    This is now the six year we have been coming here, and one of the main reasons we come to Puerto Aventuras is this wonderful gem of a dive shop. The focus is on great service and total experience. My air consumption is very low,...More

    Great Service

    Martín was terrific divemaster for our 2 tank dive in July. We are still relatively new divers and he was extremely patient with me, in particular. Their scuba equipment looked to be well-maintained and all the staff were friendly and helpful.
