Just returned from my second two week trip to Royal Haciendas in Playa del Carmen and I'm already planning my third trip there. Because of Dive Balam, it is my favorite place to dive. Every single person at Dive Balam is friendly, professional, super safety conscious, and tons of fun. A great team. Add to that dive sites with beauty... More

Just got back from a 2 weeks @ the RH's with my dive buddy and we had the very best time possible and it's all due to the entire Dive Balm team of Marcos, Gunther, Santiago, Victor, Richard, Paulo, Christian, Stepania, Mya, Carlos, & Amadaos. We've been diving for 5+ years & have never come across a more professional and... More

I got my open water diver certification with Gunther at Dive Balam. Patient, Professional and FUN! Gunther was flexible with his schedule to allow for my other vacation activities and then after I was certified I went for a dive at Cozumel. I love diving and love Dive Balam, the whole team is customer service oriented, friendly and fun, I'll... More

SAFETY, SAFETY, SAFETY! So apparent in this group of professionals. These aren't your typical dive masters. My partner and I finished our rescue dive training with Gunther, and his patient approach to adding suggestions for improving our techniques was wonderful. These folks do it all from making the "new to SCUBA" experience special for the curious, working one-on-one with the... More

We have been diving with Dive Balam for the last five years and the experience has been outstanding. Marcos is the leader of the group and he runs a very professional operation. We feel very confident when diving with Marcos and the rest of his crew which includes Christian, Gunter, Maira, & Carlos along with the crew on the boats.... More

I have been diving since 1974 and may have had the best dive ever today. I have gone with Dive Balam quite a few time now and always have good dives. The trip to Cozumel today ranks at the top of my list. The whole crew is great and the service is excellent. Thanks to everyone and can't wait to... More

My wife and I just returned from our first night dive with Maira and the Dive Balam team. It was a fantastic experience and we saw a lot of night life that normally doesn't come out during the day. A moray eel swimming, three octopuses, lobsters, hermit crab, other crabs, two turtles and abundant fish and beuatiful coral. Was a... More

Been diving at the Haciendas with DiveBalam for the last 5 years. Christian always asks to get on this site to provide information. Well Christian we will be back again this Nov. to dive. Yes it is fantastic. The crew is great and run a tight ship. They know what they are doing. If you want a super dive experience... More

We got our certification with Dive Balam last year, after several years of occasional 'discovery' dives. This year we did our first 2-tank dives with Marcos and crew, and our first -- superb -- dive at the Cozumel wall. The diving is excellent in Riviera Maya, you see something new and awesome almost every time. But the Dive Balam team... More
