      Great dives in Cozumel!
      I did 4 great dives with BeDiving on Cozumel island. We visited different sites every time and saw turtles, rays, a shark, beautiful coral reefs and amazing fishes! The two instructors I had were super knowledgeable and friendly and I can only recommend the experience 😊

      Best Diveshop in Mexico!!!
      Me and my husband did a couple of fun dives in Cozumel with Be Diving and it was the best experience ever! Not only is Cozumel an incredible place for scuba but Jon and his team made us feel like home the whole time. Everyone is super nice and knowledgeable and we never were put in huge groups so the attention was always spot on! Highly recommend!!!!

      awesome small diveshop with personal care
      We were a couple looking for different diving experiences. Be Diving is a small and professional dive shop that individually selected different dive sites for us. We did rent equipment from the shop. We were diving around Playa del Carmen on the Beach, Cozumel Island, and we even did a few Cenote Dives. We can recommend the shop because of the small group sizes. Furthermore, we were really pleased by their service and are happy to come back whenever we can.

      Great instructor and beyond expectation learning outcome
      As a technical diver, I’m really happy to have John teach my girlfriend scuba diving and lead her into this amazing new world. with years of experience I have seen too many poorly trained divers doing stupid things underwater like kicking sand storms or being coral destroyer, but John is teaching the right thing - trim, buoyancy, kicking methods from very beginning, which build up solid fundamental and would be invaluable in her future adventures. John is not only teaching with patience giving students enough time to practice, but also have the right environment - a tiny pool on site, which proves to be super efficient for a beginner’s buoyancy training. later when my girlfriend dives with other guides they’re saying she looks like have at least 60 dives but actually she just got AOW certified 😂

      Deep diving and Nitrox
      I had a very good time with this diving school. I did 2 specialties, deep diving and Nitorx. The instructor basically explained the theory and paling of the dives to me. During the 4 training dives we saw 3 huge turtles.

      Excellent Instruction and Diving with a Respect for the Natural World
      Had a fantastic experience with BE Diving in May 2023. From the initial contact with Frankie to the final dive instruction wrap up with Jon and follow up with Carla, the experience could not have been better. I dove with my two young adults and Jon and his team welcomed us with a great vibe including a respect and appreciation for the natural underwater world. Two of us were already certified and my daughter completed her certification with Jon. She practiced in the pool before our two day, two-tank dives among the reefs at Cozumel. I was able to brush up on my own skills in the pool before our first set of dives. I have been diving in many places and I can say, Jon takes care of his equipment and his guests! He is passionate about sharing his love of the natural world and it was a treat to go diving with him. Thank you to Jon, Frankie, and Carla for taking care of us from beginning to end. Jon offered an underwater photographer, Lalo (Edward) with Poposkay photography. Lolo did an excellent job capturing our time and memories diving. Highly recommend both BE Diving and Poposkay underwater photography. For future trips we will be booking with BE Diving. There is no better outfit.

      1000/10 experience for Open Water course in Playa del Carmen!!
      1000/10 for BE Diving in Playa del Carmen! I went last week with a few of my friends to complete my Open Water Diving course and couldn't have imagined a better experience. We started our first day by discussing how diving works and the concepts behind scuba diving, and then we spent a good chunk of time in the pool learning about the equipment and getting comfortable underwater. My group was very beginner and our instructor Jon took a lot of time to make sure we felt really comfortable with everything! He was very informative and attentive to each of us and our different experience levels. The second day, we went to Casa Cenote in Tulum for our first two dives and it was BREATHTAKING. Jon and the crew handled everything including travel and lunch which allowed us to focus on the experience and all the skills we learned! The cenote was beautiful and full of fish and we got some great pictures underwater after we practiced our skills. Whenever one of us needed more instruction or reassurance, Jon was very patient and an amazing communicator underwater. The last day, we took the ferry over to Cozumel and did our last two dives in the open ocean along the Mesoamerican reef. I have never seen something so beautiful and couldn't have felt more safe with Jon leading the group! Before each day and dive, Jon clearly communicated what the goal of the dive was to ensure we would focus on the right skills. It was clear throughout the entire course that Jon really wanted to empower us to feel self-sufficient underwater rather than looking to him for everything, so as we continue to dive we have all the knowledge and resources we need to do so safely and successfully. We had a few friends in our group that only did the day diving experience + the BE Diving team worked hard to accommodate all of us and make sure we could all get a dive in together. If you're thinking about doing a day dive or getting your open water certification, there's no better place to get it!!!

    Brilliant experience. It was my first dive since being certified and I was a little nervous. Jonathan picked up on this and took time with me to help calm my nerves, support and make the experience really fun and super safe. Super friendly team very welcoming . I would highly recommend anyone to dive with be diving if you are in playa del carmen.

    I had an amazing experience diving with be diving in Playa del Carmen. I did two dives in Cozumel, they were great! I decided to do two more dives for my open water as I felt super comfortable with the team and wanted to dive again with them. I really recommend them as they are detail oriented, very passionate about what they do and so much fun to be around. Thanks again! <3

    Be Diving was a great experience. We did two dives just off the shores of Xcaret. Jon was very thorough in his briefings and explained the safety points and dive plan very well. I very much appreciated the debrief after the dive also. Felt safe and well looked after. Would highly recommend. P.S. Frankie was a big help too!

    Fantastic staff - Marianna & Jonathan were great people to work with. Jonathan our instructor for the dives was very chill, but very professional. I completed a deep adventure dive to add to my open water certification which was great fun to explore the shipwreck. Very reasonably priced too. Definitely check out these guys if you are planning to dive in Playa.

    Hey Remy, how are you ? We appreciate your words, was an amazing day to be with the sharks. bout the price I would like to clarify. The bull shark diving is a very special and controlled kind of diving n the area. We unfortunatelly dont have much choice to price the service since the operator and local authorities have a fixed price for the actitivity.Our service is very exclusive compared to other dive shops, in terms of attention, equipment, knowledge of the guides and boats. There arelots of dive shop in the areas, besides the freelancers instructors (NOT DIVE SHOPS) that charges very little for a service breaking the market and giving people the refference that diveshop charges too much for a service. Freelancers dont have insurance, physical places and don`t pay taxes ike diveshops do, thats the reason sometimes shops seems more expensive, but we are the ones that charges normal prices. Have a great Day, Jon Have a great

    I did a double tank dive with Be Diving and it was in a single word AWESOME!!
    In an area where you are going to be bombarded with people trying to sell you dive trips you have to be absolutely sure that you are getting a top notch dive guide foe your money. Be Diving spent a lot of time assessing my skill level and paired me with a guide that was able to take me to see some of the largest bull sharks I have ever seen, and a night dive that was unbelievable.
    My guide Javi was an absolute pro that was a pleasure to dive with. Be Diving was able to make a dive trip to the Rivera Maya one that will have 5 gold stars in my dive log forever.
