We just finished our 6th trip to Cozumel diving with Aldora and now struggling to express exactly how good of operation this really is. We have been all over the Caribbean; 13 different countries and islands to be exact and nobody is a good as Aldora. Nobody. We dove 13 times this trip with an average of 85+ minutes per dive, some hitting 100. Barracuda, Devil's Throat, San Juan, Columbia Deep, Palancar Caves, Cantarel, Santa Rosa, several dream sites that will remain undisclosed and we even went to the east side of the island one day when no other boat would go out at all. We dove mainly with Juan this time and he was amazing the whole week. We also dove with Nina for the first time and she was excellent too. Pedro and Gato were our boat captains and they both did a masterful job of keeping us safe in the rough northern waters. ALL of the staff here is that way though - from Matt and Miguel in the office to Sharif and the rest of the DM's in the water - Memo has constructed a business and staff that is consistently unparalleled in both diver safety and customer satisfaction. Aldora has definitely become more "family" than "business" to us over the years. If it were possible to leave my current employment and chase the dream of becoming a DM then the only place I would want on my resume would be Aldora. Keep diving and keep practicing until you have honed your dive skills to at least "extremely proficient" and then get ready to do some amazing diving with one of the most respected operations on the planet. Don't take my word for it - read the other reviews first. Thank you again to Memo, Miguel, Juan and the rest of the Aldora family - we can't wait to be back on Calle 5 again.…

This is an awesome place to learn how to dive. Nina and the crew were incredibly supportive, helpful, informative, and kind. I was very nervous to learn how to dive and everyone, especially Nina, made me feel very comfortable and confident. I am now proud to say that I am a certified PADI Open Water Diver. If you’re going to dive in Cozumel, dive with Aldora!…

I just came back from my first week of diving in 2021 with my first choice of dive operations, Aldora Divers. After years of diving with the Aldora team I've never ceased to be amazed at their exceptionally talents, knowledge and safety measures of the staff and crew. Consistently they provide dive adventures that are unforgettably spectacular and fun. Just a few of the highlights from last week were seeing pods of bottlenose dolphins, reef sharks and eagle rays, lessons in macro photography and macro marine life, and lionfish hunting. But what remains most special to me is the opportunity to dive with such high quality instructors and to dive with the experienced divers they attract. They truly are like family. Cant wait to get back again.…

Pros: steel tanks, small boats so a much more personalized experience, divers ‘vote’ on what sites they’d like to dive (conditions permitting, of course), warm parkas for chilly days between and after dives, no limit on dive time (unlike other companies where 1 hr is the max), knowledgeable dive guides that do a great job of pointing out the cool stuff and give detailed briefings (shout out to Rich), local owned, super helpful and friendly office staff (shout out to Miguel), Memo the owner tries to meet each of his guests by stopping by restaurants where we sit out or safety interval, boats depart from town so saves $$$ from getting a taxi to and from the marina. The only con I have is that there are no female dive guides. You can’t go wrong with Aldora. Hands down the best company I’ve dived with in the 20 years I’ve been coming to Cozumel.…
