Had time of my life diving with Dive Paradise. Boat crew always helpful and friendly. Dive Master's amazing. Knew the waters, which doubled my enjoyment and security. Administration staff very accommodating and approachable when I had enquiries. Will never forget the amazing time I had through Dive Paradise.

Just back, yesterday. I was out of the water, due to an injury, for 2 1/2 years and nervous about getting back into it. Your divemasters and boat captains took excellent care of me, and by the end of the first dive it was like I never stopped diving. Lot's of critters to see, safe diving and the boat picked us up quickly after ascent. Once again, you guys ROCKED! Going back, yet again, next year!

I was there in May with my wife and another couple I dove with. Our flight arrived 6 hours later than it was suppose to which put us in a mad rush to get from the airport to the hotel Cozumel to get checked in for our boats for the next day. We got to the hotel and the staff was great. They took our mad rush and brought it to a halt. We were given an drink and told to relax. We checked in to the hotel, our boats and a bite to eat and everyone waited for us to take our time to do so. The service was very much appreciated. The diving was out of this world. It was a very much needed vacation. Thank You to all. Now there is two things that I was disappointed with. The first three days of diving was repetitive. Our morning dives were all the same. I feel that this is from having a different boat crew each day. My biggest disappointment was that someone from the hotel used my bankcard information that I used at check in and helped themselves to about $250 worth of phone cards. Needless to say the hassle of canceling the card and getting a new one. So make sure you check your bank account if you use this method of payment. The staff was great but there is one that cant be trusted apparently. But over all it was a great trip.

Once again, you guys did an awesome job. Emilio and Santos were great. Everyone in our group loved everything about the trip, half were first time visitors. looking forward to the next trip. thanks Apple

Another great experience with Dive Paradise! Israel Rivera did a fantastic job on a refresher with a friend - she hadn't been in the water in years and he made her feel right at home again. Sergio took us to Paradise Reef on the last dive and we saw a pod of 8 dolphins! Thank you for the consistently fabulous experiences - great job from the ladies in the office to the DMs and captains!

03/30/2013 | Michelle Muschamp |
As a rookie diver from Maine, I cannot say enough kind words about my dive experience aboard the Tango. Dive Masters, Gato, Emilio and Marcus were very patient with me on my first dive. The Panacar reef, Panacar Gardens and ship wreck were absolutely breath taking. Emilio was so respectful of the reef and plant life by pointing out safe sandy bottom for our group to stop and admire a turtle, lobster or crab. He found an octopus, shark, a gang of 7 baracuda passes beside us, an enormous moray eel... the list continues as well as the incredible memories. Looking forward to returning, thank you for your hospitality.

Contacted Apple well in advance of my trip to Cozumel with the intent of becoming open water certified. Followed Apple's advice and when I arrived Jose, my instructor was ready but the weather was not. First three days the harbor was closed due to rough seas but Jose and I completed all the confined water requirements in the pool at Hotel Cozumel. The weather cleared and we made four open water dives completing my requirements for certification. Although the three course took five days I was not charged one extra dime for the course. The equipment was super, the instructor was the best. Jose took the time needed with me. My comfort level soared because of him. Thanks to Apple, Jose and the gang at Dive Paradise. They are the best!

Thanks Dive Paradise for a great week of diving. Had not been wet for a while and had a fantastic check-out dive with Ismail-he got my weight perfect and my buoyancy was spot on every dive. My B.C.was old and worn out. Rented all my equipment from Dive Paradise and everything was set up for me on the boat every day. Fourth trip to Cozumel but haven't been back for a few years-I was afraid the reefs might have deteriorated -but everything is just as magnificent as it was twenty years ago-I won't stay away long now. By the way the food is great at Hotel Cozumel. See you soon!

Apple I would again like to Thank you for getting everything setup for our dives last week and a special thanks to Katie at A1 Scuba for all of her help. I would also like to say as a business owner I look close at customer service. We have been diving with Dive Paradise for many years and I noticed that the service your people gave us and everyone around us last week was exceptional! We had my niece Molly with us that was finishing her last two open water dives; we also had my parents and AnnaMaria’s parents (who are non-divers)and the entire family made comments on how friendly everyone on your staff was and how welcome they made us feel. We are always more than happy diving with Jose’ and Victor but it seems like the entire crew has stepped up to a quality level that you do not see in other areas…! From AnnaMaria, myself and our family’s we would all like to tell you GOOD WORK and make sure everyone gets pat on the back for a job well done. Thank you again…! Butch Gast

Just got back from another great trip. As alwaya the DM at DP are great. Did a night dive with Gollo and dove with all my favorites- Gato, Victor and memo. Will be back in june hopefully. I am also finally going to take Imsael's advice and do my nitrox cert. See you in june.
02/19/2013 | Grant | Long Lake, MN USA
I go to Cozumel for the diving. I dive with Dive Paradise because of Victor. He explains every dive, makes the surface intervals fun and always finds the coolest stuff to see. He is the best divemaster EVER.
02/9/2013 | Ian W. Bargman | Nashville, TN, USA
No bad day's in cozumel! when your diving with Dive Paradise, so thanks to all for yet another great trip wiht DP and I look forward to more to come !

Another great diving experience with Dive Paradise. Thank you to all the dive masters, captains and office personel. They are all great!!!!!! See you next year!!!!!!
01/21/2013 | Tam & Bernard Montoya | Aurora CO, USA
Dive Paradise divemasters were professional, safe and extremely helpful. They took their jobs seriously and kept us safe and comfortable. As a newbie I was assigned a personal divemaster, Julio, who took me under his wing and made sure I got a glimpse of the undersea life - seahorse, crabs, lobsters, barracuda, skates, colorful fish of all sorts. Thank you Dive Paradise for making our trip both safe and fun!

We have been diving with Dive Paradise for many years, Omar has been our divemaster and every dive has been a great experience. The level of service they provide is unmatched here in Cozumel. Our thanks to Apple and all of the divemasters for making our trips special. Its one of the reasons we keep coming back to this beautiful island. The trips keep getting longer (this one was about two months) We would never consider diving with anyone else.
11/20/2012 | Kevin Bahjat | oklahoma City
Another great week with my family at DP. Got the extreme pleasure of meeting Apple for the first time. See you soon. keep it in the green.

We spent another great week with Dive Paradise the first week of October. Can't say enough good things about the whole operation. Great people, boats, and anything else you would want or need when diving. Keep up the good work and see you in 2013.
10/14/2012 | NEEL JOSHI | Palm Desert , Ca
Just got back from Cozumel and as mentioned before " Dive Paradise " is Cozumel. Apple runs a fantastic operation, dive with them once and you are family. Thanks Apple, Marcos , Julian and the rest of the gang.

