SCUBA CANCUN DIVE CENTER

Hanging out with our awesome co-workers at the office!

Happy Howard underwater!

Gracias Asociados Náuticos!

Wow! We've been around longer than the Nautical Association. Thank you for this kind message!

Today is the day!

Coming Soon! A new website with beautiful photos, lots of useful information, links that work and online booking. We'd really appreciate it if you could leave a comment below letting us know if you're looking forward to seeing our new website. TIA.

The struggle is real. Who's with me on this?

Happy divers, happy crew. Thank you for diving with us!

As divers we know that we shouldn't touch the coral, but what about kneeling or laying on the sand? Is that okay? Here are some photos of a few of the hundreds of creatures that make the ocean bed their homes. None of the marine life in these photos has the ability to bury themselves in the sand to avoid getting crushed by a fin, a knee or any other human body part.

We love it when our clients are happy!

Thank you Kristie and Steve for diving with us. We look forward to seeing you again soon!

Our 44th anniversary is right around the corner. Tell us which anniversary logo you like best in the comments.

Cancun survived hurricane Beryl relatively unscathed. There are some branches and trees down, the normal flooded streets and some residents without power. The good news is there is no tropical cyclone formation expected in the next 7 days.

Creature Feature Friday: Clownfish. We all fell in love with clownfish with the release of "Finding Nemo". Did you know there are over 30 different species of clownfish? They can range in size from 2" - 6" and come in a wide variety of colors and patterns.

Clownfish live in anemones in the Indian and Pacific oceans, as well as the Red Sea. In Fiji there is a reef site named "Circus Circus" due to the large numbers and species of clownfish living in the anemones.

In anticipation of Beryl, we moved our 4 boats to safe harbor in a better protected area in the lagoon. Four of our dedicated crew will spend the night on Scuba III and hopefully be able to move them back to the dive center tomorrow.

Happy 4th of July to all of our friends and family in the USA!

Recently, we welcomed our newest dive instructor to the Scuba Cancun family! Meet Bea (Beatrice) from the UK, but she joined us via her last job in Costa Rica. Be has been diving for 11 years (she started as a kid) and has been diving in Egypt, Belize, Thailand and Columbia.

She's very easy to identify, she's the only female on our dive staff besides Annie, and she has that wonderful British accent! Be sure to say "hello" when you see her.

Happy Canada Day to all our Canadian friends and family!

We were ready to build an ark last week as Mother Nature unleashed Tropical Storm Alberto on us. Unfortunately, Alberto was slow moving and at one point dumped 6.5" of rain in 10 hours.

As the nearby lagoons overflowed, streets flooded and wildlife looked for places to take refuge. Crocodiles (mostly small), two jaguars and lots of fish were spotted in the urban areas of Cancun.

Good news! The sun is out today, the streets are clear and we are ready to take you diving! Book your dives here: https://scubacancun.com.mx/tour-type/diving/for-certified-divers/

Dive Cancun. Dive the Cenotes. Dive Cozumel. You can do it all with Scuba Cancun.

Undercurrents, or rip currents, are powerful, narrow channels of water flowing away from the beach, cutting through waves like a river. Rip currents can quickly pull even the strongest swimmers out to deeper waters, posing a significant risk to beachgoers unaware of their presence.

Look out the balcony of your hotel before you head to the beach to see if you can spot a rip current. To ensure your safety and that of your family, swim near the lifeguard stand. Children should never be in the ocean without and adult

If you get caught in a rip, you'll easily be able to see that people a few feet away from you on either side aren't struggling, but you feel like you're being pulled into the ocean. Don't panic and don't try to swim back to shore. Start swimming parallel to the shore toward the person closest to you that isn't struggling. It may be difficult at first, but fortunately rip currents usually aren't very wide (80') and you should be able to reach safety.

Medical advice for the day: Say goodbye to work stress. Say hello to the ocean instead.

Summer is just around the corner. Now is the perfect time to plan your trip to become a Certified Open Water diver. You can take the knowledge portion of the course online and then do your pool training and ocean dives at Scuba Cancun. Send us a message to learn more.

Sounds about right...
