Diving in Talum

[bubba105]

Staying at Dreams Talum in August for a wedding. Figured every other day & possibly the wedding day would be dive days. I know Dreams Talum has a dive op. Haven't been able to find them on the internet. Has anyone used them or know of better ops in the Talum area? Don't know anything about the diving near Talum, if need be I'll rent a car for the week & make the trek to PDC to dive with Playacountryboy, which we may do a couple of times anyway.

Thanks, I did searches on here under Talum Diving, Dreams Talum & Talum, I got nothing. I guess I was being too specific. Thanks.

LOL The bride just corrected me also. You were much nicer about it. Moron I think she called me. I knew that spelling somewhere in my life, getting old I guess.

That drive takes longer than it looks. Rental cars don't drive well at faster speeds, many speed bumps (muertos), lights and traffic by PDC will slow you up. IMO, it would be fine for a day or two, but a week of it would be a drag on the vacation. The cenote dives in Akumal/Tulum area are great and close to you. Experience something new and try the cenotes.

Hi,

I have stayed at Dreams and Tulum pueblo. There is an excellent dive shop run By Tim Day called Maya Diving located at Dreams. Here is a link to their site. I have dived with them often and have always been more than satisfied. They launch their boats right from the beach at Dreams so you don't have to drive.

Maya Diving in Tulum: Diving and Snorkeling in Tulum Cenotes and Reefs and Dive Courses

If you want to reef or cenote dive they have...want to snorkel...they have it.

Tim has a large team of dive professionals. They are a PADI Gold Palm Resort with PADI Instructors and certified NACD (National Association of Cave Divers).

You will be very happy diving with them...when you're there, tell Tim that Sam recommended them and he will Charge you 10% more

They are just a great team to dive with.

There is an excellent highway from Tulum to Cancun...just a couple of topes (speed bumps) but it is 4 lanes from Playa to Dreams...An easy 40 to 60 min. drive. Just be careful of the speed trap as you enter Playa...It cost me $50.

Thanks, Sam. I'll remember not to mention your name when I get down there for some cenotes...