Just returned from Cozumel and 5 days of the best dive masters I have ever dove with. All boats are operated in a very professional manor. Just a great company!!! Stayed at the Barracuda,boat picked us up on the dock every morning on time with a smile. Lucie was great. I was with Tom's group and apperently they all know him. We just had a blast. Thank you Dive Paradise! I'll be back
10/10/2012 | Jeff Erhard | McDonald, Tennessee
Dive Paradise was recommended to me more than 12 years ago on my first trip to Cozumel. I have been down to Cozumel 5 times since then (not nearly enough) and have never considered diving with anyone else. We have stayed at several different hotels, houses and cruise ships where others were recommended but I am very happy with the service they have given me, my family and friends over the years. Apple - warm up the boats and I will see you next week. You guys are the BEST !!
09/25/2012 | Maya Fischer | Minneapolis, MN
I have spent the last four years diving with Dive Paradise and I would not dive with anyone else in Cozumel. Their service is outstanding! I recently got back from a dive trip and was fortunate enough to do the Whale Shark excursion. Simply amazing! The DMs are all wonderful and truly care about your diving experience! As long as I keep coming back to Cozumel, Dive Paradise will always get my business!
09/23/2012 | Steve & Rita | Atlanta, GA
We Just got back from our third trip to Cozumel;diving with Dive Paradise. Thank you all so much. You did a stellar job meeting our complex needs. A special thanks to Angel #2 at the Hotel Cozumel Location. You are one of the reasons we keep coming back time and again. Our nephew Martin had a "first dive vacation" experience that simply can't be beaten. Jose (his instructor) was fantastic. Thank you again, Jose Hope to see you all again (very) soon.
09/20/2012 | leslie williams | chapel hill, nc USA
Cozumel was my very first diving trip...HOLY COW!!! I'm ruined for life...I don't know that anything will compare to Cozumel or Dive Paradise. Martin M. was my 'personal' divemaster (I came by myself)--He was the absolute, most wonderful, amazing diver and human!!! There is no doubt I will ask for him to dive with me again on my next trip and probably EVERY trip to Cozumel in the future---I enjoyed him so very much! I am also certain I will ONLY dive with DP when I come to Cozumel--All of the DM's and crews were AWESOME--especially Emilio (and Angel, who took care of me on land!) I am so grateful to have 'lucked in' to you all on my first dive trip--- Dive Paradise, Martin and company: Thank you from the bottom of my heart--you are the absolute BEST!!!!
09/11/2012 | Kevin Bahjat | oklahoma City
Just returned from another great trip to coz. I want to thank all my freinds at DP for all their help. See you soon.
09/2/2012 | Keith Ward | Moreno Valley, CA
My wife and I had an absolutely fantastic experience with Dive Paradise in an "All-Inclusive" package with the Hotel Cozumel and Resort. The dive staff was professional, friendly and fantastic when it came to our diving needs. Of special recognition was Angel from customer service and Martin one of our dive masters. They were exceptional! We also did the Whale Shark tour set up through Dive Paradise and what an experience. Highly recommend Dive Paradise to anyone wanting a great experience at an affordable price.
07/23/2012 | Samantha Doring | Houston, Texas
Thanks for another great vacation! We had an amazing adventure on the Whale Shark excursion and enjoyed our five days of diving. We can't say enough good things about Emilio (who takes care of us in the water) and Angel (who takes care of everything else!) - they are true treasures!
07/8/2012 | Karen Spencer-Cruz | Walnut, CA
Thanks for another two weeks of fantastic diving and an excellent diving crew!

I still remember my first open water dive with Dive Paradise in september of 1993 Apple was the office manager and the diving was great....just wanted to say hello to Apple and hope to see her one of these days again.
06/26/2012 | Debbie Speer |
Just returned from another wonderful week's vacation with Dive Paradise. All the staff and divemasters were fabulous, treating me like much-loved family. And the diving was spectacular as always even on those days when what eventually became TS Debby affected our weather. I don't think I've ever done more dives - 18 in 6 days including 1 day with 4. The final dive was on Chauncanab Balones where I came within 4' of a big eagle ray and then swam with it for what was probably only 15-20 seconds but seemed like forever. At that point, I ended my dive (10 minutes early) because my trip was complete and no way anything was going to top it. Will be back in December.
06/23/2012 | holly tiemann | Denver, CO
Dove with Paradise last week of May into June doing 13 dives. We hired Ramon has our DM and he was awesome! The night dives were amazing, you see different sea life compared to during the day dives. I became addicted to diving while is Coz, plan to make a return trip in August for more diving!
06/21/2012 | Kevin Bahjat | oklahoma City
Just returned from fifth trip to coz. It's like seeing old freinds again. Angel at the dive shop has got to be one of nicest people on island. I got Julian to promise he would go on a dive with us in sept. (gonna try to hold him to it).Got to dive the shipwreck for the first time . Victor was a great DM and Paty came along and made another great video for us. Much love to all my DP freinds. See you in Sept.

I just recently had the priviledge to dive at Cozumel. Dive Paradise staff are simply the best. Everything was taken care of and friendly staff ensured I was feeling at home. I can't wait to go back and have another week of an amazing diving. Thanks!

My son and I just finished our yearly trip to Cozumel. A fantastic trip every time. This was our first experience with Dive Paradise and it will not be our last. The staff was very accommodating, professional and helpful. Looking forward to many more dives with Dive Paradise in the future
06/10/2012 | Bob Sewell | Phoenix, Az.
Just got done booking another trip to Cozumel and of coarse we booked with Dive Paradise. Ithink this will be our 6th trip with them and stay at the Hotel Barracuda. We try to go to Cozumel at least once a year. We always use Dive Paradise because we feel safe and everyone there does thier best to give the best dive experience possible. Last year Emillio found a camera on the reef. He took several pictures of our group and then turned it in to the dive shop. They were able to track down the owner and the camera was mailed to them in the states. A lot of people would have just kept the camera or sold it. Dive Paradise is great and although we dive in other countries we look forward to our trips to Cozumel and diving with Dive Paradise.

Went on the Whale Shark excursion 6/1 and had a FANTASTIC time!!! Whale sharks, dolphins, and Manta Rays, oh my. Could not have planned a more exciting time!! Thanks you Apple and DP!!!
Just back from another week of great diving with Dive Paradise and the best DM I know, Gollo. Can't wait to go back! Sharks, turtles, seahorses, just to name a few of our underwater friends, were well spotted and shared by all. Thanks everyone!

