4 Isla Mujeres Scuba Diving Worth Booking

1.Scuba diving at MUSA the underwater museum for certified divers

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 102 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $135Our pick

Meet Pocna Dive Center in central Isla Mujeres for a five-hour, two-tank scuba trip to MUSA and Manchones reef. Certified divers receive equipment, fruit, and water, with groups capped at 10. Guides such as Pepe and Danni are especially attentive, and an underwater light can help you spot marine life among the statues.

“The MUSA was fun, but the majority of the dive is to get to the statues and back. I would have loved more time looking into more detail instead of the the journey to there and back. I would also advise to let people know that a dive light would be beneficial on this tour so you can really see all the life dwelling. The dive boat was barely a dive boat, but the instructor cared a lot and if anyone works with Ponca dive center, Danni is truly kind and attentive.”
