They explained everything very patiently and did great on showing me Playa's Reef. We went to Tortugas and was a good place to fell in love with scuba diving. Instructors were always helpful and gave very good... more

My wife and I just finished our open water certifications with dive shop mexico. All the people who worked at the shop were great. They are willing to work with you to schedule your dives when it works best for you. We started and finished the course in 4 days. Our instructor Natalia is the best. She is very nice... more

We just finished our 2nd week with Dive Shop Mexico (the frst was 2 years ago, during Hurricane Dean). This is the BEST DIVE SHOP in Playa del Carmen. While all of them go to the same dive sites, the level of personal attention and service you get from Manuel and Natalia is exceptional - truly beyond expectations. Manuel has... more

Was in Playa last week and dove with DSM. Thanks to all the wonderful people at this small shop my wife and I had a fabulous time. Everyone is friendly, accommodating and, most importantly, very competent. My wife got certified with Natalia and she could not have had a better learning experience in my opinion. We dove Playa, Cozemel and... more