We had the privilege of diving Dive Paradise a couple of weeks ago. We were on the Queen Angle and had an awesome time. Martin is a fantastic Dive Master and host! What a pleasure doing business with people that really give it their all. Palancar Caves and Punta Tunich were both amazing. Thanks again, we can't wait for our next dive with you.
04/30/2012 | Jack Bonnette | Columbia, SC
My girlfriend and I just returned from our first dive trip to Cozumel. We stayed at the Hotel Cozumel and dove with Emilio, Santos, and the crew on the Aries. I can't say enough about how well everyone took care of us and made sure the our group had a great experience. Emilio watched out for us in particular since we were inexperience divers and it was like having our own private DM the whole week. We'll definitely be back!
04/30/2012 | Thom Launders | All Wet Scuba, Tempe Az
Our 10th trip in 10 years was the best. Dive Paradise always exceeds our expectations. Dive with them with complete confidence in anything you want to do. We are already planning next years trip. Thanks to Apple and all of her crews,Gollo, Marcos, Julian and Franklin on this trip.

My wife and I just returned from a great snorkeling day with Dive Paradise. This was our first visit to Cozumel and the staff at Dive Paradise was very helpful and more than accommodating. If you are looking for a great place to snorkel, and I cam only imagine dive, than Cozumel is the place. If you are looking for someone to help you out with equipment and finding the best places to snorkel or dive, than Dive Paradise is hands down the people you want to go to. A special thanks to Jim and staff for making our trip amazing. We can’t wait to return to Cozumel and Dive Paradise to see more!
02/21/2012 | Julie Besneatte | Traverse City, MI USA
Just returned from another great week of diving with Dive Paradise and continue to be amazed and impressed with the entire staff and excellent ervice provided. Safety procedures were followed conscientiously, the scheduling was flexible, the boats were well-maintained, and everyone including the desk personel, the guys at the dock, the boat captains and crew as well as the divemasters were always friendly, helpful and courteous. After talking with many other divers during the week - some returning regulars and other first-time customers, everyone agreed that Dive Paradise really does a terrific job and would always be first choice for diving Cozumel. Thanks for a terrific week of diving - I'll be back again next year if not sooner !
01/29/2012 | Kevin Hallmark | Bentonville Arkansas
I'll keep it short and simple, dive paradise was awesome, the boat crew and divemasters were very professional, I highly reccommend dive paradise to anyone traveling to Cozumel for diving, I will always use them.
01/8/2012 | Crystal Gravitt | Atlanta, GA, USA
We had another great trip with DP over the holidays! We ended 2011 and started 2012 diving with your crew and it was a series of PERFECT dives. Great weather, great conditions, and great divemasters. Emilio, Santos, Gato, Goyo and Omar were spectacular and seemed to find all the "cool" things to see! Can't wait to see you again in April!
12/24/2011 | Brannon & Jana McMahon | DeRidder, LA USA
We were certified by DP earlier in the year and have returned a few times since. We have often thought about trying other charters but the level of service and competence provided by DP keeps bringing us back every time. Everyone from Angel in the shop to the many divemasters have been more helpfull than we could imagine. Great company & great people....we will be back!
12/4/2011 | Joseph Rykowski | Monroe NY USA

AN EXCELLENT OUTCOME After surfacing from the 8th dive of our 15 dive trip my husband complained that his legs were numb, one of the sypmtoms of "the bends." We told our dive master who immediately put Paul on 100% oxygen and radioed for him to be picked up, by ambulance, at the nearest boat dock. We then headed for the dock as quickly as possible. When we arrived at the dock Paul was loaded into the waiting ambulance and we headed for the decompression chamber in town. By this time Paul's numbness had pretty much subsided but, do to our training, we knew that this did not mean that he was safe. He spent 6 hours in the chamber and then we made daily trips to the hospital for rechecks for the next 3 days when Paul was cleared to fly. We are careful experienced divers (200+ dives for each of us). No one can tell us why Paul had a problem (we've talked to several people that have had unexplained DCS). With the excellent and IMMEDIATE care he received from the Dive Paradise staff and the decompression crew in Cozumel he suffered no long-term effects. This experience makes us very leary of ever diving where there is not an accessible chamber. Thank you, Dive Paradise. We'll be back.
08/19/2011 | Eric French | Texas, USA
My first experience with Dive Paradise and all I can say is the captain, crew, staff, everyone were GREAT! The dives were awesome. I highly recommend Dive Paradise to anyone who wants to have fun and enjoy great diving.
08/6/2011 | Crystal Gravitt | Atlanta, GA
I'm very remiss in posting this but we dove with DP for another week in June and had an even better experience than April! Emilio and Santos were just wonderful and every experience with y'all is better than the last. Our sincere appreciation goes out to all those who work so hard to ensure everyone's safety and enjoyment. Looking forward to seeing everyone over Christmas!

Came down with non diving family. Trying to change that with a couple of daughters. Did two days of morning express dives and one night dive. Awesome service!!! Very personal and "diver" oriented. Whatever we wanted we received. However, if we asked for something "not as good as something else," the dive master was not afraid to speak up and they always delivered. The express dives got us to the reefs before everyone else and that meant our second dive was pristine as well. Muy bien Dive Paradise!!!!!

Just got to Dallas after leaving Cozumel and Dive Paradise. The crew of Dive Paradise did a bang up job of handling a large group of divers gathered together through Scubaboard.com. What a great week of diving and these guys and gals went out of there way to accomodate us. Great place to take care of your diving needs.
06/1/2011 | Brian Whitfield | Atlanta, GA

Spent a week with Dive Paradise April 2-9th and loved every minute of our diving experience! Fantastic staff and crew - Angel was very professional and always greeted us with a huge smile, Israel was an amazing DM that made real efforts to help divers fine tune their skills, and Chucho was the hardest working guy I've ever seen! Can't wait to see you in June!

Just returned from my first Cozumel dive trip. It was an awesome trip,the staff and divemasters were great. Every dive was unforgettable. Cannot wait to return.
04/26/2011 | Ray Cheyne | Kirkland WA
What a superb week of diving. As usual the facilities and equipment were great and the personnel very friendly. This time however we paid for our own divemaster, Lois, and had some fantastic dives. In the past we've gone with the group, which was fine, but with Lois we were able to customize the dives a little more a spend more time on the things we wanted to see and there was a lot to see. Looking forward to a repeat performance later this year

Hi, It's DJ's Scuba Locker, getting ready to return to Cozumel and dive with Dive Paradise. We just love this operation. They are very accommodating and are always taking us to the greatest dive spots in Cozumel -- Can't wait to see the staff. Dj's has two trips in the next two months -- One May 4-8 and the other June 11-18. Just can't wait!

