Incredible First SCUBA dive
Adam_Z, Mar 2023
My daughter (11) and I did our first dive with Martino at La Calypso. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Martino was excellent. It started at the dive center going over the equipment and basics in order to make the dive a safe one. Then to the cenote to get in the water and experience a truly unique 1st dive. Most people have to do it in a pool, but we got see great rock formations and fish. Martino was an expert and very patient with my daughter and I. Not mention he can speak French, Spanish, Italian and English. We had a French couple with us and he no problem switching back and forth. I would recommend this to anyone, it was definitely worth the price.

Amazing scuba diving experience for beginners in a Cenote
Johana_I, Feb 2023
Hands down to the BEST experience I have EVER had scuba diving! A few years ago I tried scuba diving for the first time in Australia and I had the worst instructor. He was not patient, everything was rushed, and I did not even get to scuba dive. At first I felt insecure of trying it again but I am so glad I did. Alessandro (Alex) was our instructor, here in Tulum and he was absolutely AMAZING! He was patient, understanding of my previous trauma, and guided me every step of the way. Not only did he help me have an unforgettable experience but Alessandro also helped me regain my trust. I highly recommend him. He has a wealth of knowledge and experience and he encouraged me to never let my fears control me. I can't wait to scuba dive again!

Great fun for first time adventure seekers !
Brian_S, Nov 2022
Brenda our tour guide was awesome ! She made a first time scuba dive experience calm and super gratifying . When you are underwater exploring the water is crystal clear and awesome to feel apart of the underwater world we haven’t seen as non scuba divers ! Recommended 100 percent

Hi Brian ! Thanks for this great review !
Breathtaking Dive
Chris_F, Oct 2022
This dive was incredible. Alex, our guide/instructor, was so warm and kind. Scuba diving in Casa Cenote was amazing! Lots of fish and blue crabs to spot. The scenery underwater was breathtaking. Though we were on a beginners dive, some portions of the dive are pretty intense, and go fairly deep into the cenote, if you’re looking for it!
Response from Host, Oct 2022
Wow ! This is an amazing review !
Awesome Scuba Diving Experience
Daniel_S, May 2022
Excellente! My girlfriend and I had an awesome experience scuba diving. I am a certified diver and my girlfriend does not have her license. This experience was a perfect way for my girlfriend to experience scuba diving and keep me entertained as well. The cenote was beautiful and unlike any other dive I have been on. Our guide, Maratino was awesome and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend this excursion.
Response from Host, May 2022

Amazing first time diving experiência
Joana_D, Nov 2021
Probably the best tour for your first time diving experience. Amazing and supportive guide, helping all the time. First he explained us all the basics and answered questions. Then in the cenote we did some exercises to make sure we were ready and then about 1 hour of diving around the cenote- an amazing experience!
Response from Host, Jan 2022

Great diving instruction and cenote
Matt_S, July 2021
Alex was a fantastic teacher for both the newbies and the certified diver in our group. The Casa Cenote was beautiful and not too busy with tourists, which made for opportunity to see through the water clearly and even stop by to see the resident crocodile!
Response from Host, Aug 2021
Thank you so much Matt for the great review ! Hope to see you soon Helene
Fantastico!
Isabella_P, July 2021
Bebe (instructor) and dive shop was great, and my daughter's first dive could not have been better, in better hands, or in a more beautiful place. Bebe even suggested us a restaurant for us in Valladolid, Maison de Marques, which turned out to be charming and delicious, so listen to every word he has to say. He is also so chill. Peace and be well Bebe and smooth diving!
Response from Host, Aug 2021
Wow this is a great review ! Thank you so much Isabella, I am so happy you enjoyed it. See you soon All the best Helene
