“We did the Barbie Line and Bat Cave with Pepe and had an awesome time! We learned so much and had so much fun. Pepe is so patient and knowledgeable and fun, we would like to do more dives with him! The trip lasted from 9am until about 4pm. Delicious lunch was included. All gear provided and was in great shape and fit comfortably. There were 3 of us on the dive. They don’t allow the dive master to take pictures so they can focus on the clients, but there was an on-site photographer who took excellent photos! The communication while booking the trip was excellent, all done on WhatsApp,…”
Beginner-friendly Cancun scuba course with pool training, two guided ocean sessions, and MUSA sculptures plus a natural reef.
“From start to finish, this was a super fun experience! The beginning hour of instruction was in-depth, clear, and fun! The boat rides out/back to/from Isla Mujeres were fun, attentive crew. The dives were great! A lot of fun views with reefs & fish. Our guide gave lots of freedom to move about behind him, regularly checked out status, and pointed our special sights and fish. Diving equipment was decently comfortable, fit well, easy to use, in good condition. Overall, would go on again, would recommend!”

“We had a fantastic time diving the Cenotes with The Cenotes Guy guide Remi. It was beautiful, safe, exciting and amazing in every way. We would highly recommend this tour for all divers.”
Intro scuba course at Maroma Beach with hotel pickup, gear, insurance, bottled water, and beach club access in Riviera Maya.
“First time scuba diving for both of us and we chose the right people to do it with! Carlos, Alex, and Juan were incredibly helpful and positive. We immediately got our friends to book an excursion with them. We only had one person become afraid in our group, but the divers encouraged the person into diving still with the perfect amount of attention needed.”
