Open Water Course in Cenote & Ocean + 1 Cenote Dive from Playa del Carmen

Live changing experience. Great team and great teachers that will make your experience one to remember. Extremely recommended.

I would send all future travelers, divers or not, to Ko'ox ("Lets Go" in English) in Tulum. Particularly in the direction of Victor Rosado, our extremely likeable instructor. His professionalism, passion, patience and knowledge amounted to some of the highest caliber of instruction I have received in any area; not just diving. Learning to dive can be daunting, but these characteristics made for a reassuring and totally fun atmosphere. My wife and I are new divers. Our instruction consisted of sessions with Victor, for the most part just the three of us, in Casa Cenote and on the reef in the Ocean adjacent. We count ourselves lucky that we were able to remain with the same instructor throughout, and also lucky that weather permitted us to dive in the Ocean. After qualifying, we went back to Ko'ox the following weekend to dive the cenote and the reef again because we couldn't imagine a better way to spend a morning. Learning in the Cenote has to be the best way to learn to dive, hands down.

I highly recommend this company. They take care to keep the experiences in small groups and recommend them based on your level. It’s been 9 years since I did my open water, so we took it easy on our first dive. Victor was thorough in all safety elements and so calm and supportive when I was freaking out underwater! Thankfully, because it was just us and the instructor, there was no pressure waiting for me to adjust myself to being underwater again. The ocean dive was incredible and I felt safe and supported the whole time. We ended the day with a cold cola and sand which provided by Victor! So welcome! This isn’t the cheapest dive shop and the quality that you pay for is worth every penny!
