Will be staying in playa del carmen. Best dive op? Suggestions on diving in coz?

[Ben_3]

Hi,

I'm planning on staying in Playa De Carmen at a resort some time soon. I dont like complicated organization and I dont necessarily want to have to be gone all day . I want to do ocean reef diving. Maybe a nice wreck if there are any close by? Maybe dive a Cenotes if time permits. Do any of you have good dive ops to recommend that can get take care of you directly from a resort at a fare price.

Also can anyone talk to me about what it would inquire if I'd like to go and dive in coz from my hotel in Playa?

Thanks in advance for any info.

I highly recommend Nicolas from CenoteXperience. I have been diving with Nico for about 13 years, he has a small family run dive shop in Playa. They do both cenote dives & ocean dives and they run dives over to Cozumel. CenoteXperience - Cavern, Cave and Ocean Diving in Playa del Carmen Yucatan Mexico - Home

Tank Ha is a good dive shop in PDC. Offers ocean dives, cenotes and takes their boat to Cozumel rather than using the ferry. Have always had positive experiences with them on all 3 types of dives.

+1 They’re great people and I have dove a lot of cenotes with them.

I also had a great experience with Tank Ha for both cenote and ocean dives about a month ago!

When they use their boats to go to coz do they go directly to the dive sites? How long are the boat rides?

Yes, Tank Ha goes directly to the dive sites. I don't remember how long the boat rides are except that it seems easier than taking the ferry and then getting on another boat to the dive site. Seems like we got back to Playa mid-afternoon.

Makes sense, I sent them an email today. Their prices seem fair.
