About this activity
Playa del Carmen is an excellent place to scuba dive. Our reefs are heathy and we have many fish - particularly compared to the numbers of fish you are likely to see in Cozumel. However, the quality of the corals is probably better over in Cozumel, so if you are particularly interested in Coral, then check out out Direct-to-Cozumel dive which you might prefer.
Our instructors will take excelent care you you and we dive in small groups (maximum 5 people) to ensure that can get the maximum enjoyment from the dive. Where possible we also work hard to match experience levels within each dive group.
Out instructors as passionate about the ocean, therefore during your experience you can expect to learn about the ocean and the wildlife you will discover.
What you will do
We offer two morning dives (arrive 08:00) and two afternoon dives (12:30). Our morning dives are normally deeper and typically suitable only for Advanced Open Water divers who have been diving recently. Our afternoon dives are more suited to Open Water certified divers who have also been diving recently. If you have not been diving recently then you may want to consider completing a scuba refresh session ($40) with us in the pool in the morning, prior to completing two afternoon dives. Please get in touch with us if you would like to arrange this. We will begin by verifying you dive certification and preparing your scuba equipment. One of our instructors will then conduct a full dive briefing before we take you to our dive boat. From the boat we will complete two dives on two different coral reefs. The dives will typically last 40-60 minutes depending on depth, air consumptiion, skill level and comfort. During the dives you are likely to see a huge range of tripical fish and beautiful corals. We sometimes see impressvie moray eels and graceful turtles during the dives too, so that is something extra special to look out for.
