We have had trouble with rental equipment and guides in Mexico in the past, but not this trip. Stephan and his international team bring their world-wide experience to the dive shop at the Reef Playcar Hotel. As a result, we enjoyed one of our favorite diving experiences. After talking with Stephan at the front desk for five minutes, I decided... More

If you're looking for something to do, and you're new to Playa del Carmen, Cancun, Reviera Maya,you should really try Xcaret. Ususally your resort has a rep from tour companies offering this package. It has choices of swimming with the dolphins, exploring underwater caves and other relaxing fun things to do. My son and I have been there 3 times,... More

Just got back from 7 days in PDC and stayed at the Reef and dove with the gang at The Reef Marina. I did 9 dives while I was there & got to know many of the instructors in the process. Bruno, David,Tony, & Stephan were awesome. Not only are they professional, thorough & detail oriented, but they go out... More

We recently stayed at the Riu Yucatan and chose to dive with Reef Marina because we did our 'homework' before we travelled and then when we arrived we called at the centre, we asked our questions and we were answered by the same person (unlike the guys on the beach that try to get you to use their centre and...

The session included some class time with a video and instructional training, followed by some time in the pool to learn the basics and equipment and then a dive at a nearby reef. I had some trouble equalizing my ears and working... More

My girlfriend and I opted for the "Mexican package". 2 reef dives near Playa (Tortugas and Sabalos), 2 Cenote dives (Kukulkan and Chac-Mool), 2 reef dives off Cozumel island (Tormentos and Paradise). We first took a quick refresher course with Antonio in the pool, who the next day took us out on the Playa reef. First class instructor who was... More

We only used the dive shop this time around when we visited Playa. We had been there last July and found them fantastic to work with. If you're new to diving - THIS is where you need to go! The staff is so patient and kind with the newbies. I can't imagine having a better experience on my first two... More
