After spending several days scuba diving in warm tropical waters again in Cozumel, I took the ferry over to the mainland to stay in Playa del Carmen for a few days. My dive trip was still continuing but instead of the ocean, I wanted to try diving in the cenotes of the Mexican Riviera which I...

Hi, Sure this has been asked earlier, but looking for newer datapoints. I am planning to get open water certified when I visit (Nov if that matters). This would be my first diving ever. There are tons of scuba schools in that area. I researched some and the price is all over the board varying...

I have searched and Googled my query below but I could not find the answer. I am hoping someone here in this forum will have some input on it. I am curious to find out how locals (Mexicans and expats) dive in Playa del Carmen or the Riviera Maya area. I have doubts that they pay tourist...

My wife and I traveled to Cozumel for new years to celebrate a milestone. It was ten years ago in Cozumel we first started diving together as a couple and we returned to mark our 200th dive couple dive. For some unknown reason I decided to try a new resort and dive operator, so I opted for the...

Well 10 years ago my wife and I had our first dive as a couple in Cozumel. We spent New Years there to hit our 200th couple dive. Here is to the best buddy ever! Put your settings on HD.

Last week I did two days of cenote diving out of Playa del Carmen with CenoteXperience. If you are unsure about cenote diving I cannot encourage you enough to GO FOR IT, and I highly recommend this dive operation (thank you scubaboard for the reco!). Day 1: Orquiedas & Tajma Ha Orquiedas is a...

Hi Scubaboard! My GF and I are heading to the Riviera Maya over the Christmas holiday. I'm PADI MSDT and have started her OW certification, which we would like to finish during the holiday (only the open water dives remain). Does anyone know a shop that would rent a SCUBA kit for her and tanks...

I'm going to be in Playa the middle of January I only have 2-3 days to dive and am looking for advise on the best cenotes and reefs and dive shop. We are experienced divers nitrox certified but its been 2 years since I've been diving. So probably not too deep or wild this time. Thanks for any...

Hi all- Some friends and I are looking at a Cozumel trip in February. I'd love to dive some cenotes while I'm there if possible. I'm an expert diver with a decent amount of overhead environment experience including wreck penetration, but my friends don't have this. Since it may be relevant in...

My girlfriend and I are planning to stay for about 2 weeks in the area of Playa del Carmen, Tulum or Cozumel end of September / early October. We know its hurricane season but were lucky all 3 years before while staying in Dominican Republic. Anybody been there during that time? What weather...

Last weekend I traveled to Playa del Carmen to dive with Bull Sharks. They are only in season between December and March. I shot this footage on a Gopro Hero 4 Silver (1080P, 60fps, -1EV) and Backscatter filters. I left the ISO in auto and I get some flickering of color. I'm wondering if I...

I choose to dive with Cenote Xperience after reading very good reviews about this dive shop on Scubaboard and Tripadvisor and exchanging some mails with Nicolas who gave me more prompt, precise and professional answers than other shops that I checked. I did the dives with Martin (Cozumel and...

Hello, We'll stay probably in PDC but I would like to dive in Cozumel too. Because of health reasons I'm limited to one dive a day, till 15m. What shallow dive site should I choose in Cozumel and is it worth the effort or it's better to dive shallow sites from Cancun/ PDC? I try to do a trip...
