We just got back yesterday and we had a great time, Went diving with Ben's crew for two days and it was excellent.

The first day my wife snorkeled while I scuba dove, we were on a great reef outside of Cancun near the isla Mujeres called Manchones. The plant and animal life was incredible, Seen everything you normally see on the Discovery Channel :D. From the Midwest I have been stuck in lakes and quarries over the last few years so this was my first Ocean Dive, and it was great. The crew is there to help you all the way. Ulises the dive master on the boat was a great guide through the reefs and was very keen on safety as were all the crew.

There were only a 3-4 divers on the boat with me plus the crew on both dive days, two dive masters and two other dive master in training dove with us on both days, it was a fun time.

The second dive is what I am not sure of, it was near the Isla of Mujeres also but at a different reef, it was on the south side of the lighthouse and I am not sure on the name.

Ben picked us up on both days at our hotel and brought us back

Prior to arranging the trip searched through these boards for recommendations on who to choose, there are a ton of options and I am sure there are other great dive guides /shops that would be great. I chose Ben Mayan Aqua Dive at The dive sites around Cancun have abundant sealife in easy currents.
