This was a "Beginner Scuba Dive" excursion that was booked through Carnival Cruise Lines. The staff was very helpful and made this a memorable experience. I was very well impressed all aspects of the excursion. More

Staff was too lazy to strip a weight belt so I could dive with the correct amout of weight. They wouldn't let any one take anything else on board including a a small mesh bag. I did not enjoy changing into my diveskin and wetsuit standing up in the parking lot. Eventually I dragged over a chair from across the... More

It can be a problem with these kind of review websites, that anyone can say what they wish to damage their old employers, competition, etc. You can sometimes tell a bogus review of this sort by how completely different it is to the other reviews and for us, how they took some of our specific services, that we pride ourselves...

I booked diving with Dreamtime Dive center directly through their website. We came first time in July 2011. We are all experienced divers, myself, my 26 years old son and 20 year old daughter. My daughter booked an advanced open water course. Already at the booking process, I felt very welcome, all my questions were answered, and even directions how... More

I really enjoyed the beginner's diving experience. I was really looking forward to the photo package for a great picture to put on my vacation wall at home. When the photos arrived they were of another person that was in our dive group. When I contacted the photographer he assured me that he would look at the date and photo... More

You put your gear together yourself. Divers are trained to do this (myself, included) and so it’s a good idea to this--puts you responsible to make sure your gear is working, but I confess that it’s always lovely to have someone else do it for me. Boat was a little crowded--narrow mostly, so getting around with fins on before you... More

Costa Maya has become a common stop for the Cruise Ships and there is little to do there. The nearby fishing village of Mahahual hosts some restaurants, small hotels and the Dreamtime Dive Center. Since Dreamtime is the contractor for the cruise lines, they won't take private bookings if you are on a ship and they are they only game... More

This is one of four reviews I wrote after four dive excursions on a Carnival cruise of the Western Caribbean.

We went on the cruise that stopped at four famed West Caribbean locations because we wanted to find... More

Booked a 2 tank dive with my 14 year old daughter through Royal Caribbean. This was her first saltwater dive. From the time they met us at the dock, they were very well put together. Our boat had 6 divers, 2 divemasters, a pilot and a mate. They did a great job helping my daughter become comfortable. At the end... More

We loved diving with the great people at Dreamtime. Upon arrival, we were graciously welcomed into their office. Since we have our own dive equipment, we didn't rent any of theirs, but their equipment looked to be in excellent shape and neatly organized. They were ready to hit the boat as soon as our paperwork was finished. This was probably... More