Omar...Sergio...Martean...and the rest of the dive crew...YOU ROCK!!!!!! (Sorry if I did not spell the names correctly). My mom, son and I just returned after spending a week with Dive Paradise. We were part of the Twin Dolphins dive crew and it was an amazing way to spend our first open water dive. I cannot say enough about how fun, professional, safe, did I mention fun??? Well, you get the point. The guys are awesome, the boats are well cared for and clean, and the care we received was amazing. Thanks for an amazing time...we will see you in November. Kirsten, Dustin, and Liz

Did 13 dives with Dive Paradise, second trip that we have used them. Everyone is great, my new prescription mask got broken on the first trip out when a tank fell over. The equipment manager was able to fix it at a reasonable charge of only $10. All dive masters and captains were excellent! Had a great time, will be back!
03/16/2011 | Dawn and Vern | Colorado Springs, Colorado USA
Back from our 5th trip to Cozumel and diving with Dive Paradise. Thank you for a fabulous dive trip yet again! We have always been very impressed by your friendly and professional service. Everyone from the office staff who helped set up our trip, guys at the Hotel Cozumel dock, and fabulous DM (Goyo!!!!) and boat staff are consistently excellent and a real joy to work with. We miss you when we are gone and are always happy to see you when we get back! Can't wait to see you all again soon! Dawn and Vern Rubick

I couldn't agree more with the posting on 02/23/2011 by Vincent and Kay. The hotel and dive shop staff were top notch. The little extra's of fruit & water on the boats between dives. Also the dive masters were attentive, funny and TOP NOTCH. I also had Giovani on my first dives...the boat staff were very helpful too. My son took the course while in Cozumel. When he did his first dives we had Isreal(sp) as our dive master. He, also, stayed around my son until he felt comfortable. Isreal would provide advice one on one and praise him for how well he was doing. Both dive masters were very clear on their expectations before, during and after the dive. Basically we were to have fun, dive safely which everyone did. Isreal was awesome but all the Dive masters I encountered were Top Notch. Job well done Dive Paradise. I never heard a negative complaint while staying there from Feb 20-27. I would and will go back. I would recommend this dive shop and cozumel hotel to anyone.!! Keep up the good work
02/23/2011 | Vincent & Kay | Arlington Tx
WE just got back from Cozumel diving. Kay and I were there with our long time buddys Jeff and Carmen. I hope this s wont be long for all the good things I have to say. Our dive Master the first 2 days was Giovani ( hope I spelled his name right). This was our first ocean dive and Kay had some axiety on the first day. Giovani was top notch, Great Dive Master,Great Personality.He took the time on each dive to be near Kay until she was comfortable. He went over pre-dives with us very clearly. We were so much impressed with Dive Paradise and The staff at Hotel Cozumel were top notch. They really made our stay so pleasant,They really know how to make you feel very Welcome. Also Emillio (Dive Master) Top Notch guy. He was our Dive Master the last day without the Ladys.Because of the great experiance that we had on this trip,We have decided to make this an annual trip if not more.To anyone reading this and is uncertain on who to book your dives with, you wont go wrong with Dive Paradise and Hotel Cozumel. They are un beatable!! Keep up the great work. I know now why you guys are the #1 Dive Operation in Cozumel. Because your Dive Masters love their jobs, and it shows!! see Ya At The Bottom !!!and see ya'll soon !! Thanks Jeff And Carmen
02/21/2011 | Tom & Deb | Missoula, Montana USA
Just completed another trip to Cozumel and 16 Dives with Dive Paradise. Once again we dove the majority of our dives with Victor and Omar. Two excellent Divemasters among many that you employ. We really enjoyed the Cock-A-oodle dives, (3 tank early morning) and will be back for sure in the future. Thanks for running a consistantly good operation. None safer and more service oreinted on the Island!!! We were well taken care of!
02/7/2011 | John Voss | Banks, Oregon
All the folks at D.P were great to work with. The DM's Emilio and Miguel really stood out both above and under water. I appreciated Miguels attention to detail with the nitrox analyzer. I will definitely be back.
02/5/2011 | dan murfin | tigard, oregon usa
I used d.p.in Jan 2011 when I ran a group trip of 34 divers from Oregon. Our dm's,Emilio, Miguel and Goyo, were great to work with. The cust. service we got from Angel at the dive shop was excellent, he really made my job easier. The owner, Apple, gave us great rates and worked hard to make sure all went well. I have used d.p. in the past and will continue to use them whether it is for running dive trips from my shop or for my own personal diving. Looking forward to seeing all you guys in March. Thanks, Dan Pacific Watersports.

We went diving over Christmas and had a great time. Fourth time with DP, wouldn't go with anyone else. Emilio,best dive guide ever, found a camera on the reef one day. He took a few pictures with it and turned it in to the DP management They somehow tracked down the owner and were going to mail it to him in the states. He could have kept it for himself or sold it but he didn't. Emilio said he didn't want something that didn't belong to him. I love Cozumel and the peop;e that live there.
12/23/2010 | Rex A Koenig | Sidney Ohio
Sometimes you just can't say enough good things about an experience you have had! This is one of those times. This was my 4th trip with DP and they just keep getting better. I came with a small group of 6 divers and we were treated like royalty. Dove most of the week with Santos and he took extra good care of us. As did Angel at the desk. All the people I came in contact with went out of their way to accommodate us. Apple even went out of her way to shake my hand and thank me for my business.I can't remember all the names but I want to THANK you all for making me feel at home again. Can't wait to come back to see you all again. God bless. Hope to see you very soon.
11/29/2010 | Paige Watson | 6295 Old Canton Road Apt 17 D
Omar and Victor (and the rest of the Dive crews) were AWESOME. I highly recommend them and hope to go back next year. I have never seen such an impressive bunch of dive masters. They take care of everything and made sure we saw some amazing underwater critters. The night dive was great too! 4 star service for sure!
11/6/2010 | Carolyn |
Loved the DM's and crew. They showed us some great creatures! Good safety precautions by the DM's and crew. Got a remarkable DVD from Yibran that will remind us of a great trip! We'll see you next year. :)
10/16/2010 | Cheri | Zephyrhills, FL
Thank you for an awesome two weeks of diving. As always, I am thankful for all the attention I receive from the Dive Paradise staff. The diving speaks for itself - there is not a bad site to dive in Cozumel but what does make the difference is your dive operation.
10/7/2010 | Jacob | Seattle WA USA
Love diving with Dive Paradise! Only great dives and fun times with the divemasters and boat crew. Julio, you are in the Undersea Journal! Saw your picture and made me excited for my next trip with the Dive Paradise crew.
09/27/2010 | Cindy Howard | Lyons, IL USA
Well, in just a few days I will be returning to Cozumel for my 8th time. I always stay at Fiesta Americana and dive with Apple. It's the best experience ever. I just love the crew and I am always given the pleasure to dive with the staff, Emilio, Jose Poule, and Marteen. The staff at Dive Paradise is very accommodating and always treats our group like family. They also take us to the greatest dive sites to see sea horses, eels, spotted stingrays and the famous toad fish. But, there really is never a bad site in Cozumel Dive Paradise is an amazing dive business and Apple is always happy to sit down and visit. You won't be sorry if you sign up and dive with Dive Paradise!!! A highly recommended dive shop on Cozumel!
09/11/2010 | David Sexton | Austin, TX USA
I dove with Dive Paradise for the first time on my recent trip (Aug 28-Sep 4). Most of my dives were with Gato and I wanted to say how much I enjoyed diving with him. All of us were experienced divers and he gave us plenty of freedome to do our own thing while still pointing out lots of interesting creatures and making sure everyone started the dives together and came up in the same spot near the boat! I will look forward to a return trip and more dives with Gato and the other divemasters at Dive Paradise!
08/20/2010 | Emily Wharton | Bowie, MD 20715
In July, I spent a week diving with Victor. It was my first dive trip, and thanks to him, it was spectacular. I can't wait to come back. I've only been home three weeks, but it feels like forever. Spring break can't come soon enough.
07/25/2010 | Mark McMullen | Littleton, Colorado USA
My name is Mark McMullen. My 19-year old daughter Kate and I just took a two tank dive with Victor on July 20th and I wanted to tell you how great a time we had. It was Kates first open water dive after becoming certified through A-1 here in Littleton, and Victor made it a very special first dive. I understand that he is firstly concerned with safety, and paid special attention to Kate to make sure she felt comfortable and enjoyed the experience. He did not make her feel inadequate at all, and as a matter of fact she found him very funny, entertaining, and badly wants to go back with Victor as our dive master again. Our experience with Dive Paradise was great in every way and we will highly recomment you to anyone who asks. Please pass the word to Victor that he was an excellent instructor, tour guide, and entertainer and represents Dive Paradise well. Mark and Kate McMullen
07/16/2010 | Bonnie AndersonEichstedt | Janesville Wisconsin USA
My whole family visited Cozumel MX July 9 through the 14th. We went diving everyday and one night dive. Our dive guide was SERGIO remember that name and always ask for SERGIO.... He was the greatest dive guide we could have asked for..He showed our family so many things..and gave us the option on what we would like to see. We had an awsome wreck dive....the night dive was magicial... and the wonders we saw under the sea were absolutely amazing.....Remember.. ask for....SERGIO.... you will never be dissappointed.......Thanks Again Sergio...Bonnie

