- **Discovery Scuba Diving !!** — A no licence dive package on the Puerto Morelos reefs: pool training first, then two dives with the instructor, equipment included.

- **2 Tank Reef Dive in Mexico** — A two dive reef outing for certified divers where the shop assembles, hauls and rinses your gear so you only dive, with equipment, water and fees included.
