Just returned back from a great trip to Mexico.. Decided to try Dressel Divers as they were based on the Lindo resort where we stayed.. Having chatted to the overworked and miserable team by the pool I decided to give them a try as I was wanted to re-dive the Cenotes. As expected their charge rate is through the roof... More

I've just returned from two week in Mexico. Whilst there I dived most days and clocked up 20 dives with the guys at Dressel Divers, Iberostar Paraiso, Playa del Carmen. I don't normally write reviews but I thought the guys here were great and would highly recommend them. I met Paul (English Manager) at the London Dive Show and after... More

We have just returned from our two week holiday and completed 38 dives and passed our padi open water certification. These guys are amazing and could not have looked after my family any better. We trusted the team so much that we let our two young kids dive with the team whilst my wife and I sat on the beach!... More

Best value for the money we spent! Ferry, lunch, 2 dive/ snorkel sites, drinks on the boat, more food, ferry back. Olaf was great because... More

Our family had a great time. My brother, my dad, and I were amazed by the reef and all of its many inhabitants. My mother on the other hand had a fun time drinking at the resort. The boat ride back was just gorgeous due to the astonishing sunset. Worth missing our flight...Definitely! ;-)

It was a great diving experience at riviera maya. Easy trip planning, breathtaking bullsharks & unique centotes. We want to thank the whole team of Dressel divers Paraiso for their amiable support.
