More knowledgeable and professional staff than most other places that we have gone diving. Great plus for this dive shop! Friendly and they really know the reef, corals and fish. Saw an amazing group of huge tarpon, a hawksbill sea turtles, and snapper. They made sure we were both comfortable and competent, a good combination! Thanks CJ, Danny, and Thalie!

The hotel provides accommodation so if you want to spend some quality time with your partner that's the place to be. I did my instructor course with them, Jules was my course director and the other... More

I had a wonderful time snorkeling and learning how to dive with the folks at XTC Dive. My instructor for the "Discovery Dive" was thorough, patient and encouraging. I can't wait to get certified. The guides for the snorkeling knew the area and did a great job. They knew the area and did a great job trying to make sure... More

We had planned to go to Xcalak for the rumored-to-be-good diving, and found a wonderful place to stay at Sin Duda Villas, about 5 minutes up a surprisingly bumpy road from town. The experience at Sin Duda was very "tranquila", and Margo and Robert were excellent and generous hosts -- we'd definitely recommend a stay in their wonderful hotel by... More

This was my first visit to Xcalak and diving with XTC Dive Center was an excellent experience which I highly recommend to everybody who is planning a trip to the area (the road is very good and it takes a little over 4 hours to drive from Cancun to Xcalak). The booking with the dive center was very easy. The... More

XTC Dive Center provides some of the most safety-conscious diving we've ever experienced. The variety of diving certifications and instruction is very impressive; all types of classes are available as are 3-month internships for dive master certification. The ratio of divemasters to client divers is very low (on each trip, we had 4 to 6 divers accompanied by 2 divemasters... More
