Alex is a polite, fun and knowledgeable operator. He plays by the rules, and knows how to have fun when the situation allows. I am Cave Certified and an Advanced Open Water Instructor that operates a dive charter in Florida. I felt that Alex raised the bar in customer service and value. The "Caverns" are absolutely incredible in the Q.Roo.... More

After 8 years without diving I couldn't have chosen a better place to start again: Cenotes in Playa del Carmen, Mexico. Having Alex as my instructor made all the difference, he is very professional and made me feel safe and relax to enjoy the natural beauty of this amazing place! Gracias Alex, looking forward to dive with you again!!! More

Alex took us to the cenote chac-mool location. He was extremely patient and professional and explained everything very clearly. I'd recommend using him as your dive master if you are traveling to this area. More

I am an avid diver. I have been on 20 or so trips so I know when I see a good dive guide and operation and when they aren't so good. I've done several cenote trips, and by far Alux Diver was the best one. First off he was very responsive to email. This trip I had contacted several operations... More

My husband and I went with Alux to dive Dos Ojos, one of the best rated cenotes (cave diving) by Playa Del Carmen. Alux was confident, efficient, patient and made sure we avoided the crowds in order to see all the sights in the cenotes. We would recommend Alux with the highest of ratings! In fact, we plan on diving... More

What a great experience! Alex is very professional but is also alot of fun. I felt very, very safe as a beginner diver. Pick up was right on time. The dives were incredible. Alex was very knowledable and helpful with info about non-cenotes dives. I couldn't be any happier and highly recommend! More

I had the absolute pleasure of diving with Alex from Alux Diver. Wow! What a great guy and a great business he runs. From the... More

Couldn't have asked for a better dive experience. We had a small group: just myself, my wife, and another man we picked up on the way to the Chak Mool (sic?) cenote. We all had varying degrees of experience, and I was not quite sure what to expect about the cave diving at first (how deep would we go, would... More
