ScubaCaribe Playa del Carmen Mexico

Cozumel, Mexico

The team at ScubaCaribe Playa del Carmen Mexico runs a tight ship, which we appreciate when we’re diving in a new spot. They're a solid PADI 5 Star Dive Resort, so you know the training standards are high, whether you're taking your Open Water or just brushing up on skills. We especially like their setup for quick Cozumel trips. What makes them special is how they handle getting you over to Cozumel’s reefs. Instead of the usual cattle boat shuffle, they’re efficient, getting you straight to the action. We’ve found their morning two-tank dives hit the sites before the crowds really descend, giving you a quieter experience with the eagle rays and those massive barrel sponges Cozumel is famous for. If you’re staying in Playa and want easy access to Cozumel’s drift diving, without the fuss of arranging ferries and separate dive ops, these are your people. Our favourite dives with them usually involve a slow drift along Palancar Reef, watching schooling snapper shimmer in the light, followed by a shallower cruise over Columbia Shallows where the light just explodes through the water.
