Me and my friends wanted to get out of the resort for a special trip so we were looking in some tours of the resort. The tour we liked most was to Isla Mujeres. Alexis, the girl who works at Scuba Libre is very lovely and helped us with all the arangements. It wasn´t too expensive and she organised everything... More

We went on a catamaran snorkelling trip as part of a wedding group (32 people) and what we were told we would get was the opposite of what we actually got. We ended up with 6 American ladies who didn't belong to our group and took over the only shaded area on the boat. They were quite obnoxious. We left... More

I have the exact same experience as the review posted on April 6th. I am a Divemaster, but my girlfriend had never dived before. She decided to try the Discover Scuba course. I do not recommend anybody to take courses with this dive shop. The theory lasted only 10 minutes and the pool session only 15 minutes. In my opinion... More

I have dove with these guys 6 times when i have been i Playa del Carmen and highly recommend using them if you are diving here. They have also arranged dives for me over in Cozumel, all you have to do is get on the ferry someone is waiting to pick you up on the other side.

We where a group of three divers diving for three days, there where a couple of very good dives and a couple of very very bad ones. Good dives: the site was great, the guide was very good and even if conditions where not the best we enjoyed those dives. Bad dives: they threw us in a sand spot and... More

I usually like the water but the ocean was very rough, so the half hour ride to go snorkelling was very scary. We went into a small bay and it was still rough and we still went snorkelling. We did see lots of fish and coral , but some of our party said they would never go snorkelling again. The... More
