Let's set the total picture first. We are just average Joe's from Minneapolis on vacation in Playa del Carmen and we were able to get here using local transportation (bus) and found the dive shop easily on our own. No need to hire an expensive taxi, take the bus for $3 per person and walk 10 minutes from the bus... More

We rented a locker and lock for 60 pesos. Brought our own snorkel vests. Snorkelled for over an hour, saw 5 turtles, including a baby. Loved being able to shower off before heading to Tequilaville for Coconut Shrimp and Cervacas. Will definitely be back again next year!

For about $15 USD you get a snorkel, mask, fins, and life jacket. They also have lockers to rent for a minimal fee. As we drove into Akumal, I had no idea where to park, or where the beach was. Turns out the beach is right out the back door of the Akumal Dive Shop. You can park in the... More

Akumal Dive shop offers a range of experiences. We booked the Robinson Crusoe day trip. It was awesome! Captain Angel and his mate ensured that everyone from age 6 and up had a great day of sailing, snorkeling, and relaxing at the beach. The shore lunch of ceviche and fish tacos with cold cervezas completed the scene. On top of... More

The crew and staff were first class. Our original trip was canceled due to wind, but they rescheduled us two days later. We didnt catch anything -- but we still had a great time. After our trip was over we snorkled in the bay and had lunch at the restaraunt in the bay. It was a great day.

I visited the area for an extended period of time while completing numerous courses from this shop and another nearby. The service offered at Akumal Dive Shop is unmatched, very professional take at dive operations, a breath of fresh air compared to the buzz of most other touristy getaways. Customer service passed expectations, the people working and leading will go... More

If you are a beginner in this kind of activities, you have to hire them! The experience is awesome and it would rather depend on what you want to do and your budget. Snorkeling start at $25USD. Take advantage of the photographer they will be joining you in your trip anyways so take a lot of pictures and enjoy. (its... More

We used this Dive Shop because we needed to rent a locker while we went snorkeling. They told us in order to rent a locker, you also have to rent a minimum equivalent to life jackets, which ended up being perfect anyway. The small locker was big enough for both of our bags and clothes. They do ask for a... More

Found Akumal Dive Shop as one of the other closest shops to my resort and they were really easy to communicate with before I headed down to Riveria Maya. My friend and I did the Cozumel Tour (only $120 USD) and that covered everything including transportation from our hotel to their shop to pick up the gear and then all... More
