5.00Definitely ask for Tyto and Lalo for divemasters! It will make all the difference. They definitely enjoy their jobs (not all the divemasters seemed to). Had two incredible dives and good bottom time. Lots to see and Tyto is the sea whisperer! Want a ray? Here you go! Want to just chill with a sea turtle? How about two? Want a nurse shark swimming around you? No problem!
Abundant fish and sculptures.

5.00My son and I dove with Solo Buceo in the Sotavento hotel and yacht club. Jaime was a great guide for us. This was my sons first dive in 7 months so the shallow depths were nice for a review. We had 4 other divers in the boat but they were doing a discover scuba experience so or dive was private. Lots of really interesting sculptures and loads of fish species. I would recommend this for anyone wanting a chill dive.
Great experience

5.00The refresher was worth it, in my opinion. The two dives to the reefs were done very well by Ruben and the experience very nice. I would book like that every time.
Outstanding, safe, dive experience in Isla Mujeres!

5.00We booked our dives with Vanessa and right from the start she was responsive, helpful and kind to work with. She made good suggestions based on our experience and was patient answering all of our questions. We ended up doing a refresher course prior to our dive and were so glad we did! Our refresher course and the two dives we did following were with Ruben and he was outstanding! His focus on safety and making sure everyone felt confident getting in the water was above and beyond, and there wasn’t a single minute anyone felt uncomfortable. He helped with our gear, led us on two really spectacular dives, and made the whole experience a lot of fun. We have already booked another day of diving with these guys as we had such a great time! Highly, highly recommend! And a bonus was that they helped arrange a golf cart for us!! These guys are awesome!
Awesome day

5.00This was my fourth time diving with Pocna, and it was another wonderful trip. I brought my wife for an Advanced Open Water course, as well as some friends that wanted to try a Discovery Dive. Vanessa and Yami both helped me make all of the arrangements, and our instructor Ruben and captain Beto made all the dives go flawless. I'm happy to say I now have another 7 dives in the books with Pocna, and I look forward to visiting again. My only complaint last year was the rental gear seemed a little tired. This year we arrived to see the dive shop loaded with all brand new gear! Love Isla Mujeres, and love diving with Pocna!
Truly unreal and memorable.

5.00I’ve been diving for 30 years and my experience with PocNa was by far the most enjoyable to date. The health of the reef has improved so much. But the jewel of the Nile was Ruben. He trained my two sons (aged 12 and 10) for their first ever ocean dives. His enthusiasm, compassion, and ability to inspire responsible diving to respect the marine life was truly amazing. They are now lifelong divers because of him. We can’t wait to come back in 2027 to dive with Ruben and PocNa! Llevo 30 años buceando y mi experiencia con PocNa ha sido, sin duda, la más placentera hasta la fecha. La salud del arrecife ha mejorado muchísimo. Pero la joya del Nilo fue Rubén. Entrenó a mis dos hijos (de 12 y 10 años) para sus primeras inmersiones en el mar. Su entusiasmo, compasión y capacidad para inspirar el buceo responsable y respetuoso con la vida marina fueron realmente asombrosos. Ahora son buceadores de toda la vida gracias a él. ¡Estamos deseando volver en 2027 para bucear con Rubén y PocNa!
Great experience

5.00Weve 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
An afternoon in crystal clear waters
