“Scuba Libre is a good diving company, Sam our instructor was very knowledgeable. The open water certification was for my wife, and I took a refresher course. There wasn't much visibility in my first dive as the currents were strong, so they took us to a different location for the next dive, which had better visibility. Overall we both enjoyed our second dive. As an open water diver, I wanted to go for better sites, but came to know, those sites are near to Cozumel.”
