Seeing all of the "real" reviews above...now I'm almost glad that Dive Paradise lied to us and did not honor our reservation. Here's what happened... We made a reservation weeks in advance of our cruise ship arriving in Cozumel. The confirmation email said that the shop was 1/3 of a mile from the terminal. LIE!!! If I would have checked... more

We just returned from our first experience with Dive Paradise and we are planning to go back in June. We were there right after Hurricane Ida and it was a little rough on business, but people definately have to understand that Dive Paradise was all about safety. Obviously they want to make money but they did stop some boats from... more

We have been diving in Cozumel for 20 years and have been using Dive Paradise for the past 15 years. Apple runs a top notch organization with well trained divemasters and a variety of boats to ensure your diving experience is memorable. We stayed at Hotel Barracuda and the Dive Paradise office is just down the street. After checking in... more

Just got back from my fifth trip to Cozumel, third time diving with Dive Paradise. After reading other's reviews of DP, I can't believe that they are describing the same company. On our day of arrival, we immediately headed to the shop (@ Hotel Cozumel) to fill out our paperwork and set-up our dives. Our package allowed us to trade... more

Make no mistake, Dive Paradise operates the largest, slowest boats on Cozumel. Their larger boats are the island's "cattle boats" and you will be passed by every other dive operation on your way out to the sites. I never saw another company put anywhere near 16 people on a boat, which is simply too many to dive safely if anything... more

We dove with Dive Paradise for a total of 13 dives during the second week of June 2009 (purchased as a package along with a stay at Hotel Cozumel). By chance of common arrival day, we were matched with a group of 10 divers from Pennsylvania. There was one other pair of divers that were on the same boat with... more

The Dive Paradise staff and its owner "Apple" is a class operation. The wife and I were not use to drift diving so we decided to hire a private divemaster at additional cost for the first two days, it was the best decision we could have made! Emillo has been diving in Cozumel for over 27 years and his experience... more

The dive shop is good, they take you where you want to go and they take care of you while you are there. The dive masters are good and they make sure you don't get into trouble. The only thing I didn't like was they brought one can of soda on the boat, no water or anything. It is kind... more

We dove w Dive Paradies again, April 2009. We took the fast boat this time and were very happy, six divers, so we were at the sites faster, had no problem divers onboard, and got back 1 1/2 hrs earlier. I have taken the slow boats in the past and was okay w them also, tho. To be honest, I... more

My wife and I dove with Dive Paradise for a week in March 2009. Our initial impression when we checked in at the dive shop was not good. We were rushed through our check in at the main dive shop and treated rudely by the dive shop at the Barracuda during our check out dive. The dive boats often left... more
