The Reef Life Way
Reef Life Cozumel is a family business created by a Scuba Instructor and Photographer – Pancho and Lorena – both of whom feel very fortunate to be able to share their passions with the world on a daily basis.
When they are not in the ocean, they are usually very nearby on the beach with their two boys, Marcelo and Yael, taking in the Caribbean weather, playing, or passing the time rolling around in the sand.

Francisco Mariscal – “Pancho” – has been diving and surfing for more than 20 years, a good portion of which has been in Cozumel; there is not a dive on the Island that he is not familiar with. Before Cozumel, Pancho lived in Puerto Escondido and surfed the “Mexican Pipeline” regularly and worked at the local dive shop. He is a Padi certified instructor, and has been teaching people to dive for more than 15 years.

It wasn’t until Lorena arrived in Cozumel and saw a camera and dive housing that she knew exactly what she wanted to do for her career. Without even having scuba certification, she was determined to get under and capture Cozumel’s underwater world. Many years later, she loves to hand down her love of ocean photography by teaching others how to discover how magical the camera really is.
