A friend and I completed our PADI classroom and enclosed water part of the certification process in December in the states. Our goal was to complete the open water portion of the process when our group went on vacation to Playacar in January. After extensive research and sending a ton of emails to many of the diving shops in the... More

Steve and the team at reef quest are excellent. We just returned from our trip which included a number of dives with Steve and his team including a dive in the cenotes. Also while there my two kids completed their open water certifications with Steve. First, Steve is a terrific instructor and was incredibly thorough with the kids. I could... More

Reef quest far exceeded my expectations -- again. This was the first time my children would go scuba diving. Both were unsure about scuba diving. Both took the discovery scuba class at Reef Quest and had a great experience. Meanwhile my wife and I had a chance to do a series of dives that were well briefed and were well... More

My wife, daughter (18) and I recently did some diving with Steve and Reefquest Divers and we very much enjoyed it. Our original plan was to dive Tuesday afternoon January 3d, some diving Wednesday January 4th with some tentative plans for diving Thursday January 5th. Weather created a problem for the Tuesday afternoon dive, it was very windy that day... More

Steve was amazing! He was very attentive and catered to the needs of three individual (different level) divers. The equipment was all in excellent condition, and I am very picky! Steve is the bouyancy king! He taught us all that we were carrying waaaay too much weight, something the other dive centers never pay much attention to. He is also... More

We went to PDC in November and diving was on the top of our "to do list". As our kids (age 15 and 20) are rather unexperienced and newly certified, we wanted to find the right diving center - with staff that show special attention to them and their limited diving experience. My husband and I have been to PDC... More

Reef Quest is a first class operation form the own (Steve) to the boat crew and all the instructors inbetween. If you like to dive and want a fun safe experiance with trained professionals than call Steve and say hi for me. I like a smaller dive group and this dive shop does that, in my opion you get to...

My wife found Reef Quest on Trip Advisor whilst shopping around after I had chatted with our hotel's in house dive shop. From the first conversation on the phone through to diving with my 2 teenage nephews, I found Steve and Laura at Reef Quest to be exceptionally friendly and professional. My nephews had not been diving before so for... More

I afraid my experience is not congruent with that of many of the other reviews. The trip we went on included the rental of equipment. In all the dive trips I have taken with other outfits, a dive computer showing airtank pressure and depth are part of the package. My first dive did not include this crucial safety item. In... More

Unbelievable Review and totally unjustified ! Firstly dive computers are not supplied by any dive centre, that I am aware of, as standard. Not in all my years as an instructor have I witnessed a dive centre that supplies dive computers as part of standard hire equipment and certainly not here in Mexico. Dive computers are indeed available for rent... More

I was vacationing in Playa first week in December with my (non-diving) girlfriend and wanted to do a few dives. Called around and settled on Reef Quest - turned out to be a good choice. Very friendly and professional. I dived with them and heard someone else talking about the Shark Dive, so I asked the owner (Steve) if I... More
