  • Great experience

    Weve been open water divers for many years but don’t dive a lot compared to others. We decided to do a refresh and a Deep Dive theory class in addition to diving on MUSA, a deep dive and a drift dive. Our instruction was very good and the equipment was also good. Denni gave very professional instruction and I felt completely safe with him as a dive master. Additionally the boat captain and crew were helpful and professional

  • Evening, morning and afternoon dive

    We dived with Ruben (morning dive) and Tito (evening dive and afternoon dive) as instructor and that was just top arranged. From the first contact everything went smoothly: clear explanations, good preparation and everything tightly organized. Ruben is relaxed, takes his time and radiates peace and confidence — exactly what you want underwater. This makes you feel comfortable quickly and you can really enjoy the dive. Material was in order, guidance professional and the atmosphere pleasant. In short: no downsides to think of. We would book here again without a doubt and absolutely recommend IDC Pocna. Thank you on our behalf 🙏👍🏼

  • Best crew epic experience

    From the ease of booking online, paying online and most importantly the very prompt replies for the many emails I wrote working out details for my family. Me and my 2 sons wanted a private boat and asked if my non diver husband could tag along and snorkel while the 3 of us went diving at the national park at Isla. From the time we arrived at the beautiful dive shop and palapa until we checked out, Rueben our dive master and Lalo our snorkeling guide and photographer/video. Both were the best we ever experienced. Equipment was excellent and we were perfectly outfitted. We were treated like royalty. Headed out to 2 reef dives on a beautiful day. It is apparent the Mexican national park take their conservation efforts seriously. Reefs were thriving with great indication of elk horn coral abundant. Ruben is a true professional taking extra care of us at every step. A passionate pro and all around awesome human who loves what he does and led us to giant sea turtle munching away, close up covey of lobsters sword fighting, lion and puffer fish and beautiful corals and reef fish of all types. The sculptures are also majestic. Tony our boat captain was fun and professional. Lalo provided watermelon and delicious cookies in between dives. He is an avid free diver and his photography captured memories for a life time and guided hubby from top. Bonus- Affordable great diving with a beach view from shop and swing bar next door to hang out and grab a celebratory drink and quacamole to end the perfect day.

    Absolutely fantastic week diving with these folks! We saw so much sea life. Our guides (Lalo, Tyto, Denny) were fabulous. The night dive was also very memorable. Highly recommend these folks! Reasonably priced and top-notch!

  • Two day private dive with Ruben at Pocna Dive

    The Pocna office did a great job coordinating our private dives for two days. Even picked us up from the hotel dock. We had Ruben as our instructor helping us gear up and explain the local underwater museum. Our captain Beto was very reliable navigating the surface keeping us safe. It’s a must for certified and non certified divers looking for a fun early morning adventure. My wife is not certified and it was very easy for her to do a 30min intro discovery lesson and we were off to the ocean.

    We dove with Solo Buceo. 2 tank dives to a reef and Musa gallery. It was beautiful. Saw lots of eels, turtles, barracuda and lobsters. The statues were very cool. Water was warm, we didn't need wetsuits. And was a nice 30 min boat ride to the dive spots. Very enjoyable day.

  • A very good afternoon of diving with Tito

    This is a review of a two-tank dice within the national park off of Isla Mujeres. My guide was Tito, and the snorkelers had Lallo (captain Beto piloted the small boat): everything was pretty perfect. A beautiful couple of dives at just the right pace and depth. We saw a lot and conditions were very good. I especially appreciate the fact that they accommodated my last-minute request to join the group for a dive. Thank you!

  • Muse was too much
