On cenote days we pick you up in Playacar and downtown Playa del Carmen, our only pickup area, so guests staying in Tulum, Puerto Aventuras or Canc\u00fan start the day in Playa.<\/p><\/li><li class=\"xd-qa__item\"><h3>Do I need to be certified to dive with you?<\/h3><p>For cenotes, reef dives and shark dives, yes: Open Water or equivalent from any recognised agency (PADI, SSI, NAUI, SDI and the others). El Pit, Angelita and Zapote need Advanced Open Water. Not certified yet? The <a href=\"\/open-water\/\">Open Water course<\/a> takes you from your first breath underwater to certified.<\/p><\/li><li class=\"xd-qa__item\"><h3>Is equipment included?<\/h3><p>On cenote days, tanks, weights and full equipment are included. On reef mornings and Cozumel trips, tanks and weights are included and rental equipment can be added to your booking. Your own gear is always welcome.<\/p><\/li><li class=\"xd-qa__item\"><h3>How much does diving cost with Xibalba Divers MX?<\/h3><p>Per diver, for two dives: reef fun dives 2,200 MXN, cenote days 3,000 to 3,800 MXN depending on the route (transport and equipment included), bull shark observation 2,800 MXN, Cozumel by speedboat 3,400 MXN. The shark feeding dive is 4,200 MXN for one dive, and both shark dives carry a marine park fee of about 100 MXN. Courses: Open Water, Advanced and Rescue 9,000 MXN each, Divemaster 25,750 MXN. Tanks and weights are always included and every page lists what is not.<\/p><\/li><li class=\"xd-qa__item\"><h3>When is the best time to dive, and how cold is the water?<\/h3><p>All year. Bull sharks are here from November to February, whale shark snorkelling runs from June to September, and reef visibility is best in the dry season, November to April. The ocean sits at 26 to 29\u00b0C, so a 3 mm wetsuit is usually right; the cenotes stay at 24 to 26\u00b0C with no sun to warm you up, so we bring 5 mm suits for cenote days. The cenotes do not depend on the sea, so they are the answer on a windy day.<\/p><\/li><li class=\"xd-qa__item\"><h3>Is cenote diving safe, and how big are the groups?<\/h3><p>Cavern diving is recreational diving done properly: a fixed guideline, daylight always in sight, no more than four divers per certified cenote guide, and sites matched to your certification and how recently you dived. On the boat the groups stay small too. You dive with Humann or a guide who knows the site, and the briefing is honest about what each site asks of you.<\/p><\/li><li class=\"xd-qa__item\"><h3>What is your cancellation policy?<\/h3><p>Full refund for cancellations made at least 48 hours in advance; a no show loses the deposit. If the weather cancels a dive, the port closes or a cenote is not diveable on the day, you choose another day or a refund.<\/p><\/li><li class=\"xd-qa__item\"><h3>How do I book?<\/h3><p>Send your dates, your certification level and what you would like to dive through the <a href=\"\/quick-booking\/\">quick booking form<\/a> or on <a href=\"https:\/\/wa.me\/529841779735\" rel=\"noopener\">WhatsApp<\/a>.

\"In Playacar, Playa del Carmen, in the middle of the Riviera Maya: ten minutes by boat to the reefs, 20 to 60 minutes by road to the cenotes, and the Cozumel speedboat leaves from the beach in Playa. On cenote days we pick you up in Playacar and downtown Playa del Carmen, our only pickup area, so guests staying in Tulum, Puerto Aventuras or Canc\u00fan start the day in Playa.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"Do I need to be certified to dive with you?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"For cenotes, reef dives and shark dives, yes: Open Water or equivalent from any recognised agency (PADI, SSI, NAUI, SDI and the others). El Pit, Angelita and Zapote need Advanced Open Water. Not certified yet? The Open Water course takes you from your first breath underwater to certified.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"Is equipment included?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"On cenote days, tanks, weights and full equipment are included. On reef mornings and Cozumel trips, tanks and weights are included and rental equipment can be added to your booking. Your own gear is always welcome.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"How much does diving cost with Xibalba Divers MX?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Per diver, for two dives: reef fun dives 2,200 MXN, cenote days 3,000 to 3,800 MXN depending on the route (transport and equipment included), bull shark observation 2,800 MXN, Cozumel by speedboat 3,400 MXN. The shark feeding dive is 4,200 MXN for one dive, and both shark dives carry a marine park fee of about 100 MXN. Courses: Open Water, Advanced and Rescue 9,000 MXN each, Divemaster 25,750 MXN. Tanks and weights are always included and every page lists what is not.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"When is the best time to dive, and how cold is the water?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"All year. Bull sharks are here from November to February, whale shark snorkelling runs from June to September, and reef visibility is best in the dry season, November to April. The ocean sits at 26 to 29\u00b0C, so a 3 mm wetsuit is usually right; the cenotes stay at 24 to 26\u00b0C with no sun to warm you up, so we bring 5 mm suits for cenote days. The cenotes do not depend on the sea, so they are the answer on a windy day.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"Is cenote diving safe, and how big are the groups?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Cavern diving is recreational diving done properly: a fixed guideline, daylight always in sight, no more than four divers per certified cenote guide, and sites matched to your certification and how recently you dived. On the boat the groups stay small too. You dive with Humann or a guide who knows the site, and the briefing is honest about what each site asks of you.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"What is your cancellation policy?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Full refund for cancellations made at least 48 hours in advance; a no show loses the deposit. If the weather cancels a dive, the port closes or a cenote is not diveable on the day, you choose another day or a refund.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"How do I book?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Send your dates, your certification level and what you would like to dive through the quick booking form or on WhatsApp. Humann replies the same day with the plan, the site and the price; nothing is booked until you agree.\"}}]}]}<\/script>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scuba diving in Playa del Carmen Cenote diving, cave diving, fun ocean dives, PADI and SDI courses with Xibalba Divers MX.
