Last minute reservation made online before leaving for Cozumel on cruise ship. Heidi was perfectly accommodating and prompt with her replies online. 5 minute cab ride ($12) from pier to boat and Victor was waiting as promised. Had my own divemaster (Edgar) who was patient and watched after me perfectly. I hadn't been diving in several years but it all... More

My friend and I, both experienced and past Cozumel divers, chose Buena Ventura over other dive outfits based on the excellent TA reviews. We were not disappointed in the service, nor the dive experience. We arrived and found we were the only two divers that morning, which happily resulted in a private dive with crew members Jorge and Victor. We... More

We are a family with one scuba diver and three snorkelers. Buena Ventura made our one afternoon on Cozumel a very special experience. Heidi, the owner, went especially above and beyond by scrambling for us when we realized-after taking the ferry-that we'd come on the wrong day! She made it work. Jorge and Victor were thoughtful and personable guides who... More

We are a family of 5 who stopped in Cozumel while on a cruise. We have cruised before but this was the first time we booked private excursions in hopes of receiving better service for less money and that is exactly what we received with Buena Ventura. We pre-arranged our snorkeling excursion and everything went as Heidi had communicated in... More

We LOVED the 1/2 day snorkeling with Buena Ventura Diving! We had 4 teenagers between 2 families and they are very active. They needed this type of excursion! Our guide Mario and our captain Victor were just the best. They actually made it what it was. Mario is so experienced that he would dive under and point out things for... More

Jorge and Victor were very nice to deal with. Very patient and knowledgeable. They go out of their way to make sure you are having a good time and seeing everything on the reef. We never felt rushed and they are excellent for beginner divers. Went with my wife and 2 teenage boys. They were able to snorkel above and... More

I went with my boyfriend the past christmas. It was our first time diving, we were very excited and a little nervous. However, after Mario explained the guidlines and trained us in the beach for 30 mins, we felt confident about what will happen next. He first took us to 25-feet deep water, we got to practice and saw very... More

Jorge our dive master was attentive to all our needs gave a good description of each dive and after the first dive and he checked out our skills he was always around to be helpful and and lead us...

My boyfriend and I are both certified divers, and experienced a two tank, twilight, and night dive with Buena Ventura Diving. Victor and Gorge picked us up at our resort dock right on time, and we were off to our first dive of the morning. It was a small group, 5 divers, and that day we explored the reefs, coral,... More

Our cruise stopped in Cozumel. We had booked a snorkeling trip with Buena Ventura based on reviews on this site. On arrival, the water was too choppy and the Marina was closed to all small boat traffic - no one was going anywhere. We still met Victor at the dock and he told us that he was sorry, and our...
