“The entire dive from beginning to end was absolutely amazing! There were only 4 divers so the group was smaller and more intimate. Our guide was out of this world! He was full of information not just about the dive but the history of the Cenote’s and explained the scientific history of what we were seeing. He made sure to make all the right stops along the way pausing at places so we could simply take in the beauty of the light refractions. Cannot say enough good things!!! When I come back to Mexico I will for sure being coming back to dive them again!!!!”

Try PADI Discover Scuba in Playa del Carmen: theory, a pool session, then an instructor-led ocean swim up to 36 feet.

“Terrible experience. The training is for less than an hour and is very rushed. The practice "tank" is actually a 3ft resort pool in which we were taught to breathing and hand signs for about 20 minutes. There was no pool lesson on equalizing pressure etc. We spent more time waiting for the boat to arrive than on the lessons itself. I felt very uncomfortable after the lesson and chose not to go into the ocean. My husband went and within 10ft in the ocean felt ear pain and couldn't complete it. This would've been identified if the practice tank was deeper. We spent a lot of money for nothing...…”

We had 2 different divings in 2 different spots. Both of them very nice despite I might say I preferred the second one. The communication from the very first moment up to the very last second was super as well as the organization. I booked a very last minute activity without any problems. Absolutely highly recommended!!!”

“This tour was excellent. An unforgettable way to experience our first Cenote on the Yucatan. We were staying in Cancun, and the Uber to Tulum was easy; 2 hours. We spent the morning and early afternoon on the tour; budget the day and let yourself enjoy it fully. Flying Fish Tulum and Mario were fantastic. The shop is easy and not a tourist trap, I wouldn't hesitate to call them direct. Patient, professional, and genuinely kind. The gear was in great condition.