06/17/2010 | Thom and Tammy |
Another wonderful week of diving with DP. Gollo guided us all over the reefs. Saw Methuselah the oldest turtle on the island. Met some really nice people too. Unfortunately I can't find the e-mail addresses. How bout it Eric do you still have my card.
06/15/2010 | Samantha | Houston, Texas
Thank you for making our dive trip last week a memorable one. I've dived with DP many times over the years and the DP crew has always been top notch. And thanks Emilio and Jorge for taking care of our group!
06/14/2010 | eric, nicole and jesse | Hartselle AL
Hola Dive Paradise. The diving was muy bien. Everyone was wonderful to us and the DM's and crew were very helpful and friendly. A special thanks to Gollo for leading our night dive. We will be back and diving with Dive Paradise. Muchas Gracias!
06/9/2010 | Cristina Ilinca-Pruzan | Northport, NY
Had the time of my life diving with Paradise. The best diver is by far Giovanni, especially at night.
06/1/2010 | Mike8484848 |
Another great week of diving with DP. The staff was great. Met many great fellow divers. Anyone know who the two women from LA were, one tall with dark air and one with blond hair - good divers.
06/1/2010 | hamilton | TYLER TEXAS
We just got back from our second trip in two months and could not be happier with Dive Paradise and the Dive Masters...VICTOR ROCKS!!! We will continue to use Dive Paradise on all future trips to Cozumel. Next one is planned for August. We are hooked on Cozumel and Dive Paradise. See you soon.
05/31/2010 | Greg & Glenda Watkins | 5304 Fairhill Dr.
Dive Paridise goes beyond and unbove for a Dive Company. They always have the best dive masters. My husband and I have dived with them many times and will only dive with them. Apple and her staff are remarkable. We look forward to diving with them again soon. Glenda and Greg Watkins
05/31/2010 | Gilda Sprung | Houston Texas
We've done 24 trips to Cozumel over the years and it never became the perfect trip for my husband and me until we discovered Dive Paradise about 12 years ago. They are the best of the best! Professional and courteous, the treat us like family. Never any excuses, only results!
05/26/2010 | GREG FORRESTER | FAYETTEVILLE, AR
Thanks for making my first trip to cozumel so enjoyable. I have nothening but great things to say about your business. I definitely plan on diving with you again when i return to cozumel
05/11/2010 | Thom Launders |
We had another wonderful week of diving with DP, the end of April. Met lots of nice people and the weather was great. Diving could never have been better. Thanks DP
04/26/2010 | David King | Kirkland Washington
I just got back from my 10th trip to Cozumel and, as always Cozumel and Dive Paradise did not disappoint. Out of our group of 17, 7 were first timers to Cozumel and are looking forward to a return trip next year. Special thanks to our DMs for the week Luis and Julio, they were great. Apple, you have a great team, please tell them thank you for me. See ya next year. Dave King
04/14/2010 | Chris Carlino | Greenville, NY
Just back from 3 days and my 1st night of amazing diving with DP and DM Jose Chale. Spent the 1st day with another dive operator (Mistake) The DP staff was the best, and made everyone on the Anna Luz feel like old freinds. Howard, Terry, Terry, and Jeff. Hope to see you all again.
04/8/2010 | The Timm Family | Wadena, MN
We had a wonderful experience!! The diving in Cozumel is spectacular. The Dive Paradise Staff was one of the best we have had. The Divemasters are very knowledgeable, safety conscious, and a blast to be around. A special thank you to Victor and Omar.... They made our dive experience an enjoyable one. The entire group from the dive shop retailers to the dive masters, captains, and management are great. We would definately recommend Dive Paradise to all divers heading to Cozumel. Thanks for a wonderful Dive Experience..... Tom, Jana, and Keeley
04/2/2010 | Butch Gast | Littleton, Colorado
Once again we just finished diving with Dive Paridise and have returned home with a perfect dive trip. As DMs we may have higher expectations than most and in our many trips with Dive Paradise we have not been dissapointed and recomend them to everyone and all ability levels. Our DM Victor is a good leader and is very aware of all of his divers at all times. Do not think twice about using Dive Paradise and always remember to tip your Dive Master!!
03/11/2010 | James,Wendy & Nicholas | Surrey BC Canada
Thank you for a great dive holiday. We had the greatest of times. The dives were spectacular and the dive crews were the best. I would like to thank Omar for a great job. It's my second time diving with Omar and I can't wait to come back. I can't say enough about what a good job he does.
02/26/2010 | Tom & Deb | Missoula, Montana USA
Just finished another 2 week stay in Cozumel and would like to compliment you on your fine dive operation. Safety first and always great suggestions for the days diving. We would like to compliment you on two of your employees in particular, Victor and Omar. Two great divemasters and very fun to dive with. All of your staff has been excellent for the last few years we have been diving with you. We will return soon.
02/18/2010 | John Eriksen | Dallas Tx USA
Another great time, just back from CARNIVAL and 4 dives with Jamie. I really think our last 2 dives were the best of my 125 dives, thanks Jamie! Apple, you have the best operation, best boats and the best people running it all. Oh yea, Carnival was great as well, always a great time. Thanks
02/11/2010 | Robert & Brenda Stockmann | Winnipeg,Manitoba, Canada
HOLA, Thank you for a great 13 dives on my first trip to Cozumel, your staff really stepped it up when my wifes BC dumpvale flange packed it in and here first dive was a bust,I assesed the problem and went to the dive master and he called for a technician and he made the repair with in a very short while. My wife was super impressed and so was I, we felt very comfortable with the dive masters and the captains. You are the only operation I will recommend to anyone looking to dive in Cozumel. And we hope to be back next year for some more fun in the sun and great diving.
02/7/2010 | Laurie Durell |
