About

Aside from its breathtaking beaches and azure tepid waters, Cancun is a scuba divers paradise! Dressel Divers Cancún is your premier destination when you're ready to explore the Yucatan Peninsula's vibrant underwater world. 

The dive shop is on Blvd. Kukulkan, not far from Dolphins Beach, and offers various packages to suit any budget and skill level. From snorkeling trips beside massive (and safe!) whale sharks to cave dives at area cenotes to face-to-face bull shark encounters, Dressel Divers Cancún has it all.

If you're not certified, Dressel offers SDI (Scuba Diving International) classes to get you diving in no time. Check out the Discover Scuba Diving (DSD) if you want the basic skills to dive (without certification) and explore reefs as deep as 40'.

The Cancun facility is one of many ports managed by this international company. All facilities are known for superb service and safety, with a multilingual staff and well-maintained equipment. 

Beyond offering unforgettable aquatic excursions, Dressel Divers takes pride in its environmental efforts. It protects the underwater ecosystem, emphasizing sustainable practices during tours and encouraging eco-friendly behavior among divers. 

The shop is convenient to other attractions like Sky Wheel Cancun and Museo Maya de Cancún. Such proximity makes creating a jam-packed diving and sightseeing itinerary doable.

Dressel Divers Cancún: Fun Facts & Cool Features

This dive shop has so much to offer that we’ll only scratch the surface of its features.

First, let’s begin with the boats. These are custom-designed with features suitable for diving. There’s ample space for gear, divers, and easy access points to get in and out of the ocean. The boat has backup scuba gear, and the captain has first-aid medical training. 

Where this dive shop shines is in the various dives and snorkeling tours offered in and around Cancun. As mentioned, picture yourself snorkeling beside whale sharks, the world’s largest fish! These gentle giants can grow up to 32’ and are slow-paced as they eat plankton, which makes snorkeling beside them a once-in-a-lifetime experience!

Experienced divers should check out the cenote tours. These land-based ponds lead to underwater caverns that are mind-blowing! Visibility is 200’, and sunlight dissects the water, creating a surreal light show in the cenotes. Unlike cave diving, the caverns have access to the surface, which will appeal to those who are not cave-certified. 

Dressel Divers also offers customizable tour packages, private dives, and live-aboard tours. Because it’s an international company, you can schedule these dives anywhere around the globe. 

After your underwater or snorkeling adventure, head to nearby eateries like Ryoshi Cancún and Casa Rolandi. Over a delicious meal, discuss what it was like seeing a bull shark emerge from deeper blue water or the thrill of floating beside sea turtles.  

And that, folks, is just the tip of the iceberg of what this dive company offers. When vacationing in the Yucatan Peninsula, you owe it to yourself to let Dressel Divers Cancún show you the reefs, wrecks, marine life, and cenotes on one of their tours.
