As a diver as well as a snorkeller I always like to do a bit of a facility review to get an idea of the company I am dealing with since I am literally putting my life in their hands. In Mexico it is quite common to find conditions that give you pause, if not scare you witless. I am... More

Had a great time snorkeling with XTC at Xcalak and captain George. It was an adventure getting there, but once we did the staff and the reef made it worth while. We had two stops and George allowed us ample time to explore each site. The reef was vibrant with coral and fish. George also took us to a river... More

We took two trips with XTC, one to bird island, which was a bit disappointing (not many birds) but we did see Manatees (or at least their snouts) and did a bit of snorkelling. The second trip was to Belize, where we had a fantastic time snorkelling with rays and nurse sharks. It takes a while to get there and... More

Regarding my TEC course at XTC. Through all the training that I have done, I don't think I have been part of a better course than the one I experienced with Team XTC. I came in with a tight time frame, and my expectations were far exceeded. First of all, everything was done in a professional manner, and in a... More

Diving at XTC was amazing! They have really nice dice sites, lots and lots of things to see and discover. I did some fun dives, and took the National Geographic Specialty course, wish was not only very interesting, but also tons of fun to do. Dive instructors are super friendly and make you feel comfortable and relaxed. You know you're... More

I wanted a dive location in Mexico that was close to Belize and off the beaten track. After much research I found the little town of Xcalak seemed to be just what I was looking for. As I am quite a nervous diver, I started emailing the 2 dive centres there using my usual strategy...I bombard them with loads of... More

We visited while on a cruise, and found it difficult to secure a taxi (considering we were a group of seven) for a reasonable price, ride an hour, do our 4 hr snorkel trip (mostly boat ride) & get back in time to sail out! Not XTC's fault. The staff & crew were all very nice & accomadating. Our snorkel... More

I know that there is no way that I would have gotten certified without Xesus and the great folks at XTC!! They have everything - knowledge, professionalism, patience and quite a a lot of craziness. They are the BEST!!! More

Excellent, friendly and helpful team at XTC, and really nice new kit too! The dive sites are just fantastic, and what a treat not to have loads of other diver groups around. There's a really good variety of dives to be done - do try a night dive too. Can't wait to go back. More
