👍👍 Best diving shop in town! We were looking for a dive shop that is big enough to provide us a good service but not too big so they can take care of us, after a lot of research, we found Scubamobile. We did our PADI Advanced Open Water with Nicky and Sergio, everything went perfectly,  they really h...

Best Maya Tours
Tour operator
👍👍 We choosed the 3 nights and 4 days tour with Best Maya Tours because of their proposed activities, their great reviews and the good price/performance ratio! And I can only recommend them as many others, because our guide (so called "Captain Snake") showed us the best spots in Yucatan and teached us...

Dive Mike
Dive shop
👍👍 Dive Mike’s is the place to book your scuba/snorkeling experience in PDC. Their communication was excellent and Alex was an amazing guide. Part of our group went diving and the others snorkeled, but we were able to enjoy the day together, heading out to the reef on the same boat.

👍👍 First time diver. Would happily recommend for others in the same situation. We were a small group (5). Diving instructors took the time to educate and paid appropriate attention to assist where they thought individuals needed the help. They were also very patient, allowing people to go at their own...

👍👍 We were greeted early morning by our coach driver Reuben and our tour guide Alex. As a lovely touch we were offered coffee and pastries. Water and juice was also offered. We were briefed by Alex who advised us what to expect in a really clear and fun way. We arrived at Coba ruins where Alex's comm...

Tourist attraction
😐 Solo de noche es bonito playa del carmen, con toda su música, glamour, dinero girando por cada uno de los negocios, que además son elitistas, con preferencia al extranjero, se ve la diversidad de la gente, disfrutando andar por la 5ta avenida. Pero de día, salir por la mañana a dar un paseo de playa...

👍👍 The first time you are hooked to the kite and feel its power, it's easy to get discouraged and think you'll never have the finesse to control it. But the instructor helped us understand what we needed to focus on and how not to overreact to the kite, and by the end of the lesson, we were both feelin...

😠 Lost my dive voucher even though it was supposed to be "saved" in there system at corporate in Madrid. On top of that. This dive center was not a good fit. I'm a Master Instructor. And had to beg after 6 dives to go to Punta Sur. They stay on a very strict schedule each day. Same dives over and ov...
