Our week diving with Dive Paradise was excellent. Every morning and afternoon we were picked-up at our hotel dock on time. Staff was very friendly and the boats were clean. Our dive master, Emilio, was fantastic. He pointed out everything we needed to see. Thanks for a great week. We'll dive again with Dive Paradise. More

Dive Paradise review We stayed at Hotel Cozumel and dove with Dive Paradise in mid-April based on the recommendations of numerous friends of ours. We had a positive experience with the dive company and would use them again. Pros: • Dive shop is located on the Hotel Cozumel property for easy and convenient access. • The staff was friendly, knowledgeable... More

The diving was spectacular, the boats clean and neat, and the dive masters are very attentive to your needs. The dive masters pointed out things we would have never seen on our own. They helped us with our gear and were on the spot when my husbands tank slipped from his BC while on a dive. We will use no... More

I enjoyed diving with DP for a week. We were with a group, and were well taken care of. Had the same divemasters every day, so we could develop a relationship. Check-in & rental was smooth. Getting Nitrox was not so smooth - you had to reserve & pay for all the nitrox tanks in advance, yet we would go... More

This was our 2nd time to use Dive Paradise. We had great dive masters and especially enjoyed the dives with Victor and Juan. Both were really great about showing us stuff under the water. I am a new diver and I really appreciated that both DM took their time to get me up close and personal with the marine life.... More

Thanks, DP for another great vacation. The staff is so great - we usually don't book our dives ahead of time so we walked to the shop and booked with Lucia who was great. Our favorite DM was unavailable so we dove with a few others and were well-taken care of. We had a great conversation with Angel at the... More

We did our PADI Open Water diving certificate in 4 days with the great diving instructor Mike of Dive Paradise and it was one of the best holiday experiences we ever had. Mike is a great teacher and - what is most important - we had a lot of fun! For us, there was the possibility to stay at his... More

We recently returned from Cozumel and were not greatly impressed by the dive operation offered at Dive Paradise. We stayed at the adjacent Hotel Cozumel which was decent but the diving was not so good. We were unaware of the policy that if you miss an afterternoon dive, they did not let you make it up or switch it to... More

The dives were wonderful, a full 57 min on first dive. Dive master was so informative, he showed us things that you would not have seen on your own. Helpful and anything you needed. During the rest between dives they only gave soda. So for those who do not drink soda bring water and your own snack. More

We had a terrific experience with DIve Paradise. Their Dive Guides were the best! They were very cordial and helpful in all we did. They had a service attitude, and made it a wonderful experience. They were very experienced with the available dives, and always picked a dive based on the experience of the group. Diving in Cozumel was some... More
