Gary's Dive ShopResort

Gary's Dive Shop in Heroica Guaymas, Mexico, is a PADI Resort that mixes recreational diving with technical training through PADI TecRec. First timers can try the Discover Scuba Diving program, which pairs a pool session with a beach dive under a PADI professional.

The shop also lets you sample three dives of your choice, such as underwater photography or wreck diving, and those dives can count toward an Advanced course. Staff work in English and Spanish, and snorkeling and Emergency First Response are available too.
