I have been diving in Cancun for 15 years. The last three years were with Mayan Aqua Dive. I made six dives with them on my vacation this year and the dives were great. We went to a different location every time. Ulises and Maurice were terriffic. We even got Carl to go with us once. The Taurus is a... More

Ever wanted to scuba dive, but not sure you could do it? That was me last week. My daughter had been wanting to go for the last couple years, so through Thomas More we scheduled a day with the Mayan Aqua Dive Team. They were wonderful!! Karl was a great instructor and Ulysses was my "amigo" during the dive. He... More

I dove 2 days this past week with Ulises from Mayan Aqua Dive. On Wednesday morning we dove Horseshoe Reef and Grampin Reef we swam with a hawksbill turtle and a loggerhead, Ulises found a flounder no larger than a quarter, a nurse shark that was about 9 ft long and numerous other sea creatures that I probably would not...

The experience with Mayan Aqua Dive was top drawer! Karl is incredibly patient, kind, and encouraging. "Not an option" for Karl's students: having only a "good" dive. Only a "fantastic" and "excellent" will do. And indeed the experience was fantastic. The instruction was one on one. As I moved through the water, Karl was giving instructions to help me improve...

I'm an experienced certified diver and booked a resort course with Karl and Daniel to introduce my 15 year old son to SCUBA. The instructors are great - experienced and patient with all questions to keep new divers at ease with the sport and equipment. On the reef there was one dive master to each buddy team and they kept... More

Went to Cancun specifically and only to dive. First day was paired up with another shop who ended up taking 2 uncertified divers. Needless to say it was not a pretty or pleasant dive. The rest of the week I was paired with Karl and his Mayan Aqua team. The boat was great, Ulysses, our guide, was fantastic (probably the... More

The main purpose of our week in Cancun was to get as much diving in as possible so I did a great deal of online research prior to the trip as I could. I was ready to go with one of the bigger outfits and one was actually located within walking distance of our resort. I asked about their packages... More

Got certified (did e-learning course in advance) - great experience. Did pool in AM then two dives in afternoon, then next day did two more dives. Great instructor (owner Karl and American) and service on the dives. Other divemasters were great too. More

Everything is well prepared, snacks, drinks, the brief it's amazing, not the usual 5 minutes briefs, this will take long, cristal clear! Equipment is really good, not... More
