Lola was amazing, very patient guide! Cannot recommend this business enough. Will be coming back for sure. Sean

Agua Clara Cozumel for the win! Lola was a great guide! We did two dives and a lovely lunch on the sandbar in between. Saw all kinds of fish, rays, a turtle, a sea anemone, multiple colors and varieties of coral plus the white sand and turquoise water of the Caribbean. Crew was professional, helpful, and engaging. Highly recommend Agua Clara Diving for your scuba adventures on Cozumel. read more

Finished my open water certification. Loved our two dive trip with Agua Clara on Cozumel, absolutely beautiful. Winds were bad the day we originally booked the trip, and we were able to change our trip to the next day very easily. Maria and Katarina were great, would dive with Agua Clara again in a heartbeat! read more

Leo was a phenomenal, fun and interesting dive master! I really enjoyed talking about travel and his home of Argentina. I absolutely adored Dos Ojos! My favorite Dive site was the bat cave! But don't get me wrong the barbie line was just as incredible! This was my first time cave diving and I am hooked much better than ocean diving. I really appreciated the fact that they packed a vegetarian lunch for me! Another cool point that I hope other dive companies start doing is they use reusable water bottles and don't hand out snacks that come in plastic packaging. When picking a dive company pick one that's eco-friendly and use this company! If we pollute the planet we can't dive it! read more

Agua Clara Diving - Awesome coffee shop! Next time we'll dive - Tours Near Me - Tulum, ROO

Staff are very friendly and efficient. My guide Beto showed me four cenotes. He's super attentive and professional. He introduced the history of every sites, guided through the caves slowly, pointed out all the relics crocodiles underwater, made sure everyone enjoy and safe. Highly recommend! read more

I can't say enough good things about my experience at Aqua Clara. First, they were very responsive via email and answered all of my question for my booking. When we arrived for our dive we were greeted by Nico who was our PADI Divemaster for the day. His knowledge of local history, excitement for scuba and overall passion for life made him a pleasure to spend the day with. He was accommodating even as far as stopping on our return to allow me and my wife to convert our currency as we had not had a chance to do so yet on our trip. We did a dive at an absolutely beautiful cenote in Tankah park. Fortunately for us the park was very empty that day so we had the place all to ourselves. From there we took a short 10 minute ride to a boat where we did a second dive out on a reef. It was also great. We saw all sorts of reef fish including lobsters and the invasive Lion fish. Nico was knowledgeable and patient as he guided us through our final Open Water Certification dives. My wife was very nervous as she struggled with some of the skills when we got our Scuba certification in Puerto Rico. Nico made her feel comfortable and confident. Thank you Nico and Aqua Clara for a great experience. We will be back to do some cavern dives and hopefully one day soon the Bull shark dive. read more

Agua Clara Diving - Tours Near Me - Tulum, ROO

Best diving school in Tulum. Full stop. Did my PADI Open Water certification with Rafa and he was amazing. He really cared about making sure we learned all the basics properly and built the good habits that would serve us well in the future. The level of attention and detail he provided was much appreciated and spoke to his professionalism as an instructor and teacher. Another reason why you should dive with Agua Clara: you do your first dive in one of Tulum's beautiful cenotes (naturally formed sinkhole) as opposed to wasting it in a pool. It goes without saying that I enjoyed my experience with Agua Clara and odds are that you will too. Happy diving! read more

Agua Clara Diving - Casa Cenote (where you do your first dive) - Tours Near Me - Tulum, ROO

Awesome place - no need to search further! I just completed my PADI open water certification through this company. They were responsive, organized and thorough. (3 days of instruction; 2 days in the cenotes and one day in the ocean-reef.) Amazing experience. Both instructors, Hiero, and Marcello, were great and made the whole experience nerveless and I felt comfortable the whole time. They made the experience very fun and they obviously enjoy their jobs and are passionate about their work. I highly recommend you use this company for any related training/excursions!! read more

We had an amazing time diving at Dos Ojos and Naval. I've been diving for 10 years and my buddy for about 2, and we both found the experience super unique! Adiel was very nice and made sure we had a great time :) Also, shout out to Gelly for the amazing sandwiches and snacks during our trip. read more

