I went to the Jardines de la reina February 2025. I can’t believe what incredible experience it was. The staff and dive guides were of the most professional people I have had the privilege of diving with. I liken the diving to seeing the Grand Canyon for the first time. There is so much marine life present, it’s hard to take it all in. Even if your head is capable of 180 degrees, you will miss more than you see, thankfully the dive guides are ever vigilant and are quick to let you know when there is marine life you may not have seen or knew was present around or near you. The boat is maintained and is spotless. Cabins very comfortable and the failed to disappoint me and my fellow travelers. I highly recommend taking the opportunity to make this a must see diving spot. Getting into and out of the country is pretty easy with the proper documentation. You will not be disappointed. See you below!
