Safe and Highly Enjoyable - We went to Mexico in July shortly after it reopened due to COVID. We loved loved loved this adventure. Swimming with the whale sharks can not be replaced. Also I was very pleasantly surprised to see how careful and the high tech investments that they made for social distancing, screening, and sterilizing. My guides were Willy and Joseph! They made it a great great time!

It exceeded our expectations! Amazing! - We had an amazing excursion with Contoy Adventures. We had Angel & Carlos on the Caribbean Star. It was such a fabulous day starting with swimming with the whale sharks and then having lunch at the most beautiful beach in Isla Mujeres. They were so much fun and very knowledgeable. Angel told us a lot about where we were located, about the whale sharks and answered all of our questions. Our day far exceeded our expectations. I definitely want to do this again!

Bucket List Item Crossed Off - My amazing boyfriend surprised me with this excursion after telling me no for weeks that he did not want to this as we planned our Cancun vacation. I love sharks and this is a major bucket list item for me. Not only did I get to cross it off, but this company made it even more epic than I could have planned. Our Captain Omar and guide Diego were AWESOME. They were entertaining, educational, and very serious about making sure everyone had a great time and stayed safe. We were able to have a 3rd dive and Omar stopped on the way back for us to enjoy some dolphins. It was like two tours in one! I have never experienced anything so wonderful as this. I do not know if other companies are less expensive, but I do know that if you are going to cross items off your own bucket list, you want it to be the best it can be. And this company is the best you can find!

Diving in Mexico 2018 - Spent 10 days at Royal Hideaway. Dive shop located at the resort. Do not have enough adjectives to describe the outstanding dive support.. Booked a dive at the Cenotes caverns which is good to do once to see it and enjoy the great experience. It is not cave diving, but close to it. Dark and not many fish. Booked the 2-dive day trip to Cozumel and it was outstanding. Unfortunately, TS hung over the area for about 5 days and local diving around the resort area was only fair. Booked the one day whale shark snorkeling trip and it was outstanding. Early pick up (6am) and about 1 hour boat ride to the whale shark feeding area. Small boat and some passengers got very sea sick. Stopped at beautiful beach on way back for lunch. Good to do one time to enjoy the experience. Outstanding service, lunch, and fun! Stephanie at the dive shop was great and enabled us to accomplish all we wanted to do to work around the weather cancellations. Dive masters Dexter and Malte were outstanding on the dives. Dive shop and boat crews made for a very enjoyable diving vacation. Highly recommend