Agua Clara Diving - Tours Near Me - Tulum, ROO

We had an amazing experience diving with Agua Clara Diving for two days while in Tulum and Cozumel. I was doing a referral to get my open water certification, while my girlfriend already had her certification. For our first day out in Tulum, she did one of her favorite dive days at Dos Ojos and El Pit, while I did my first two open water dives at two other Cenotes. Both Alan Chu and Alberto were very knowledgeable and easy going dive instructors! In Cozumel, we were able to dive together at some amazing reefs with awesome clarity. Eyal was alot of fun to dive with and he did a great job of making sure we were all comfortable and having fun. Highly recommend Agua Clara in both Tulum and Cozumel! The excellent coffee at the Cozumel shop was an added bonus! read more

I didn't know anything about any of the diving companies, and Tulum has too many to count. But Agua Clara is effective and efficient, and the hubby thoroughly enjoyed his discover dive. Niko is one of the best dive masters we've had. He's an excellent teacher, and he gives just right combination of instruction and room to (literally) breathe. We loved the combo pack of dives; one cenote and one reef. The cenote is a bucket-list item, and although the water is cold, it's beautifully clear, and we love the mysterious mangrove roots along the side. Glad to cross cenote off my list, but there is nothing more beautiful than a vibrant reef. We went to a spot where the rock and coral converge into mini caves, full of arches and narrower passages to swim under and through. I only get to dive once a year, and this one was a real treat. Agua Clara is a great company to work with, and if you're trying to dive, Niko is your guy. read more

Probably the best way to experience some of the cenotes is with Agua Clara. Went with Guy, who's prob the best! It's easy to get to the cenotes but not really know where to go and what to look for. Guy was super knowledgeable, knew all the cenotes like the back of his hand. Learned a lot, came up close to alligator, lot of laughs and the best time. Would def use them again, without a doubt. Special thanks to Guy, an awesome Brit livin the Mexican Caribbean life. read more

We had an incredible time. Leo our instructor was not only knowledge but very patient and made our experience so fun. We learned about all the equipment and all the beginner steps to having a great dive. This is an incredible company and would highly recommend!!! read more

Our first time scuba diving was yesterday and it really was special. We ( group of 5 first time divers ) first dove in a cenote which was definitely the highlight of our day - the underwater "landscape" was breathtaking! Our monitors Nikki and Rafa were the best, they managed to make this whole experience seem easy and stress-free - the safety instructions were thorough yet on point. They kept a positive and upbeat attitude from start to finish making our experience even greater. The videos they took underwater turned out amazing ! Thank you again for this great experience. read more

My instructor Nico, cancelled my dives last minute on two different days due to classes he decided to teach. I requested a private tour which he specifically confirmed i can do. Not only was I charged for the private tour, I specifically requested this instructor and the communication was made clear. I planned my trip around these dives. Would not advise this dive center to anyone. I found cheaper and better dive centers following this Experience where my request to PAY for a private instructor was met and satisfied without being lied to. read more

My boyfriend and I did the PADI Open Water Certification with Rafael. He was amazing. He was very patient with me, especially because I freaked out on the 1st day. The 2nd and 3rd day I was able to do all of the exercises without hesitation. We did all of the exercises in the Cenote & in the Ocean! I am excited that i was able to do this opportunity, it is an activity that I will continue to do after Tulum. It is a very relaxing and meditating experience and activity that you can start with Agua Clara. I recommend! read more

Agua Clara Diving - Learning navigation while underwater! - Tours Near Me - Tulum, ROO

While I've been diving for quite some time, I was very much looking forward to my first dive in the Cenotes, and Aqua Clara did not disappoint. I've put on a few pounds since my last five, and the first dive in The Pit was not without its' challenges struggle a little to dial in the right weight - but Julio was awesome and made the necessary adjustments so I could zone in on the dive. And what an experience it was! There's an other-worldly quality to diving in a cenote that I'm so glad to have gotten to experience. Water temp was comfortable and the visibility was close to 100m with the lights we Had. After a short drive and hiatus it was time for our second and third dives in Dos Ochos. What this cenote lacks in depth it makes up for in the sheer number of pristine formations. This trip was everything I had hoped for. I can't say enough about Julio's patient, personable nature. He made the day that much more pleasure. I would definitely recommend Agua Clara to anyone looking for a first class dive experience and I'm already looking forward to my next adventure with them! read more

