Do you mentioned google search because there are rules against writing company names in the forums or is it because you forgot the companies name? Sorry, but I am not very familiar with the rules yet. We've been really hoping to do a scuba tour but almost all of them require some sort of certification or are very simple for the money. Your suggestion is intriguing, but I am hoping you can get back to me about my confusion LOL. Thanks!

Actually I am not all that familiar with the rules about posting companies websites on this site but I seem to remember reading in some other posts that is against the rules.

As I posted previously there is absolutly no certification needed. You just book the Discover Scuba option for $79 pp. It is anything but simple for the money. When you arrive at your meeting place they do a run through of all the equipment and how it works. Then they help you get suited up and take you into chest deep water and go through basics of scuba diving and once you are comfortable with everthing you load into a boat and head out to sea. The reef you dive next to is 25-35 ft deep and absolutly amazing. The dive lasts for about 20-25 mins depending on how fast you consume air and the guide is with you the entire way.

The only downside to doing this excursion is that snorkeling will never be as fun again. You will wish you had a tank on your back and under the surface!

If you are looking for a little bit of an adventure try the discover scuba. You do not need to have any certifications and it is very easy and exciting to do. I did this a few years ago and plan to do it again when I am there in February. The company I use has you meet them at Mahahual so when you are done diving you can get a nice massage, drinks, and good food for cheap. try typing "costa maya tours" into google it will be the first link that pops up.

Good Luck!
