We were a group of 4 guys, 3 finishing up our open water certification dives. Pepe is very patient, professional and capable as a dive instructor. He then took us on open water dives and was great at pointing out interesting things, while making us confident that he was well in control. Better yet, with just us as the group,... More

Pepe was excellent; collected me from my hotel and arranged for all of my gear to be on the boat! As I am a relatively inexperienced diver Pepe put me at ease and we completed 2 fantastic dives off Cozumel onto the reef. Learning new techniques and increasing my scuba knowledge. Thanks for a great day, it'll stay in my... More

We had a wonderful time diving with Pepe. He made sure we were safe and having a great time on our 5 dives. Pepe also organized a full day outing for our family (8 adults and 2 children) that included a cenote dive for some of us while others snorkled and more snorkeling, visiting Tulum, eating fish tacos for all...

My brother (DM cert) and I (OW cert) put together a Dive week in Playa last October, no plan other than just show up and dive. We were able to dive 7 of our 13 dives with Pepe Urbina Bravo and it was stark the higher level of professionalism that Pepe showed over the other Dm's we dove with. He... More

This review may give inexperienced divers the belief that it is ok to venture into a cave when it's NOT. While Pepe may be an experienced dive master, guide and a nice guy he broke the cardinal rule of scuba diving. Do not take "non-cave certified" divers into a confined area with no egress above your head. I am an... More

I’m very sorry to read that you think that diving with me can be unsafe; I would like to take you diving one day and show you that is actually the opposite. As you can read in most of the post from people who have dove with me, they appreciate how much fun and how safe they feel diving at... More

I want to add our raving review of Pepe! Pepe was amazing, thoughtful and very professional. We had two wonderful days with him! I am a very inexperienced diver and he was patient and picked dives for us that were great experiences and safe. And the best part about Pepe is that he is a truly caring person. We had... More

This was our second time out with Pepe, the first time we met him was in 2008, where we got our scuba certification. Based on our positive experience the first time around, we contacted him for this trip. He did the open water dives for my father in law to get certified, and also took my wife and I out... More

Pepe saved my life! Actually - my friends life. But I will start with our dive. Pepe went above and beyond. He met us at our hotel the day before our dive to get a feel for our comfort level in the water as well as what we were interested in seeing. He speaks very good English and was very... More

Great teacher, great person, great Pepe! My friend and I just had a wonderful time diving with him in Playa del Carmen! He's able to make you feel safe and relaxed - especially if it's your first experience - he holds your hand and have the ability to let you understand that you are going to enter a new, magic...
