I was drawn to Pluto dive as it is a locally owned/operated shop, which IMHO are always the best businesses to frequent. (we own a mom/pop ski shop AB Ski in Frisco, CO, hence our prejudice!!) My husband and I went on 2 reef dives last week. Our guide was Alex and he was great. Oddly enough, I was a... more

I booked a few days of cenote diving with Pluto by chance, having found them on the Internet. It turned out I couldn't have made a better choice! The staff are very helpfull, punctual and competent - which is not always the case in Mexico. The dive shop offers rentals and they will help you with finding proper sizes and... more

We are reasonably novice divers, I contacted Barbara from Pluto Dive to see what her recommendations would be for us. The prices were very reasonable. Barbara recommended a reef dive in the Playa Del Carmen Area and she recommended that we try a beautiful Ceynote dive. We were the only 2 divers on our group dive with Barbara, she took... more

Barbara and Alberto were extremely accommodating and very helpful. The dive shop is about 3 blocks from the beach for the open water dives. Alberto knew the area very well and was a great guide. I will be a return customer the next time I'm in Playa Del Carmen. more

My girlfriend and I had the distinct pleasure of spending 5 wonderful days diving with Barbara, Alberto, and Alex from Sept. 8-12. Aside from the weather being absolutely gorgeous, the water was warm, the viz was incredible, the life was abundant, and the food was amazing. We had planned the trip months ahead of time, and in the slack, had... more

I am from California, and thought it was time to finally get my PADI certification. After searching all over the Yucutan peninsula, I found Pluto Dive. Alberto and Barbara are co-owners of this amazing dive shop. They are part of a large ex-pat Italian community in Playa del Carmen. As an instructor, Alberto was smart, patient, and very fun to... more

My husband and I took our Open Water Diver certification course with co-owner Alberto Salvini at the Pluto Dive shop in Playa del Carmen the first week of August 2009. We were staying in a condo right around the corner and so their location was very convenient, as it would be for anyone staying in Playa's north end, or really... more

We just returned from a scuba diving trip to Riveria Maya, Mexico. We did all of our diving with Pluto Dive shop, I highly recommend them to anyone no matter what level of certification you may have. Their type of service was unmatched by any other dive shop I have had the pleasure of diving with. They stored, cleansed, hung... more

I dove with my longtime friends Jessica and Steve (who will also post a review). Steve arranged the diving for this, our first trip together, and he did a great job! Pluto Dive was outstanding. We booked 9 dives altogether, 3 days each with 2 tank ocean dives, + 1 night dive, along with 1 day (2 tank) Cenote dives.... more
