I've been on four dives with Pepe over the past few years, and each time is a new great experience. First time, I was a bit rusty as I had not dived in a few years and we took it light so he could gauge my experience level. We were diving off of Playa del Carmen where we saw a... More

I had the pleasure to dive with Pepe twice. He is the most pleasant, professional and experienced dive master that I have dove with. I have been on diving for over a decade and I only wish that I had Pepe on every dive. My first trip was to the Ceynotes. He made it magical. The following year we went... More

Pepe is awesome. We dove Angelita and Taj Mahal cenotes - seriously some of the most unique dives. Pepe was a great dive guide - attentive and hand-holding just enough to make you feel safe, but he'll also push your limits and challenge you to explore the best dives of the Riviera Maya if you are so willing. Beyond diving,... More

I was able to get out for a couple of dives with Pepe and it was amazing. He was so understanding of the varied speeds of learning in my group of people, and kept it exciting for the quick learners and the slower learners. His passion for the sport of diving is evident in his photos full of smiles and... More

We have been two times at Riviera Maya and went always with Pepe for diving. It was very professional, funny, exciting, he knows the best spots...... .........exceptional good. We absolutely recommend him. ...and don't forget to spend a evening at a "real" Spanish restaurant. This is big fun!!! Tom & Albiana More

I cannot give enough praise to Pepe who made my trip to Mexico not only fun and exciting but I also left with a sense of achievement having got my nitrox qualification with him. He even managed to reignite my wife's interest in diving again which I am very grateful for . I can't wait to get out to Mexico... More

I have been 4 times in my life in the Riviera, it's a paradise in the surface, but the wonders underwater are amazing if Pepe is diving with you and your family...he is so respectful, balanced and friendly that even sharks love him! Thank you Pepe Urbina Bravo! We´ll see again in summer 2012 More

Pepe Urbino was recommended by a friend who had taken his entire family to Mexico to be certified as scuba divers. He left with everyone certified and a great family experience thanks to Pepe. My same friend and I with a few other couples decided to return to Mexico to do a dive trip to Cozumel and use Pepe to... More

Pepe was able to certify my friend while taking me along for some very interesting dives. Pepe is safe and conscientous, but he also has a... More
