About
Planet Scuba Mexico is a professional owner-run scuba center and offers three main activities: Recreational Scuba diving & courses Technical diving & courses Professional Cavern & Cave Development Programs and PADI Instructor Development Courses Compared to many of our competitors, we concentrate on a few selected activities. This allows us to fully dedicate ourselves to the products and services we offer without having to cut corners in customer safety and service. All programs, be it recreational, technical or instructor courses are conducted in house by us personally. You will not be sent off into the hands of partner organizations like many others do. No matter if you are a single diver or travelling in a group, we ensure you have a great time with us! We use brand new and frequently serviced state-of-the-art Cressi scuba equipment for our recreational divers and high-end Apeks and Razor tech gear for all technical and cave divers. We also hold the official dealership for these brands. All our staff are proven professionals with a long track record in customer safety and service and love what they do. The minimum instructor rating required to work for Planet Scuba Mexico is the PADI Master Instructor rating and being either tech or cave qualified to ensure only the best will take you diving. Our aim is to offer you a great experience at Planet Scuba Mexico through customized dives and courses. From start to finish we strive to give you and exciting, safe and relaxed time. The way we do things sets us apart from many others in the area. Our main objective is to show you the beauty of the Cenotes (crystal clear fresh water caverns & caves). We run tours every day and are the only dive shop in town that takes you to all the Cenotes between our center and Tulum. All tours have a maximum of 4 divers to 1 guide and we make sure that all divers within a group have similar dive experience. All Cenotes tours include 2 dives on two different dive sites, each dive running at about 55min. Between the dives you have time to have a light snack and exchange your experience with other divers. Tours usually start at 8:30am and return between 3:00-4:00pm. Guided full cave dives as well as tech and cave courses are all held in-house and start at set dates. Please contact us for more information. Wreck diving is only worth doing when you are diving a proper wreck. We dive the C-56 (a former WWII US mines sweeper!) in the Puerto Morelos National Park and are the only ones in town to do so. A great dive with so much to discover!

A great dive experience. Highly recommend Planet Scuba for Cenote diving and reef diving to Cozumel.

Wow. I just returned from an amazing diving trip with the team at planet scuba. Markus, the owner, did an amazing job planning each dive and ensuring you enjoyed each dive. Markus took the time to explain each dive and the equipment I used was in great condition. Very professional and he knew his way around the cenotes. He picked me up at my resort and was on time every morning. Great personality and did an overall great job. I also went diving one day with Marco (Markus’ other colleague) to Cozumel. Also a great experience.
Overall, I would highly recommend Markus and the team at Planet Scuba!! Very professional, safe, and easy to work with.
Bonus Points: Markus helped set-up a day of snorkeling for my family and another family of four that I was traveling with. He coordinated a van and a guide so they could snorkel while I was diving in the cenote. That worked our very well and my family enjoyed it. Markus provided sandwiches that were not only good, but hit the spot after snorkeling. Again, well planned out and an overall awesome experience. Nice job Planet Scuba!!!

My husband and I have booked with Planet Scuba before and had a wonderful time so it was no surprise we booked with them on a return trip to Puerto Aventuras. Markus is very helpful, communicative, friendly, and knowledgable. He makes you feel at home in planning your dives. We opted for two days of diving, all centoes. Marko, our dive master, was awesome! So calm, steady, and helpful. We love the stops at the local fruit stand for our post dive snacks. We dove Eden and Taj Mahal on day one and Dos Ojos (Barbie and Batcave) the second day and had a fantastic time. We absolutely love Planet Scuba and highly recommend for any divers making their getaway in the Cancun/Playa/Tulum area.

Great service!
The cenote dives were fantastically beautiful.
We had booked 3 days in the cenotes in advance and decided to spend a fourth day on site. The trips and dives are very flexible and tailored to the customer, but are also absolutely organized and professional.
The dive guides cater to all requests and show their passion on every dive.
Markus, as the "boss" of the whole thing, takes care of any other requests and questions from the customers in addition to diving.
Anytime and hopefully again soon!👌

We came to Planet Scuba through Tauchertraum and organized our week of cenote diving through Markus Teupe.
Everything went brilliantly!! Planning, communication, transfers and organization of the dives were perfect.
The only disappointment was the accommodation, because we had expected a simple room but didn't get the one we "thought". We stayed in the Puerta Sol Apartamentos with Roy. There are only 2 guest rooms there. One is on the first floor with a small balcony - very simple but OK if you're prepared for it. The second room is on the ground floor - very dark, about 12 square meters, just a narrow double bed and 1 chair with no balcony or terrace. The landlord is very nice and helpful and our "roommates" upstairs were very nice, so we didn't look for other accommodation. But I wouldn't do that again!
The diving made it all the better and Markus runs his company in an absolutely professional and personal way. Thank you very much for that!
If you want to go to the cenotes, you should definitely book with Planet Scuba - Markus Teupe!

We booked two daves of cenote diving with Planet Scuba Mexico and they booked a whale shark tour for us as well. I was able to reach out to Manuel through email since we live in Arizona and he responded quickly each time I had a question. He really took great care to give me options that worked with our travel dates that still fit in great cenote diving and whale sharks. I really appreciated the care he took to make sure all of my questions were answered before we made the trek out there. Issac was our dive guide for the cenotes, and he was incredible! We dove two days with him and each day he took the time to teach us the history of the sites we dove, explained how diving caves and caverns we different from diving in the ocean, and took great care to plan a dive that made us all feel safe and excited. He was in no rush on the dive and really allowed us to take in just how incredible diving the cenotes truly is. Having all of the knowledge he gave us made diving the caverns even more enjoyable! It was really cool getting to learn the history of the cenotes we dove as well as him teaching is some Mexican/Mayan history as well. If you are considering diving the cenotes, the ocean, or maybe getting more intense training, this shop is really top notch. We cannot wait to go back and dive with them again!

You haven't dove, until you go with this group! They never rush and are always there to make sure you have the best time! Safety is a top concern, and they review the dives before getting into the water with everyone. We had the pleasure of diving with Issac and talking with Manuel back at the shop. Both were enthusiastic and definitely will have us coming back to dive again! A+++++ on destination diving and you must try the cavern diving at The Cenotes if you haven't. It is absolutely breathtaking :)

We purchased a mask, snorkel and fins from Planet Scuba. First off there service was excellent and their knowledge of product helped since we did not know much. I will not go anywhere else to rent or buy snorkel gear. Now that we have our gear we are planning to participate in their scuba diving. Everyone we have talked to says they are the greatest. They make it fun and entertaining. Thanks Manuel

I just returned from my first cenote dive with Planet Scuba and must say it was an unbelievable experience! Living in Puerto Aventuras myself I have tried all of the local dive shops, including those in the resorts. Nothing can compare to the service the guys at Planet Scuba are offering. All new dive gear (they even gave me a dive computer!) and all of the staff are very friendly and gave everyone an excellent experience. We dove Angelita and one other cenote, both very nice and almost no other divers around. So different to what I've seen before with other shops around. After two great dives we were all invited for some sandwiches and drinks. It seems that everyone in this shop is so focused on your satisfaction and giving you the best possible. From check in the evening before until returning to the shop after the dives all was prepared for me and I even didn't have to carry my own gear. Marcus our cave guide was brilliant and by far the best diver I've ever seen. I now found my favorite dive shop in town. Keep up the good work Planet Scuba! I'll be back for more guys!!!!
