Signed up with Scuba Tribe to do my first cenote dive. Philip was my instructor and we did two 50 minute dives at Chac Mool. Definitely one of the top 10 experiences of my life... the hydroclines, cave formations, dark/light effects were all unbelievable and Philip made me feel safe the entire time. Definitely an extremely capable guide and Scuba... More

I just completed my Advanced Open Water course with Hector. He is a great instructor. Very knowlegable, great people skills and and a pleasure to learn from. I highly recomend him to anyone who wants to either learn about diving or just wants to go for a dive. More

The service was excellent, great descriptions of possible dive sites and packages, I went with a 1 day Cenote dive ($110 USD which included equipment rental, which many places don't). The dives were amazing and the guide (David) was knowledgeable,experienced and professional. I fully recommend this place and will dive with them again if I return to Playa. More

Hector is great. I showed up at his shop with very limited time, and hadn't been diving for a while - I was on the dive boat two hours later, got a quick no-charge refresher from Hector, and had two gorgeous dives. The equipment is new and well-maintained, Hector is low-key but a consummate professional, and the price is great.... More

Hector and Sophia were great. When diving with Hector 3-23-12. It is nice to have them speak very good English. They are in the new shop and it looks good. Just a block off of 5th. The boat we went on was good size with a canopy. If your experienced or just still new to diving, I would recommend both... More

We are not divers. We are snorkelers. Hector took us on an all day tour that included a cenote and reef snorkel in Puerto Morelos. After being with Hector all day, I can safely say that he is very experienced and customer service is his top priority. He took care of all our needs and was very informative. We went... More

I visited Playa in December 2011 and picked Scuba Tribe to do my PADI Advanced course and Nitrox course. Scuba Tribe offered great package price on both. Hector covered my diving sessions while Sofia did my Nitrox theory lessons. They were very flexible accommodating my schedule and made it very enjoyable. Highly recommended. More
