Boris was incredibly fun to dive with
This excursion was so beautiful. We saw lots of marine life. Boris, our instructor, was informative and very safe.

Description
Playa del Carmen is an excellent place to scuba dive. Our reefs are heathy and we have many fish - particularly compared to the numbers of fish you are likely to see in Cozumel. However, the quality of the corals is probably better over in Cozumel, so if you are particularly interested in Coral, then check out out Direct-to-Cozumel dive which you might prefer. Our instructors will take excelent care you you and we dive in small groups (maximum 5 people) to ensure that can get the maximum enjoyment from the dive. Where possible we also work hard to match experience levels within each dive group. Out instructors as passionate about the ocean, therefore during your experience you can expect to learn about the ocean and the wildlife you will discover.

Fantastic dive shop - very helpful
We had a fantastic time on this dive. Our dive master was patient with us. It’s had been a few years since our last dive. We got to see an octopus!

Diving in Playa del Carmen.
I want to thank Ivan Muñoz for his patience, understanding and expertise. He made me feel comfortable and built my confidence particularly with my buoyancy. His individual attention to my needs allowed me to enjoy my dives. Thanks to him I have gained the confidence to continue diving. Gracias Ivan!

Highly recommended for communication and service
Exceptional and excellent communication, service and refund on missed dives made me want to leave a good review and high recommendation. I was very much looking forward to their Cozumel trip from Playa Del Carmen but unexpected personal problems and also windy weather cloaked the port for the 2 days I had available. They were very easy to work with to get a full refund and if I am in the area again I will choose this dive shop and hopefully get the Cozumle dives.

Amazing experiences around playa
I did 5 dives with tank ha. Amazing company with a very professional office team and a clean and super organised dive shop. The guides were also nice. Especially the 1on1 diving in the cenotes with Pablo was enjoyable. Lots of laughs and a lot of information being shared

Tank-Ha Dive Center - Playa
I dived 2 consecutive days/4 dives and would consider Tank-Ha Dive Center to be one of the best I have used. Their equipment is very good, their divemasters were very personable (Joaquin), safety conscious and all had great personalities. I would recommend Tank-Ha if you are considering diving in either Playa del Carmen or Cozumel. I would use them again on my next trip to Playa.

AMAZING Dive shop and guide Andrea.
Andrea was super friendly and knowledgeable. First time we have had a guide teach about fish and the different rays. Beautiful water with educational appreciation for the sea…doesn’t get much better!

Bull shark heaven.
Did four dives with Tank Ha. Their web site looked very professional and this was backed up by the excellent communication once the initial contact was made. I did four dives with them, including the bull shark observation which was incredible. Their kit is top notch, dive masters are excellent, and overall it was a really enjoyable experience. I'd have no hesitation recommending them or diving with them again.

For beginners and dive refreshers to relax
The instructors are friendly and professional. Very safe dive. The reef is nice enough for the advanced divers and beginners will be stunned and want to dive more. This is a great way to open up the down under.