Thanks for a great week of diving ! While all of the Dive Masters and Boat Captains were great, I want to give special thanks to Captain Juan and Dive Master Victor for helping me get over my fear of rolling back into the water from the edge of a small boat. Only fast boats for me from now on !
01/23/2010 | Darwyn Klatt | Enid, Oklahoma, USA
My friends and I finished our 7 day vacation to Cozumel, diving 11 times with Dive Paradise. Additionally, I completed the Advanced Open Water course with Alfonso as my instructor. All 3 of us had an incredible time and enjoyed a varied, colorful week of diving with expert instruction and dive masters. The only down side was that we couldn't stay another week! Thanks for all the hard work and we'll see you again next year.
01/20/2010 | Tim Bass & Janet Cherry |
We just returned from an 8 day trip and dove with Paradise. What an excellent dive operation. I've been diving with Paradise (and staying at the Barracuda) for years but this was Janet's first trip. She was truly impressed with the dive operation and the Barracuda. For me I expected the best and that's just what I got. These people really like people and enjoy what they are doing! What a concept!
01/18/2010 | Michael & Barbara Coleman | Columbus, GA
Thanks Dive paradise for 4 days of great diving. We arrived on Saturday 9 January, and were unable to dive until Tuesday, 12 January due to the weather. We managed to make three dives a day and they were GREAT !! Plenty of room on the dive boats even with 20 divers on board. Knowledgeable staff and crew aboard each boat we dove from. Thanks again for a great diving vacation ! Michael & Barbara Coleman
01/12/2010 | Susan Powers | Sunrise Beach, Missouri
Many thanks to Ramone, Rafael and Raul for such an awesome memorable diving experience at Dive Paradise week of January 4, 2010. Very knowledgeable and fun staff. My friend Debbie and me plan to return soon for some more dives. Be sure to see Rafael and have him draw one his famous Scubatoons of you - he transformed me into a mermaid!
12/17/2009 | Nancy & Kyle | Elk River, Minnesota
Everyone we came in contact with was great. Carlos worked with Kyle to get his certification dives done. The one on one instruction was perfect.Goto was wonderful as our primary divemaster. I will definetely use your organization on my next trip to Cozumel. thanks to all for making it a great dive trip.
12/15/2009 | Mary B. Farrell |
Thank you for a great dive vacation, AGAIN! We love you and miss and very sad to be back in Fl but anxious to be with you again in April 2110. Diane and Mary
12/8/2009 | Rhapsody Wilson | 3210 Sweetwater Ave. #127
Thanks for a great dive experience. We had a newly certified diver and another who had not been in the ocean either and myself, who had not dove in 5 years. We all had a safe, exilerating trip and our DM was so patient and friendly. Will definately recommend DP and will return again. Thank you!
11/25/2009 | Doug Rome | Eagan Mn usa
Apple and Victor, We had a blast this past week diving with your Company and team. A special thank you to Victor for making this dive experience very memorable. I appreciated all he did to get me finally boyant and getting better control of my air supply. Thanks again and we hope to be back soon to see you. Doug
11/25/2009 | Dave and Family | Stillwater, Minnesota
Three cheers for the entire Dive Paradise team! Apple and her inspired team made our first serious dive vacation an incredible experience. My oldest son, my brother and two brother-in-laws joined me on a private boat with Victor as our outstanding dive master. He's part entertainer, an ardent safety chief and, much to our delight, a wonderful teacher! We expected to have fun - we didn't necessarily expect to be taught so much about scuba diving safety, philosophies and techniques. Once we made listening to Victor a priority, our satisfaction grew exponentially....we highly recommend him! Thanks Apple, Victor and everyone at Dive Paradise. You're number one with us!
11/23/2009 | Dean & Sandi Ferguson | Nampa, Idaho
This was our 1st dive trip to Cozumel and will not be our last. You have a class act, and the dive master are fantastic. Goto was the best we had him all week. my wife just certified in August and he took her by the hand the 1st 2 dives, she loved it. we are already planning our next trip back and of course it will be with dive paradise. thanks again for a great time.
11/20/2009 | Ed and Deb Fisher | Atlantic Beach New York
We dove with DP November 1st through Nov 5th. Miguel (our group DM) and all the other DM's and crew on the Atlantis couldnt have been any more helpful or professional. The dives were well led and when the time was right, they joined in on our fun and hijinx. We would definitely dive with DP again.
11/19/2009 | Butch Gast | Littleton, Colorado
Returning divers for third time and pleased as always with Dive Paradise and Victor our dive master. Another diver had a problem and the sititation was addressed and very professionally thaken care of by Victor and everyone on the boat. I highly recommend Dive Paradise and will continue to return for additional dives.
10/6/2009 | Stacey | Spring, TX
Had a wonderful time, the staff helped make my boyfriends 50th b-day one to remember. They went above and beyond to honor all my request. Once again I never reqret going back to Dive Paradise. Thanks guys!
10/5/2009 | Davicito | Houston Texas USA
Had an awesome time and hope to dive with these guys real soon!!!
09/30/2009 | Ginny Savaloja | Crosby, MN , USA
Great diving and dive masters as usual. Giovanni is always fun! It was great for us to have fewer divers out there. We will be back in the spring, and definitely will come back in the fall again as well!
09/28/2009 | Neel Joshi | Redondo Beach, California
3rd time to Cozumel in 2 1/2 yrs and with Dive Paradise. Said it before and say it again, dive with them once and you are family. The DM's go above and beyond to take care of the divers. Marcos by far is one of the best DM'S and Alfonso who now is the GM for the operation is detail oriented. Apple, thank you for maintaining the class and quality at Dive Paradise.
09/13/2009 | Rex Koenig & Nick Overbey | Sidney Ohio
