    If it would be possible I will give 6 🌟. It was amazing experience. Great diving with Pura Vida Diving. Personal approach to customer, all needed information provided in advance. Before each diving very good briefing. I am diving for some years already and I had possibility to visit many parts of 🌎. And diving in Playa del Carmen with Pura Vida was one of the best. It was not only because of good spots but also because of people. If anyone is looking for diving centre in Playa del Carmen- don't look too long, Pura Vida is the best choice. I spent some time in advance to find someone to divie with and from very beginning of communication I knew that this will be the best choice. And because of that I have decided even to make SSI Nitrox course with Pura Vida. Once again thank you and hope to dive together again.

    We had amazing dives with pura vida ! Cesar made sure to tailor the dives to our level and what we wanted and organized everything perfectly. We also passed our deep dive and nitrox with them and it went amazingly thanks to our instructor Paulina! I liked that César tailored everything for us and didn't push us to "buy more" as did other dive centers. The equipment was new and very good. Would recommand 100%

    I am so glad that I found Cesar and Paulina for this training. They gave me the best experience ever, and really took care of me during all of it. They answered my questions and made sure I knew what I was doing. They really went above and beyond during the whole training and dive experience.

    I recently spent eight amazing days diving in Cenotes with Cesar and Rafa as my dive masters, and I can't recommend them highly enough! They were simply incredible. Cesar and Rafa are both extremely knowledgeable and experienced, and they went out of their way to make sure that I was comfortable and confident throughout the entire experience. The diving itself was truly breathtaking. The Cenotes are some of the most beautiful and unique underwater landscapes I've ever seen, and Cesar and Rafa knew all the best spots to explore - and more importantly, when to go to them! They were always there to answer my questions and offer helpful tips to improve my diving skills. But what really sets Cesar and Rafa apart is their passion for diving and their genuine love of sharing it with others. They were so friendly, patient, and encouraging throughout the entire trip, and they really made me feel like part of their diving family. Overall, I can't recommend Cesar and Rafa enough. If you're looking for an incredible diving experience in Playa del Carmen, look no further. These guys are simply the best!

    This company is awesome!! Cesar was super responsive and happy to answer all my questions when booking. Our guides, Paulina and Rafael were excellent teachers and made sure we were comfortable on our dives. Highly recommend booking your dives with this company and checking out the cenotes!

    These guys were great. The staff was knowledgeable, helpful, fun. Our experience under water was incredible- I’ll be coming back again soon!

    Everything was perfect from start to end. Super clear and prompt communication (initially on email and then WhatsApp). Cesar was super friendly and helped organise everything. The dives with Julio, Paulina and Cesar were fantastic. They are experienced instructors, who are passionate about their jobs and you can tell! The price is better than some of the other dive shops in Playa del Carmen and the communication SO much better - I was really surprised how long other shops took to reply to the initial inquiries (and one didn't even reply at all). I did 3 days of diving (6 dives in total between Playa del Carmen, Cozumel and cenotes) and also did my Nitrox SSI certification. Thank you for the amazing experience guys and for the pictures&videos Paulina! I hope we get to dive together again in the future.

👍 Very nice Dive shop. The instructors are the best. Loved it. The Cozumel dives are a bit pricy.... it would've been way cheaper to contact a local dive shop in Cozumel for those dives. Their Cenote dives were superb... absolutely loved it. Very small groups and the dives are very personalised.......