Really good service, reasonably priced and friendly staff that look after you. Nice thing is they're centrally located in Tulum. We did the snorkeling of the cenotes. They took us to 3 different cenotes (casa, ojos, and the reef). Transportation to/from the cenotes was provided along with snorkel gear and wetsuits. You don't have to lift a finger, they do everything for you! Lunch was at an amazing spot with excellent food!! Not touristy crap at all. We really enjoyed ourselves. Snacks are also provided. Our guide was named Julio and he was so fantastic! He was super calm with all of us. He gave great instructions, had a lot of patience, gave good suggestions on local things to do and was just a very nice genuine person. I highly recommend using this company. read more

My family and I (5 of us) completed the Open Diving Course with Guy and Nico. Both of them are great instructors. They were very helpful and knowledgeable. We liked them so much we did a tour to Cozumel with them after we were certified. They were very detailed and spoiled us. They carried our gear and set it up for us on the boat at Cozumel. Guy even made home made cookies for us every day. We had the best time with them. My family has done other dives and they are by far our favorite instructors and guides. We highly recommend this dive shop and ask for Nico and/or Guy. P.S. They had Julio helping our group also and he was great. He took some pictures for us and he did the refresher course for the other 2 certified divers in our group. He was very helpful and knowledgeable. read more

My boyfriend and I enrolled in the 3-day PADI Open Water course with Agua Clara. I previously had a scaring experience taking a scuba discovery adventure in Hawaii which put me off to the idea of scuba diving for a few years. Agua Clara helped make my experience seamless and comfortable - I felt prepared to use all the equipment and well-equipped to handle emergency situations. It was also unique and authentic to practice in cenotes rather than a hotel pool (which is how it is done in most scuba courses). Above all, we had a fantastic instructor, Rafael, who was incredibly caring, patient and fun! He was an exceptional teacher both didactically and technically. He was truly a pro! Thank you for the experience; we look forward to the adventures ahead! read more

Where do I even begin... When doing our search on local Si'an Ka'an tours in September 2021, I stumbled upon Agua Clara and loved that they are extremely eco friendly and very local to the area we were staying. The front desk lady was really nice, with the man (leading the dive tour maybe?) who was helping check in slightly more abrasive but friendly still. For our eco tour, there was space for at least one more couple to be on the tour with us, but it ended up just being the two of us with Jose, the tour guide. Honestly, Jose made the experience unforgettable: from providing snacks/food, to giving us so much information on local ecology and wildlife, and taking us on a wonderful snorkel tour of the Mayan Canals... We also got to see a local Mayan ruin right next to Si'an Ka'an narrated and introduced by Jose, and visited a local Cenote (Escondido) where we saw him diving! This was a highlight experience for both of us, and in large part due to Jose's friendliness and expertise. Never change, Jose - we loved this tour immensely because of you and your dedication/love for the Tulum ecosystem. We are definitely going to recommend your tour to friends in the future who want to do eco tours in Tulum! read more

AMAZING EXPERIENCE with Rafael! We dove dos ojos Barbie line + bar cave and calavera. Would HIGHLY recommend. All gear is included too! Rafael is extremely experienced and I felt very safe diving with him. Would 100% book again read more

My daughter and I had a great diving experience at Agua Clara Dive shop! Luke was a very patient and thorough instructor with tons of diving experience and reassuring gestures when we got nervous. I felt very safe with Luke who seemed to prioritize our safety as well as our best experience by being attentive to us as well as finding special sightings like turtles and turtle egg shells. I would recommend Luke and Agua Clara to my family and friends! read more

The dive was absolutely spectacular that was guided by a top notch team. Guy and Nico went above and beyond to give us a fantastic tour. A big shout out to Julio for helping us with our PADI refresher course as well. Overall this is a phenomenal dive shop, and I would highly recommend to new and experienced divers. read more

My first time diving experience was AMAZING! I can't thank the instructor, Nico enough. He was non other than spectacular. Nico was extremely professional and answered any and all questions we had. I felt totally safe being this was my first diving experience! You can feel 100% confident with choosing them for dive training and/or excursions! Will definitely be back next trip for more excitement! (((-: read more

Myself and 2 friends did the snorkel and 1 cenote. The tour was great, we highly recommend sac actun cenote. We saw turtles and sting rays during the snorkel. Water and snacks (bananas and cookies) were provided. When you first meet your guide, you drive to a storage area a few blocks from the shop to pick up snorkels, etc. Rafael was very knowledgeable and an amazing guide. The one disappointment is that we haven't received our pictures yet, which we were really looking forward to. read more