WOW!!!!! Another great week of diving with DP.We saw so many things it would take 3 pages to tell you everything. We had a GREAT night on Tuesday. As always the Dive Masters were GREAT. A special THANK YOU to Dive Master Miguel for the night dive and setting it up. I always feel like family when I dive with you. See you in December. Rex
08/23/2009 | Larry, Crystal and Aric | Florence, Oregon USA
Our first trip to Cozumel and we had a great time with Dive Paradise. We enjoyed many wonderful dives with Omar our dive master. He did great pre-dive briefings, knew how to find the interesting sea animals and had great knowledge of each of the fantastic swimthroughs. You can take a fast boat or a more leisurely boat to many wonderful dive sites. "Apple" is the owner/manager and she is always interested in making sure your dive vacation is perfect. She stepped up and fixed a very minor wrinkle for us and made the week absolutely perfect for us. Dive Paradise is conveniently located all around Cozumel, and particularly so at the Hotel Cozumel where we stayed. Thanks for a great week of vacation and scuba diving! Larry, Crystal and Aric Farnsworth
08/22/2009 | Cheri | Zephyrhills, FL USA
Thank you for another wonderful week of diving. A special thank you to the divemasters and captains who helped me on and off the boat. Apple you are doing a wonderful job with the disabled or just plain older diver. Keep up the good work. We baby boomers are getting up their and need the extra attention.
08/19/2009 | Wheeler's | Dallas, Texas
Another great Scuba vacation thanks to Dive Paradise. We hired Divemaster Migul Yam as a dive buddy for our newly certified 10 year old son. He is great with kids. Told him how the dive would go. He found lots of cool things to look at and for us to photograph. Helped him with his gear after the dive. We will hire him again next year!
08/12/2009 | Courtney Melton | Bentonia, MS
I stayed at Hotel Cozumel and Resort during the last month of July. Everyone I encountered during my stay was helpful and courteous. Go see Jamie at the hotel. He is a great dancing waiter. Julio Kin is without a doubt the best DiveMaster I have ever had the pleasure of diving with. He was personable, kind, reliable, and knowledgeable about the reef. I can't wait to return to Cozumel and dive with Julio again. My trip overall was a great success and a needed rest before the busy school year began.
08/9/2009 | Julie Kugelmann |
We recently returned from a trip to Cozumel. We stayed at Hotel Cozumel July 18 through July 25. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Omar was an excellent Divemaster. He was very patient with the new divers that were in our group. He told us exactly what to expect before each dive. The sailors on our boat were very attentive - from setting up our gear to helping us back in the boat after our beautiful dives. We had Rafael draw his Scubatoons of our family. This will be a treasure for years to come. This is our second trip to Cozumel and I can't wait to return!
08/8/2009 | Rob Shelley | Skookumchuck, B.C. Canada
July 17 to 31st. Stayed at Coral Reef Inn, which was great. Two great weeks diving, Julio, Victor Omar and all the other DMs were great.Will be back, ( This was my 4th trip) The office staff , dive shop and boat crews could not have been more helpful.Recommended to anyone, especially to anyone who has not been to Coz. before.
08/5/2009 | Kaiti Kugelmann | Jacksonville, Florida
Diving in Cozumel was AMAZING! My family dove with you guys for 5 days and Omar was our divemaster for most of the dives and he is such a great divemaster(he's very good at finding turtles by the way)! I absoluetly cannot wait to come back for more!!
08/4/2009 | Thomas Seitz | Palestine, TX
From March 13-19th, 2009, Corri, Mark, their 2 children, Greta and I made a trip to Cozumel and stayed at Hotel Cozumel Resort. It was Mark and Corri's first time to Cozumel. The kids had a great time and Corri and I had some fantastic dives. Eventhough the current was ripping and made it hard to photograph, Corri and I were able to see alot of sea life. I have always used Dive Paradise and would recommend them to anyone. We are hoping to get back to Cozumel in March 2010 and plan to do 5 days of diving with Dive Paradise. Thanks so much to Jaime and PePe for a great time, a watchful eye, and very safe dive trips.
08/3/2009 | Howard & Ginger | Toronto, Canada
Another fantastic trip to Coz, Apple you and your crew are the best. Jose Chale was our DM, he is one of the best out there. 7 years now with DP and counting. Whom ever is thinking of going to Coz and has not gone with DP. What are you waiting for. We go at least 3 times per year. The visibility and drift diving is hard to beat. There are now Lion fish in Coz. Until next time.
07/31/2009 | Sanders Family | Houston, Texas
We had a blast. Dove the Devil's Throat with Nacho (Divemaster). He was very good at finding things to look at. He was very personable. We would dive again with Dive Paradise any day.
07/30/2009 | Chanda & Patrick Herter | Frisco, Texas
Yet another wonderful seven days diving with Dive Paradise. A BIG thank you to our DM, Jaime. Jaime was a safe and efficient DM, who still was able to show us marine life. Dive Paradise's staff is very helpful and assisted us in determining our dive trips. Thanks, Apple, Dive Paradise is first class all the way.
07/3/2009 | Anna Little | Lakewood, Colorado
Antoher wonderful week in Cozumel and diving wtih DP. I missed diving with Santos, but did get a chance to dive with Gato. Thanks to all of Apple's staff for making this another great time in Paradise!
07/1/2009 | Conrad & Cecilia Rucker | Conyers, Georgia
Thanks Apple and everyone at DiveParadise. Another awesome trip....It was the first time for some of our group, and because of the work of Santos and Emilio, they loved it. See you again in September for a long weekend.
06/26/2009 | Robert & Brian A. | Boring, Oregon
Our first trip to Cozumel. Had a wonderful time diving with Dive Paradise and staying at Hotel Barracuda. Instead of staying at resort with all inclusive meals, saved money and had more fun eating around town. We did not go on the "fast boats". They don't have a roof or restroom. We also enjoyed meeting other people on the larger boats.

