Explore two freshwater cenote sessions near Tulum with a small group, equipment, transport, snacks, and expert guidance for certified divers.

“This would have been my 13th dive, open-certified but I failed to meet the expectations of the guide (which is fine) for the caves in Dos Ojos. He was incredibly rude to me, biased against women and I literally couldn’t stand his presence so decided against continuing with the dive, partly to appease him and mostly to relieve myself of his presence—what a backward customer experience! He reiterated over and over again to the group that “we’re adults”, “we’re divers” and can do what we want which made NO sense to me. We were relying on him as a guide and frankly, as a good human, to advise open-water divers…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 210 reviews · 4 hours (approx.)

Review of Cabo San Lucas private scuba boat trip for four, with two sites, beginner refreshers, Arch views, gear costs, and booking advice.

“The experience was excellent from start to finish. Laura was communicative and responsive with the booking and arranging of hotel to dock transport. Filipe, our dive guide was friendly, educational and knowledgeable. He put my wife at ease (she is not a diver). Both Laura and Filipe went the extra mile by postponing our transport back to the resort after the dive so that we may enjoy lunch at one of their suggested local spots. I will be back to dive with them and highly recommend this private charter.”

Two-tank Cozumel scuba outing with boat transport, local guides, reef wildlife, and practical advice on timing, costs, gear, and cruise schedules.

“We had a great time on this excursion. The location of the dive shop was about a 10 minute taxi ride from the cruise terminal. Everyone was nice and accommodating. We had to reconfigure our dives due to the times (didn’t take into consideration the local time vs ship time) but Alicia at the dive shop helped get us on a boat for our first dive and then on a different boat for the second one. We dove with Nanou and Jolien, both great, calm guides. And the dive locations were awesome, with lots of coral and fish to see and some amazing pass through to swim though.”

“At costa Maya they have a fee for solo travelers. If you need a taxi they charged 10 dollars. I was lucky to find some other travelors for my way out to my dive to share the expense. It was a short drive to a peaceful area to take the scuba dive. After our dive where we saw several lovely things. We walked back from the boat to the shop for a short rest time and had pine apple and lime water. It was wonderful. The second dive we saw two lovely turtles it was the reef called the fingers and was a beautiful dive. Then I caught a taxi…”

Explore MUSA and Manchones reef from Isla Mujeres on a small-group two-tank scuba trip with equipment, snacks, and expert care.

“The MUSA was fun, but the majority of the dive is to get to the statues and back. I would have loved more time looking into more detail instead of the the journey to there and back. I would also advise to let people know that a dive light would be beneficial on this tour so you can really see all the life dwelling. The dive boat was barely a dive boat, but the instructor cared a lot and if anyone works with Ponca dive center, Danni is truly kind and attentive.”

“Our master diver was Clemente and he was awesome! We are certified, but haven’t dived in quite some time. He gave us a quick refresher, and we were off to the dive. We saw the ‘Museum’ and reef dives. We also got the picture package and Clemente was able to have us pose, and we got some great photos to remember our trip. The tour operation was great. The transport was a bit bit tricky as we were coming from the Moon palace resort. They referred us to an airport transfer service that had an option for hotel to hotel transport which worked great. The only hang up we had…”

“Don't miss it! Small dive company, personalized attention, and incredible views and experience! Really special to dive in a Cenote and especially then pop up in a "bat cave" after swimming underground tunnels with flashlights. All gear provided, showers at Cenote site were a plus. It was a bit tiring to carry all gear down steps from the parking area twice, but if you're in okay shape, should be fine. Our guide was very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful.”

“I want to start with, I have 47 years diving experience and I am an instructor. The dive is sub-par and expensive. The staff gave my granddaughter a difficult time because she had a temporary certification card because she had not received her actual card. Another client had a similar experience. I would suggest a different operation.”

“The communication was great. We were told when and where to meet and the driver arrived exactly on time. Once we got to the dive shop, our gear was prepared very quickly. Everything was checked to make sure that we were certified and safe, and down to the boat we went. We were taken out for the 2 dives, and it was very enjoyable. My wife and I were the only ones on the excursion that day so we got very personalized service. Everyone on the boat was great. If I return to Acapulco, I will definitely do this again.”

Review of Pro Dive Mexico’s four-session Cozumel package from Playa del Carmen, including reefs, ferry, lunch, costs, safety, and booking tips.

“ProDive is one of the top companies in the district, covering Cancun all the way down to Tulum. Instructors are excited to share their passion of scuba diving with their customers. Sales and admin on the other hand are a whole different matter. After equalization issues and bad weather, we decided to rest for the couple days left of vacation that we had, and when we visited the dive shop for a refund, they became argumentative and combative. 30 minutes of argument later, and the worst Customer Service on the planet, they were adamant to no refund policy. BUYER BEEARE! We have dives across the planet and would never use…”
