**Guidekin's take:** Dive Playa del Carmen reefs in a small shared group capped at five people. Tanks, weights and drinking water are included; the regulator, buoyancy jacket and wetsuit cost extra to rent, and hotel pickup is excluded. 5 from 50 reviews at €106 per person for 4h 30m.

In our comparison: #5 of 18 in Scuba Diving, by rating weighted by review volume (table below).

## Overview

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.
