Honeymoon in Isla Mujeres

[WaterDance]

Ben and I are heading to Isla Mujeres for our honeymoon at the end of May and I was wondering what dive shop do people recommend on the island? Also, we are interested in experiencing at least one Cenote dives during our stay.

Thanks!

Be sure to look at all the info & boards under " Sharing Isla' at the top of the webpage.
To dive the cenotes, south of Cancun will require arranging transportation. Bus=cheap,, rental car= $$. Contact one of the local Cancun dive shops to see if they offer the trip with transportation included.

As I understand it, the diving page cited here is out of date. Coral Scuba Dive Center, my old favorite, closed and its former staff have set up a couple of new shops. I think they are called Carey Dive Center and Enrique's Unique Dives. They both should be fine, as they are run by great instructors/dive masters.

Coral Scuba Dive Center was whom we had planned to dive with when I did all of my original research.
Do you by chance know which of the remaining places will let us leave our gear at their shop and not have to drag it back to our hotel after each dive? I am going to do some browsing, but wanted to know if you had the inside scoop.

thanks,
Susan

I believe that Joes post above is correct. I am unsure which other dive shop will allow you to leave your gear there. May just have to e mail & ask.
Whalesharks migrate thru that area in June & July. Not sure if they will be there late May or not. A few operators are allowed to take snorkelers , [ no diving ] to swim with them. Capt. Tony, who you will see mentioned a lot on the forums at the website I provided, can answer your questions, & someone may be able to answer a question about gear storage there, too. Enjoy. I was there last Summer.

I've attempted to contact Carey Dive Shop via email (the guy from Coral works there now), but to no avail. Does anyone have a direct phone for them? Are there other shops people recommend? Phone numbers would be appreciated, as it appears email is not very popular there . We're set to leave in three weeks, so the clock is ticking!

Thanks,
Susan
