My husband and I were in Tulum for our honeymoon, and this company was recommended to me by a…read morefriend of mine who had a good experience with them. I am SCUBA certified, but my husband is not. We chose this tour so we could do a couple of dives together.
Joshua picked us up at our hotel promptly on time, took us to the store to pick up our equipment and get fitted with wet suits, and then took us to a nearby Cenote (Casa Cenote). We arrived around 9:30am. Joshua ran us through our equipment and some safety information, and then we walked into the Cenote and descended. The Cenote is not too deep (our max depth was about 20ft). This dive took 40 minutes, and we saw fish, diving cormorants, and even got a chance to see "Ponchito", the crocodile. It's a 'there and back' route, with some interesting sites and an easy enough first dive.
When that was over, we came back to the surface and after a short walk to the boat, we were taken out to a nearby reef (maybe 10 minutes travel time total).
The reef dive was max depth 33ft, and 45 minutes long. It was beautiful, lots of corals and plant life, and a lot of fish activity. The water is warm and comfortable. My husband had a great experience with his first dives, and I didn't feel like I was missing out on anything by not going any deeper than we did.
Joshua kept a close eye on us at all times, and checked in regularly to make sure we were both OK.
The whole trip took about 6 hours, maybe a little less. It was so convenient to get picked up and dropped off right at our hotel, and it was just the three of us the whole time. It's a personalized, private tour, and well worth the experience!