We had a great time and were very pleased with Dive Paradise's operation. Our only comment was there needs to be a better selection on the soft drinks. We asked for Diet. However, we were not there to drink sodas. The driving was great and Miguel is a very good dive master. Looking forward to our next trip. We stayed in the Coral Reef Inn which was a great place (you have to walk about 10 minutes to get to the Hotel Barracuda to get the boat.) We really saw a lot of sea life!

Just wanted to let you know what a great experience we had. All the staff was wonderful, from the dive shop to the boat captains. Special thanks to Gato, Julio, Omar, Shaggy, and Abraham. You all went out of your way to be fun and to make our trip enjoyable. Gato, Julio and Omar were excellent at finding marine creatures and pointing them out. Thanks for making Chelsea and Emily's first dives in the ocean so memorable. We will definitely be back. The Hales Family

My first trip to Cozumel is one I'll never forget. Six straight days of GREAT diving with Dive Paradise are the best this "cold" water diver has ever had. The boat...Tango...and divemasters, Emilio and Gato were all first rate. Sharks, turtles, octos, toadfish, rays, seahorses...the list just goes on and on. Thanks for the great diving. I'll be back to dive with Dive Paradise again...and soon.

Leaving tomorrow after a wonderful week in Cozumel. Many thanks to Lucy for her help with everything from chosing my dives to learning about the island. I had a refresher course with Carlos (The best Instructor anywhere!) and then had him accompany me on two more dives. With his help and patience, I brushed off the cobbwebs and renewed my love for diving. Dive Paradise is tops!

As always, Dive Paradise made our vacation unforgetable. We just returned from our 3rd great Cozumel dive trip in the last year and have already purchased Airfare to return Nov 9th. The staff was great but special thanks for Angel for helping work around Karla's headcold to accommdate her diving. All our divemasters were outstanding in their experience and safety mindedness. We also appreciated Giovanny's lesson of "How a Marriage is like a Hurricane". We love Cozumel and we miss all our Dive Paradise amigos. Nos vemos todos en Noviembre

We are home from a fabulous trip of diving in Cozumel! The Dive Paradis staff went out of their way to ensure our safety and fun! Thanks Rafael for the awesome "scubatoons". We love it! Hello to all of our new friends!

A Big Thanks once again for the great service. From Rafael getting us signed in to our Dive Master Jose (who I fondly call Yoda), Shaggy, the Captain and everyone else on the Sagitario. We had 3 1/2 days of wonderful diving.

Cozumel is great and EMPTY. Our first dives today great! No cruise ships. The town is empty and so are the hotels. We did not worry about the flu and nobody else should either. Diving is great and that is why we are here. The island is STILL wonderful. Don't let the newspaper and television stations scare you away. They are just selling papers and bad news. Come on down and enjoy!

We just got home after a wonderful week in Cozumel. Carlee and I were lucky enough to have the most patient instructor alive right by our side. Thank you to Alfonso, you are truly a master of people as well as diving! Without you I'n not sure I would have made it! You're the best. Thanks to Ramon and Martin, our wonderful boat divemasters as well. You made our open waters the best! I can't wait to start planning our next dives with Dive Paradise!

My wife son and I just returned from another great dive trip to Cozumel(our 23rd trip). We have been diving with Dive Paradise for many years now having found them by a referral from freinds. This trip we used a service we haven't used before. My son took instruction for his open water certification and received his temporary card. He now has 16 dives on Cozumel! He enjoyed the classes and Instructor, (Carlos), very much. Once on the boats he immediately took to the water like a fish. Dive Paradise did a great job training our son to be a safe diver. We dove with Emilio almost everyday. What a great guy and divemaster! Thanks also to Apple, Santos, Miguel Sergio, and Jorge. We had so many requests and we were never disappointed. I highly reccomend Dive Paradise for Diving and now Instruction. Not only to they do a great job you'll have alot of fun too!

We have used Dive Paradise for many years now and have always been pleased with their service. We were recently on a dive when an older lady joined our group. Santos was her dive master. Victor was also a dive master on the boat that day. We were all very impressed with Santos and Victor. They were both very helpful to the lady and were very gentle getting her safely on and off the boat. Both dive masters are to be commended.

Dive Paradise came highly recommended by A-1 Scuba and I am so grateful my family took their advice. My family (1 adult and 3 teenagers)got their open water certification in Cozumel with dive master, Alfonso Alacantara. I can't say enough about the care and professionalism he gave my family in making them feel safe and comfortable in the water. Their boat dive was also a great experience with dive master, Jorge. We will certainly use Dive Paradise again and will recommend them to anyone we know planning a trip to Cozumel.

After many visits to Cozumel, we keep coming back to Dive Paradise for their excellent, friendly service. Our dive masters were, as usual, knowledgeable and friendly. Jorge 'the shark' was especially impressive on a rescue of a diver from another outfit. Great to see Gato, Goyo, Victor and all the rest. It's like visiting family when we return to Dive Paradise... and we will.

We just spent a week and a half at Hotel Cozumel diving with Dive Paradise. The boats were great, the boat captains and hands were great and the dive masters were great. Can't give enough praises for Jorge (both of them), Santos, Julio, Cholle (I wish I could remember all their names). Why not post some staff info. Thanks again. We will be back and will recommend you to all our dive buddies.

Mainely Scuba thanks dive paradise for yet another amazingly fun trip! This is my 3rd trip, our groups 4 or 5th to Cozumel diving with Dive Paradise. These guys know diving! Special thanks to our Dive Masters: Martin, Abraham, and Shaggy who made the experience rememberable, and fun. They were helpful, professional and thoughtful. Thanks for the birthday cake, no really...! We all can't wait to return. Keep up the great work!

Just wanted to give a big thank you to Dive Paradise. What a great experience. We were in Cozumel just for the day on a cruise ship and we set this dive up beforehand. I will definitely recommend Dive Paradise to others who will be traveling to Cozumel. I liked the number of people we had on our dive, I felt like the dive master could really take care of all of us. He was very patient and helpful. Thanks again, if we are ever in Cozumel again, we will dive with you.

I have dove with Dive Paradise 4 times and am a certified diver. It was my sister's first time. We were only in Cozumel for 5 days and my sister was able to get a class and a scuba lesson as well as 2 afternoon boat dives on shallow reefs (Villablanca Wall and Paradise). Wonderful once in a lifetime experience for them! They had Jose as their dive master. He was awesome, very safe, fun, and let them have some "on their own time" in the water, too. Oh my gosh... if you're wanting to dive and are worried about the risks; YOU ARE IN EXCELLENT HANDS! Do it! Thanks again, Jose! - Dede

We were in Cozumel 2/28-3/7 and went diving the entire time. The staff was extrememly helpful and always nice. Julio was our dive master for most of the trips and he was absolutely wonderful. He was always looking out for things to see and you could tell he was excited about finding sealife for us. He made me feel extremely comfortable. This was our first ocean diving experience and we could not have wished for anyone better! Definitely did not want to come back to the States.

We are return divers with Dive Paradise. They make the beginner and advanced divers feel welcome. The dive masters are very aware of all of the divers in the group and I notice how they stay aware of what the newer divers are doing. The staff is helpful to make everyone feel like they are family. When conditions are favorable for diving they find a way to make up any dives that may of been missed. We are not divers that enjoy returning to the same location for diving but will continue to use Dive Paradise for many years to come.

2 days ago I was basking in the sun on a fast boat on my way to Columbia Deep with my daughter. Today I have cleared the snow from my drive twice already with more on the way. I really miss Cozumel!! We have been using Dive Paradise since 2000 and would not consider any other dive shop on the island. DP is always accomodating and on this trip, a friend of mine decided to make the trip 2 days before we left, DP made sure Ben was on the fast boats with us. Jim at DP was great to work with and promptly returned e-mails when I was booking this trip. Miguel at the Hotel Cozumel Dive Shop was always friendly and very helpful. Our divemaster Martin was outstanding in his knowledge of diving and the reefs (and also a great guy). I will be requesting Martin to lead us on our adventures during our next trip and without question, will again be booking with Dive Paradise.
