8 tours · €58–€150 per person · ★ 4.9
Scuba diving in Cancún is shallow and close to shore, and the 8 dive trips here were picked by hand from every listing rated 4.5★ or higher. Prices run from €58 per person for a first time dive with an instructor to €150 at the top of the page. Two formats cover almost everyone: the discover scuba day for beginners, with a theory session, pool practice and two open water dives at the MUSA underwater museum and the reef; and the two tank reef dive for certified divers who bring their card and skip the lesson.
A quick way to choose: certified or not decides it, because the certified dives will not take first timers; then read what the price leaves out, since several operators charge the marine park and dock fee in cash on site, rent the wetsuit separately and skip hotel pickup. Every dive needs a health questionnaire, you must be able to swim, and you cannot fly within a day afterwards. The best reviewed Cancún scuba diving tours come first below.
