I began the day by telling myself that seeing just one whale shark would be great. Well, how about over 60???!!! Luz Maria's tour was perfect. She only takes 8 persons maximum, and today we were 4; she will stay with the whale sharks as long as you like. Other tours let you jump in and swim maybe three times... More

I just returned from vacationing in Puerto Morelos, first two weeks of April. I had planned on diving every other day and soaking up the sunshine and enjoying the local culture on the other days. While there the wind conditions closed the port for all but two days, no ocean diving, very unusal and just bad luck for me. Since... More

We had a wonderful time with Maria! As a family of four, we visited the Cenotes of the Yucatan Peninsula. She described the ecology of the area, as well as how the cenotes formed. We visited three cenotes, each were quiet and not buzzing with too many tourists. She also took 12 of us on a great snorkeling trip to... More

This was my first "real" scuba experience and Luz was just wonderful. She arranged everything including picking me up at my hotel, transportation to Cozumel and all equipment - all for what I felt was a very reasonable price. If I returned to the area without my home base scuba crew - I would DEFINITELY hope to have Luz as... More

Luz Maria, owner of Buceo Xtabay, is the perfect guide. Personable, friendly and a former high school biology teacher, she was able to educate us about sea life on the reef. She picked spots with good visibility and a comfortable temperature. She photographs your experience and emails you digital pictures of your adventure. A fruit snack concludes the trip and... More

But the preparation for the dive and the professionalism of Luz Maria made the new experience to a wonderful and... More

Luz Maria and Francisco - Thanks for some fantastic diving trips - we hope we can join you again sometime! With only a one week holiday we wanted to make sure we had some experienced guides who would take us to the best dive sites and give us as much time in the water as possible. We are experienced divers... More

I took the Whale Sharks trip with Luz Maria and some friends this August and it was a one in a lifetime experience. Luz Maria and her staff took us two hours away in open ocean to swim with whale sharks. They are knowledgeable, caring professionals who made sure we swam and experience these wonderful sea creatures. The trip included... More

Luz Maria took me on a wonderful diving adventure. I had the pleasure of diving one-on-one with Luz Maria. Not only was she an excellent dive guide - she was a great tour guide as well! She shared a lot of the history of the area between dives; as well as savory homemade sandwiches. Our first dive was a wreck... More
