I had a great experience diving with Alan and Jorge. We went to Casa Cenote for my refresher dive and later continued to Cenote dos ojos. It was a wonderful experience and I always felt well taken care of.
I would definitely come back to do more dives with you and can highly recommend going with them 😊

We shared four epic dives with Alan both at the cenotes and out from Playa del Carmen. Well organised, kind, great snacks, and very professional. Perfect mix of fun and dive etiquette. 100% recommend!

We went on 2 dives in a small group of three. Hairo was really nice and funny, and we had a great time! He told us about the Cenotes, the alligators, and much more in great detail. I would love to go diving with him again sometime. Cheers!

I dived with Alan in Cenote Dos Ojos and had an absolutely amazing experience. From start to finish, I felt completely safe and confident underwater. Alan is not only a highly skilled and professional instructor, but also someone with a great vibe — calm, positive, and genuinely kind. He creates an atmosphere of trust and enjoyment that makes the dive even more special. I couldn’t have asked for a better guide for my first cenote dive. Highly recommended.

This is a geat company. We had two cenote dives on our vacation. Alan was super patient and safety conscious. We appreciate how the day flowed. We also appreciate the complimentary snacks. Who knew spicy peanuts would taste so good?

👌Gorąco polecam odkrycie przepięknych cenotes z Alanem i jego teamem.
Alan jest profesjonalnym i super sympatycznym instruktorem i organizatorem, i współpracuje ze wspaniałymi przewodnikami. Gwarancja błyskawicznych odpowiedzi i organizacji. Zrobiłam z nim kurs sidemount i kilka dni nurkowania w różnych cenotes. Jeden piękniejszy od drugiego… 😍

Updating as I've dove with Alan now two years in a row. I've dove in quite a few locations around the world, usually renting equipment, and seen the good and bad of dive guides and shops. From my personal perspective: ALAN IS ONE OF THE BEST!! He is super friendly, carries quality rental gear, puts safety first, and is a great guide underwater. I can only highly recommend him for anyone diving the cenotes.
Original review (Jan 2025)
I stopped by in Tulum for a day of diving and found Alan via a Google search. He was a wonderful guide and person and I really enjoyed the day with him. Would definitely recommend his services!

We had an amazing experience with Allan, taking us to amazing dive sites and being very flexible with our demands. Communication on WhatsApp was very easy and he gave us great advice to pick the right Cenotes, and gave us amazing brief before each. We almost never saw other divers underwater thanks to perfect scheduling. He was very friendly, professional, had great quality equipment, never hurried us encouraging us to enjoy the scenery of the Cenotes before changing dive site, and on top gave us great recos to enjoy our stay in Tulum. One of my best experiences in 100+ dives.

Wir haben die Tauchschule über Google gefunden und eine Nachricht geschickt. Der Kontakt mit Alan war super professionell und sehr zügig. Wir haben zwei Dives gebucht und hatten einen privaten Dive. Nur meine Freundin und ich mit unserem Guide Jorge. Er war wirklich super nett und sehr erfahren was das Zenoten und Höhlentauchen angeht. Zuerst waren wir bei der Angelita Cenote und er hat uns alles sehr ausführlich erklärt, was uns Sicherheit bei diesen dive gegeben hat. Beim zweiten Tauchgang sind wir mit dem Auto zur zweiten Cenote - Carwash gefahren. Ein Shallow Dive mit unglaublich klarem Wasser. Wirklich richtig schön! Vielen Dank für die zwei unvergesslichen Tauchgänge 🤩🙏🏼
