If youre diving in Q.Roo, there is no better shop than Pluto. Alberto and Barbara are wonderful, the shop cat, Jaguar, is appropriately aloof, and the diving is spectacular.
I'm cave certified, but we had a friend who had never been diving. Barbara suggested a Discover Scuba dive, which we happily did. Barbara took the time to make sure our friend knew the basics, and was incredibly generous with her time and patience as she guided our friend by hand for the entire dive. If you're thinking of trying it out, a Discover Dive with Barbara is 100% where I would start.
Alberto and I did two days of caves, one in Nohooch and one in Minotauro. Both days were fantastic, but for people who arent Cavee Cert'd, the centoes are amazing, and Alberto will make sure you see some cool stuff.
This was not my first trip to Playa to dive, nor was it my first time with Pluto, but I really won't dive with anyone else, and I strongly suggest you don't either. read more
