Cenotes Diving
I just returned from Playa del Carmen, Mexico where my buddy and I did 4 days of Cenote diving. I had been many times before but my buddy had never been in a cenote. We chose The Cenote Guy to be the dive operator we would use.
Making reservations was very easy, everything being done online and no payment required until after diving each day. The meeting place every morning was Xtreme Dive Center in downtown Playa del Carmen. The diving included transportation to 2 different cenotes each day, a cave-certified guide, lunch, and rental gear (we brought our own – no discount).
Our guide, Paco, was better than we could have hoped for. He was knowledgeable about the ancient history of the area and an expert on the cenotes. Mexican law limits a 4 diver to 1 guide ratio. The water temp in all of the cenotes was consistently 77° F. The shop supplies 3mm full Wetsuits but we used our own 5mm.
Paco took us to the ones we requested and suggested some alternates to others we had reserved. Each one of his suggestions was a perfect “upgrade". He also took us to a restaurant on two days for lunch, and allowed us to pick our own box lunches from a local stand on two days.
After returning in the afternoon, the great crew at Xtreme Divers rinsed and stored our gear overnight. The whole staff treated us like family.
I would not hesitate to use The Cenote Guy for my next trip to the Riviera Maya.
