Have wanted to learn how to sail for a while and thought I would pay for a taster lesson with this company. I was quite nervous on the day but was looking forward to it. They advised me that I would have one hours lesson and then I would have free use of the catamaran for an hour a day... More

I was impressed on how professional Dressel Divers work! Besides the beautiful location and perfect organization, the "Instructor Development Team" was wonderful. I just can say, congratulations Dressel Divers for having such great personalities and mentors within your team, just fantastic. Cris Maffione and his IDC staff instructors made it happen!! My further recommendations for IDC candidates as well as... More

Am a certified diver (certified in 75) who enjoys the sport immensely . Frequent lapses between dive times begs for a competent dive staff that will help you regain your confidence and proficiency in the water. The Dressel dive staff is committed to safety . They are committed to your safety as well as that of the environmentally gently reef... More

We just came back from a trip to Playa de Carmen, Mexico where we took a dive trip to Cozemul using Dressel Dives. It was the most professional yet fun dive a person could imagine. From our booking with Helenita (Germany) to our awesome dive master Olaf, and crewman Fransisco you could not ask for a better group. Their expertise... More

I really enjoyed diving with these guys (Riviera Maya/ in a hotel resort), we had different diving guides and they were all at the top of their games. The dives were also amazing, Cozumel almost made me speechless and the cavern diving with Octavio was also out of this world. I will definitely come back and certainly dive with you... More

A few weeks ago, March 2012, i visited Iberostar Tucan/Quetzal in Playa del Carmen for the first time. I had an amazing trip and one of the things that made my trip so great was the SCUBA course I had the pleasure of taking. I got to meet Lily and Enno in the intro SCUBA lesson in the pool and...

I met Lily! This past March was my third vacation at Iberostar Tucan/Quetzal in Playa del Carmen. I had previously gone snorkeling with the Dressel Divers and gone on an intro SCUBA lesson in the pool, but was also too nervous to do more until my friend and I met Lily and Enno this March. Lily explained- many times over-... More

I have just returned from a 10 day holiday in Playa del Carmen. I pre-booked two dives online with the Dressel dive shop at the Iberostar Grand Hotel Paraiso. Doing this saved me 20% from the posted prices. I have dealt with the head office in Spain for over 10 years. I pay the money, get a receipt and local... More

We had a great experience with Dressel Divers. Both my sons tried Scuba diving in the pool. My oldest (12) loved it and went on 3 dives with Dressel Divers with his two cousins (ages 14 and 17). One dive was on the PDC coastline wile the others were in Cozumel. Both adventures were well worth the money. The other... More

Went with Dressel to complete required 4 open water dives. Had to do a pool skills check, fill out some PADI forms, and complete a small test before the first dive. This was $30 US per diver. Dives were $74.00 US per dive (equipment included) If you want to dive in Cozumel with Dressel you will have to reserve it... More
