For guests staying in Puerto Aventuras
Puerto Aventuras sits in the middle of the best cenote diving on the coast, and our base is twenty minutes up the road in Playacar. Chac Mool, Chikin Ha, Ponderosa and Tajma Ha are minutes from your hotel, Dos Ojos and El Pit are half an hour south, and every dive day, cenotes included, starts in Playa del Carmen, a short taxi or colectivo ride up the highway. Tell us your dates and we plan the days with you.

The cenotes
The stretch of highway between Playa del Carmen and Puerto Aventuras holds more cavern diving than anywhere else on the coast. On a cenote day we pick you up in Playa del Carmen, dive two caverns with a maximum of four divers per guide, and are back in Playa after lunch; tanks, weights, full equipment and the park fees are included in the route price.
All nine routes, with prices and the level each one asks for, are on the cenote diving in Playa del Carmen page.
The sea
Our boat days start in Playa del Carmen, twenty to twenty five minutes up the highway by taxi or rental car. The two tank reef morning is 2,200 MXN for two dives on the home reefs, ten minutes by boat from the beach, back before lunch. The Cozumel speedboat meets at Coco Beach in Playa at 08:00, two drift dives in the marine park with brunch on the boat, back by about 12:30, 3,400 MXN. From November to February the bull shark dives at Shark Point run from Playa as well.
Puerto Aventuras has its own marina and reefs, but we do not operate boats from there; reef mornings meet at our base in Playacar at 08:00, and a taxi from Puerto Aventuras is a short, easy ride.
Courses
Learning to dive means three consecutive mornings in Playa del Carmen: the pool sessions and the four ocean dives of the Open Water course are at our base and on the reefs in front of it. If you are already certified, the Advanced course can include a cenote day as one of its adventure dives. All four courses are on the diving courses page.
Pickups run in Playacar and downtown Playa del Carmen only, so every dive day starts in Playa: cenote days with our pickup, reef mornings at our base at 08:00 and the Cozumel trip at Coco Beach at 08:00. From Puerto Aventuras that is twenty to twenty five minutes up the highway by taxi, rental car or colectivo, and we confirm the pickup point and time when you book.

No. Xibalba Divers MX is based in Playacar, Playa del Carmen, about twenty minutes north, and every dive day starts there. Several of the best caverns are between Playa and Puerto Aventuras, so the drive to them is short.
