This company did a great job with the diving trip in Cancun. They took us to do drift diving close to Isla Mujeres and the sights on the reef were fantastic. The company is focused on safety and ensuring that everyone has a great time. I highly recommend them. More

I was staying at Dreams Cancun and kept seeing this unique boat docked at the Solo Buceo pier. I went to enquire near the end of my stay and was greeted by a group of enthusiastic and professional tour operators. As far as I could see, they offered multiple types of scuba adventures, jet ski rental, and a unique snorkelling... More

Well organized dive shop with good conservation practices. The reefs aren't in great shape, but we still saw big schools of grunts, nurse shark, turtle, rays, schools of barracuda, flamingo tongues, and some colorful coral and sponges. More

We have been diving here with 2005 and have always had great personal service and small dive groups, usually 4-5. Today there was 16 people and 3 DM's on a cramped boat, no discussion of the dive site. Once in the water, our DM was good paying attention to his divers but not really into pointing anything out in the... More

Basically dumped us in water,... More

I came to Solo Buceo because it was close to where I was staying and it was a real stroke of good fortune. They offered the most friendly, personal and good value service that I have encountered anywhere. I had originally only planned to do 1 day's diving (an excellent cave dive). Unfortunately due to problem with the van on... More

My wife and I did 3 dives with Sole Buceo. We had "Frog" (Rene) who is the divemaster from the Westin Laguna Mar. We had a great time thanks to Frog. We were his only clients for both days of diving. Rene was great at finding and pointing out sea life. The diving (two reef drift dives and Barco C-58... More

I was in Playa del Carmen with a group of mostly Mexican divers. Upon our arrival, we were greeted by Alberto. He was very warm and friendly and when I asked for coffee, he took me on a short walk to procure coffee's for everyone in our group. There were five guests in a group with a crew of 3.... More
