Outstanding and full service treatment

Wow.. what can we say..Carlos (Charlie) and Lucas were brilliant.. from the moment we got there, they couldn't do enough to ensure our dive was as best as it could be. We were required to borrow BCDs, and Carlos took the time to go through the characteristics of the BCD so we knew where things were. The BCD was excellent quality and very modern. All our equipment was taken to the boat for us.. we just needed to walk there and enjoy the dive. They don't offer pickup / drop-off service at this dive centre, but we arrived via MSC Liner, so getting a taxi was easy and cost only $5 per person each way. When we finished our dive, we were welcomed back at the dive centre with cold towels to wipe out faces and some cold water, small cakes, and pineapple while we cleaned our own equipment.. all in all this is an excellent dive centre and we will return again. Thank you team.

Another great dive w Dr Dive

Perfect one or 2 tank dive. The reef quality and visibility excellent. Service is good and there is always a guide showing you good stuff. Panga boats leave from the beach in front of Ya Ya Beach club also a fun spot. They will work with your schedule for cruise ship people and they answer Whatsapp inquiries Would recommend, second time we used them in 6 months. You will not be disappointed if your scuba diving

Best operation in Costa Maya

Had an absolutely incredible scuba diving experience with private guide Cesar and Captain Nin̈o! From start to finish, everything felt relaxed, safe, and perfectly tailored to what I love most about diving—underwater photography. He went above and beyond to point out amazing subjects I would have otherwise missed, from well-camouflaged marine life to stunning reef scenes. Their knowledge of the dive sites and sharp eyes made all the difference, and I came away with some of my favorite photos Can’t wait to dive with them again!

Great dive!

The dive masters were great and very friendly. We decided to rent instead of bringing our own equipment, which was in very good condition. Overall I enjoyed the dive and we were lucky enough to see garden eels.

Outstanding dive

Amazing dive, saw so many different fish and coral. Outstanding and attentive PADI outfit- paid close and personal attention to my daughter who was a newly certified diver. Never dove Costa Maya/Mahahual before but adding this to must dive every time. Charlie was amazing.

Great dives and customer service!

Absolutely awesome dive for my husband and son. They saw two eels mating, which was amazing. I couldn't dive (though I initially tried) due to sinus issues, and they gave me a refund for mine without me even asking! Very professional and awesome service!!

Scuba Diving in an Aquarium!

My wife and I took a short taxi ride from the cruise ship to Mahahual to Doctor Dive Shop next door to Yaya Beach. The area is very chill, low key beach scene where flip flops are considered formal attire. Our Dive Master Anthony took great care in setting up our gear on the dive boat. The boat ride to the reef was very short. We dove the Escaleros reef. The water was absolutely crystal clear, the sea state was calm and virtually no current. We saw spotted eagle ray, lobsters, lionfish, Sargent majors, black durgeon, and many more species of fish, inluding the elusive bat fish. We can’t wait to return to Mahahual to dive more of the reef as in this area.

Old, faulty equipment.

The dive master was very attentive and staff was very nice. However, the equipment was falling apart. The cord to deflate my bcd broke off. And my regulator made noises and water misted into ny mouth with every breath. It really ruined my dive. And also, while on the dive, my husband noticed that one of the hands on his depth gauge had fallen off mid dive. I would not feel safe diving again with this dive shop.
