My husband and I planned a trip to Plya, and wanted to dive. We did our open water course in our home state, and contacted Dive Shop Mexico to do the open water dives. We emailed with Natalia prior to leaveing and were very impressed at the speed of response. Natalia answered all of our silly beginner questions and offered... More

I have my PADI open water certification and was looking to get a dive in during my week in Playa. I checked out a bunch of places and these guys were well priced and flexible in their dive locations. (of course I could have just lucked out on my timing). They understood my infrequent diving, but were cool that I... More

Just experienced two awesome days of diving thanks to Dive Shop Mexico, one day Cenotes and the other Cozumel. E-mails back and forth between Natalia and I before I left for Mexico meant I was organized and stress free when I arrived. Cenotes are an amazing experience and would recommend it for anyone, felt very safe prior and during the... More

Both the wife and I took the opportunity to do 4 dives at the end of March using Dive Shop Mexico simply based on tripadvisor reviews and we were not disappointed. The shop is a small hole in the wall that you could easily miss, the boat is small and seen better days but the friendliness of the operation, attention... More

What an easy review to write. If all businesses had Dive Shop Mexico’s personal easygoing service life would be a lot more fun. Natalia, Manuel and Sybil patiently answered all of our dumb questions helping us to plan the series of dives we wanted to complete. Enrique is an excellent dive companion and teacher with decades worth of dives behind... More

Natalia and Enrique took such good care of us. As beginner divers, Enrique made us feel safe and secure. His almost 20 years of dive experience was evident in the way he led us through our certification. Plus Enrique gave us amazing dives full of wonderful fish, eels, porcupine fish, barracudas, torpuns, corals, green turtles, and one of the largest... More

I've been diving for 3 years and have 41 dives under my belt at the moment. Still lots to learn but I recognize a class operation when I see it. I dove for 3 days with them during spring break. Two on the reefs and one in the Cenote Dos Ojos. Enrique was our Divemaster the 1st day and Andrea... More

I took the Open Water Diver course and it was an excellent experience from the beginning till the end. Felt safe and had fun during the entire course!! Great place to dive, have a good time and see amazing things down the sea. Instructor was awesome and all the people in the shop treated us very good. Totally recommended!!!
