2 Tank cruise ship dive - Had a great time with this group. They worked around my cruise ship schedule without any complications. The dive master pointed out several things would have not seen without her help.

Fabulous dives during cruise - Came to Costa Maya on cruise ship. Guides were very thorough & made sure with timing that we had plenty of time to get back to ship. Dive sites were 5-10 minute boat ride from shore. Lots of coral, fish, vis about 75 feet. Highly recommend.

Great experience and memories! - Awesome team! I had a great time doing 2 fun dives. It is only my 2nd dive since the ow certificate and first one where the waves were so strong. I was super nervous but out DM Rickie and Sebastian were professional, fun, and responsible. 🥰🥰🥰🥰 I hope to see them again. Rickie was nice enough to offer being my dive buddy since I was there solo. Also taught me some Spanish 😆
The water was warm, although not super clear, we saw many many fishes and even a lobster! I hope i will see a manatee next time!

Good diving with friendly, caring staff - would choose again in better weather! - We dove with Noah and Miguel @ Mar Adentro in December, choosing the two tank dive. We arrived for the day via cruise ship, but had booked with Mar Adentro via Shore Excursions Group. We took a $10.00 ($5.00 per person) taxi from the port area to Mar Adentro - a 10 minute drive. The diving was good, that day the water was not particularly clear and because our ship docked at 1pm, we didn't start our dives until around 3pm - and the sun set around 6:30. Noah was our divemaster for dive #1, and Miguel led us for dive #2. The team were friendly and took care of our safety. We both had trouble equalizing and since we were the only two divers in our group, our dive masters took time to let us clear our ears before proceeding. We essentially ran out of daylight and since the visibility was so-so, it was not easy to see much, but we did view large spiny lobsters. Portions of the dive wandered through canyons that you could dive down and explore. This was unique and we would enjoy exploring this terrain more on a sunny, clear-water day! The staff in the shop were upfront about the poor visibility due to recent rains and since we are relatively new divers, we took it in stride, since diving for us at this stage is about gaining experience. I would go back again and dive with this operation, especially if my schedule allows for an earlier arrival with better daylight. We used shorty wetsuits with surf shirts, but in December, the air is chilly after dark when you are wet, so a full suit might be better. With warmer air and more sun, the shorty should have been adequate. The water temp was warm, not cold. After changing and collecting ourselves, the crew called us a taxi and we made it back to the cruise ship with about 30 minutes to spare, so with a 3pm start, it may be safer to choose a single tank dive in order to have more time in port. We weren't stressed, but if there had been any taxi mishaps, we might have been late to the ship. Bottom line, Noah and Miguel and the whole team were professional and we enjoyed our dives!

2 tank dive Dec 2024 - We were staying near El Placer and did a 2 tank dive with Mar Adentro. The ocean conditions were a bit rough but once we were down there was up to 30 ft vis and no current. It was just my husband and I and our dive master Noah for the first dive. We saw a big turtle! The gear was good, we loaned equipment and had no issues with it. The boat is nice, and everyone was friendly. On the 2nd dive, a 3rd diver joined us. Unfortunately the vis decreased and he ended up losing the group. Our dive master did everything right, we looked around and didn't see him, did our safety stop, surfaced, and notified the captain. They found the 3rd diver when he surfaced and everything was OK. I would dive here again. We knew the conditions weren't going to be ideal for diving since there had been a front and lots of rain lately, we still had fun!

Great little dive shop - I’ve been using Mar Adentro Diving since 2021. The people have always been very professional and helpful. If you’re arriving via a cruise ship, like I do, it’s a short taxi ride to the dive shop. I have made multiple dives with these people and can highly recommend them.

Relaxed diving school with professional offer - We had a nice dive with good conditions. We would particularly like to highlight our dive guide Noam. His organization, his speeches and his behavior as a guide underwater were outstanding!
Contact with the diving school regarding time etc. was possible via WhatsApp without any problems. The price was really fair and the equipment in perfect condition.

The guides were very... - The guides were very friendly and professional. The setup for the dive was a little disorganized, and you have to carry gear some distance. Overall it was a nice experience but not top of diving experiences we've had. That being said, for the price it's really great value.
