What Divers Say About Cozumel
Sarah Mitchell
Adrian, Alejandra and Mauricio are a stellar team. The Dive Machine really prioritizes safety on dives by keeping the ratio of divers to instructors low. We did 2 cenote dives and 10 reef dives in Cozumel worth every penny.
Mark Anderson
The diving setup in Cozumel is excellent and well organized. On two occasions there was only myself and the instructor. I also admire the ethics of The Dive Machine, including their work with people with special needs or physical disabilities.
Chris Taylor
Cozumel diving was awesome — could just drift in the current and enjoy the most spectacular reef I have ever seen. The team arranged pickup from our hotel, food, and even a larger tank. Small groups and incredible marine life.
Daniel Brooks
A highly professional team that is passionate about preserving the reefs of Cozumel as well as improving your dive skills. I chose to go with them because of the work they are doing to make things better on our Earth.
Hannah Müller
We went diving twice with The Dive Machine — once on Cozumel with Debby and once in Playa directly with Merle. It was really great! We felt comfortable during the trips and had a lot of fun. Would go diving again anytime with them!
Ryan O'Brien
I dived with Paulina recently and had the best day! We did a boat trip to Cozumel to dive the reef. Great service from start to finish — very friendly and super knowledgeable about all the different fish and life we might see down there.
Sophie van der Berg
Took the ferry to Cozumel then a speedboat to a beautiful reef for two dives with Freya. She took beautiful pictures and movies during the dives. Everything was arranged to perfection. Overall a very good experience!
