5.00We did the two-tank scuba diving for beginners with my 10-year-old daughter, and it was absolutely amazing! According to her, it was the best experience of our whole trip to Acapulco. The instructor and crew were incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and attentive throughout the day. During the first dive, the instructor showed so much patience with my daughter, encouraging her every step of the way and giving her clear feedback so she could feel safe and truly enjoy the experience. The whole team was very accommodating to our requests, which made everything smooth and stress-free. We wrapped up the day with some snorkeling around La Roqueta Island, which was the cherry on top of an already unforgettable adventure. We’ll definitely be coming back to do this experience again on our next trip to Acapulco. Highly recommended!
Excellent dive instructor

5.00Super good experience here. From the initial contact Mario was very friendly and clear. And as an instructor he was super good. He explained everything calmly, gave us exercises and was patient, always with useful comments to improve. And as a guide on the dives we always feel safe. Now we want to dive more! Thanks Mario!
Great

5.00This is my best scuba diving experience so far!! Mario is very knowledgeable and really took the time to explain everything. We also got spent a lot time underwater (2 dives and 2 hrs total) which you don’t get that very often. He also picked great location for scuba. I got to see the most marine life out of all the scuba trips I’ve done. I would highly recommend SDA to anyone who’s interested in doing scuba diving in Acapulco!
Clear recommendation!

5.00It was a perfect trip - I was a complete beginner at diving and everything was explained to me in detail and well. As a beginner, you should definitely book two dives (one to learn, one to enjoy). Otherwise, don't make any plans straight after - we came back 1.5 hours later because they gave us so much time to dive :)
Unique experience

5.00We felt really save to try our very first scuba diving with Mario and his Team. Thanks to the clear water the dive was just mindblowing. Never in my life I saw so many new species in one day. Rays, sea turtles, puffer fish, sea snakes, moray eels and schools of fish in all shapes and colors. We are already addicted and look forward to the next time!
