a student. Saint Ruben—thank you from the bottom of my heart (and sorry!!) Also, Ruben is fantastic with teenagers and kids: my 15-year-old daughter understood everything immediately thanks to his top-notch teaching skills. The whole team is lovely, the equipment excellent, and the dive sites absolutely exceptional. On every future dive, we’ll think of Ruben and try to honor the impeccable quality of his teaching!

Our experience was amazing for beginners. Underwater life was captivating and especially our instructor Rubén was very patient and professional with us. He is passionate about diving and has passed on this passion to us! He also put us in confidence from the beginning and it is thanks to this that our certification went well. We could not have asked for better. I recommend 100%
