Underworld Scuba - Scuba Shack

WHY TWO NAMES?

Underworld Scuba has been doing business for more than 19 years as an American company. After moving to Mexico in 1987, it was discovered that Mexican citizens, including Underworld Scuba's employees, had a difficult time pronouncing the word "world" since the vowel and consonant combination in "world" do not appear in the Spanish language.

A decision was made to change the name so that it would have meaning in both languages. Now, Scuba Shack, or "La Cabaņa del Buceo," can be easily interpreted in both English and Spanish. But for those customers, who have always known us as Underworld Scuba (and for our suppliers with whom we have a long-term relationship), we will remain "Underworld Scuba."


Located on the main boulevard at Km. 15 (across the street from the Santiago Cemetery), Scuba Shack is a full service PADI Dive Center, offering retail sales, equipment rental, tank fills, and PADI scuba classes at all levels from Bubblemaker through Divemaster.

Complete line of masks, fins, snorkels, BCDs, regulators, exposure suits and accessories from name brands such as Sherwood, IST, Scubamax, Tilos, Ikelite, Trident, Luxfer and others.
Our modern teaching center includes PADI DVDs, high-speed on-line registration and downloads, and for home study, a portable DVD player with headphones. Internet is also available free to our customers.


Large department of men's and women's rental gear to fit every size from XXS to 3XL.

 

Teaching facilities at poolside are comfortable and relaxed. You assimilate knowledge quickly because of small class size and no pressure.
Large pool facilities are 1/2 Olympic size with a graduated depth from 5-9 feet.
Private instruction with as much practice time as you need to feel comfortable. Our instructors are patient, and love their job!
Scuba Shack has two, 28-foot open "pangas" with a canvas cover for shade.

Capacity for snorkeling: 12 people
Capacity for diving: 8 people

Avoid the "cattle boats" and the crowds that come with them!

There is always a PADI Instructor or Divemaster in the water with you (not someone who is "training" to be one).
