We did the advanced open water course in Feb with Anna and Gerardo and were thoroughly impressed with their professionalism, focus on safety and ability to create fun and educational diving experiences.

My husband and I did a cenotes dive/snorkle excursion with DiveXplore. The previous reviews are spot-on. They owners, Geraldo and Anna, are delightful people who are highly qualified, have broad professional diving experience, and are safety-conscious. Their operation focuses on small groups and providing highly personalized service. We'd definitely dive with DiveXplor again. Highly recommended. More