Amazing experience today with Luke and Guy from aqua Clara , took my family of 5 diving for the first time today. Both instructors were awesome they were patient and made this a memorable experience. Wen2 dives , start with the Casa cenota and then a dive in the ocean by the coral reefs. Highly recommend these guys for an excellent time and get anyone into diving. What a great experience. Thank you Luke and Guy. read more

I really enjoyed my experience at Agua Clara! I did my final check out dives with Rafael. He prepared me well for my dives and made me feel very safe. After I completed my certification I scheduled another 2 dives with Rafael at Dos Ojos and Calavera, which were both incredible. Highly recommend! read more

Had an amazing time diving with Guy, Nico, and Julio. My family and I did our PADI certification and they were great instructors. I have been diving in many places and these guys are top notch. Professional and friendly, they made our time so memorable. This was the first time diving in Cenotes, and that was an amazing experience. I would recommend this crew any day. They also took us over to Cozumel, which is a must do diving experience. Thanks Guy, Nico, and Julio. read more

Great experience with this company. They helped us to get the time and location of the best dive in Tulum and were extremely professional. Julio, our guide, was amazing and shared great history and knowledge of the cenotes and local wildlife. Our dive in Dos Ojos was out of this world cool. Underwater caves, hauntingly beautiful with crystal clear water are a surreal and potentially scary place but Julio made sure we were prepared for everything and put us completely at ease. Would highly recommend this company for all your diving and snorkeling adventures in Tulum. Thank you! read more

My friends and I took our open water PADI certificate here with Nico as our instructor. It was our very first time diving and we had such a great experience! We were a group of five people including Nico and we had so much fun. He was so helpful, made us all feel confident along the way and we taught us so much! Definitely do recommend this place to the fullest! read more

I completed the Open Water Diver course with Agua Clara and had an amazing experience! Everyone at Agua Clara were welcoming and Guy was extremely knowledgable and patient with me. He really helped me relax and get the most out of my dives. Overall it was a great experience. We started the confined water dives in the cenotes and I have to say, it was much better than diving in a pool. The open water dives were done on the reef overlooking the Tulum ruins. It was beautiful and an experience I will never forget! I also had the opportunity to do the 3 eco-system snorkel tour with my mom. Julio was great! He shared all kinds of knowledge and stories about the Mayans and the history of the area. He checked in us with frequently and even gave his snorkel and mask to my mom after her's started leaking. Thanks for an amazing experience! read more

First time cenote diving, we were incredibly happy with our decision to dive with Agua Clara. From the start everyone was so friendly and Noe was the best dive instructor!! Whether it's your first time like us or cave certified, Noe is your guy as not only was he very informative about the history and culture of Tulum, but also with each cenote dive site. We couldn't have felt more comfortable and at ease. Can't wait to come back to Tulum and dive more cenotes!! read more

Awesome tour with Julio! We spent the day with him - so easy to be with, fun and knowledgeable. Julio gave us good instructions and set clear expectations of enjoyment, any dangers and risks. We had 3 stops for the day - snorkeled in casa cenote,sac aktun and tulum bay. We saw a small crocodile- wow! Amazing fish - 2 big turtles and 2 baby turtles and several momma and baby sting rays! Very exciting. Julio took photos for us and of us with his underwater camera. Awesome footage and memories for us. We couldn't have had a nicer tour and thrilling (felt very safe) adventure. We are in our mid-50's and this tour would be great for all ages (not young children). The underground cenote is mentally challenging but with Julio's guidance was very intriguing and enjoyable. We had lunch on the Mayan tribal land and they are so lovely and kind. The food and service was outstanding. They provided all the necessary equipment, towels and even cookies! What a great day! read more

Learning to dive with Agua Clara was an amazing experience. Rafa was a fantastic instructor, making sure we learned the Open Water basics well, and taking the time for a "deep dive" into good habits and safety aspects. We had some nerves at first (and seasickness later) and he dealt with it perfectly. Our entire experience, from start to finish, had the utmost professionalism and was very enjoyable! We particularly loved that the initial "pool dive" was in a cenote instead. Transportation and equipment was provided, as well as some tasty snacks. We can't wait to continue our diving, confident in what we learned. Allan and the rest of the staff were also very helpful and very responsive. read more

This is a guaranteed safe, fun time! I am certified and my partner is not. Rafael took amazing care of us, was extremely patient and understood when we were ready for the next level.
