Exceptional

For many, a diving experience can be stressful. For us that was not the case and I believe it is due to the excellent treatment, patience, and temperament of Carlos, our instructor. We had a great time and everything we saw was beautiful. Super grateful and happy to have done this activity.

I loved it; it is a great experience and a wonderful memory. It was my first time doing this activity, but despite not knowing how, the instructor Carlos is very kind, patient, and very clear when explaining everything to make the experience enjoyable. Excellent service.

AMAZING

Paulina was fantastic. Picked us up at Xcaret promptly, was super friendly and patient with us. We dove twice at Chac Mool, once at Kukulcan and once at Little Brother. Both were absolutely gorgeous. I would highly recommend this (and Paulina!) to anybody interested in diving!

Operator response

Thank you so much for taking a few minutes to share your experience with us and for your kind words about the wonderful Paulina. We’re so glad you had such a pleasant experience.

Just great

I went diving for the first time yesterday with Paulina from The Dive Machine 😍 Paulina explained everything necessary great, was very thorough during the exercises and always patient and relaxed. During the two dives in the sea I always felt safe thanks to her! It was a great day! Clear recommendation for anyone who has never dived before.

Operator response

Excellent dive at cenote and ocean with Ezequiel.

Ezequiel was wonderful. We did an initial refresher at the Cenote and explored the cenote and met the local alligator. Then we got on the boat and went to the reef and that was even better. Saw a couple of Rays. Lobsters. Ezequiel was patient and informative. Excellent morning.
