Captain Erwin and Mate Felipe worked extremely hard to get us on fish.  They were constantly changing out for fresh bait, changing out the teasers, and constantly scanning for the Kites (birds) to indicate fish.  They never took a break.  They wanted fish to be caught.  If you read the chart for offshore fishing, only three species are in the area in November.  We caught two Barracuda.  Mid spring until early fall numerous species are available including sport fish.

There were at least 6 other hits but nothing else hooked.  One misnomer from what I am accustomed to is “bottom fishing”.  The boat continually trolls, but what seemed to be at reduced RPM’s and in shallower water over the reefs.  (I suspect it is illegal to anchor or drop lines directly over the reef).

When there is a hit, the Captain or Mate set the hook and then all you do is reel it in.  I prefer feeling or seeing the hit myself, setting the hook or missing it is then entirely up to me.

I can’t imagine a crew working harder or more diligently to catch fish and please the customer.  Both were very pleasant and tried to keep us engaged. 

Suggestion would be take a cushion to set on the fiberglass seats.  With any kind of swell it’s hard on a skinny butt.  Weather was fantastic, with one small rain outburst.

Overall great experience! Captains Raphael and Felipe were awesome and tried very hard to make sure our first deep sea dive was successful and they accomplished that. Thank you to all at Mexidivers for a great time!

Everything was great. The crew/captain took great care of us and everything. We caught Barracuda, trolled the ocean, went by the Ruins and got to do some snorkelling. Raphael joined us in snorkelling and took us along the coral reef, it was such a great experience! We will be back!

The guys were great very nice and talkative it never felt awkward on the boat at all and all the local knowledge they had was great to hear about just being able to point things out while we were on the water and show us some of what the Caribbean Sea had to offer and the fishing was great we caught plenty of fish 10/10 would do again

We were the only ones on the boat and they made fishing so easy. We only caught barracuda which we couldn’t keep but they did amazing given how much seaweed there was Our favorite part ended up being getting to snorkel and feed fish and turtles. A sting ray even jumped on us to try to get food which was super cool.
