Dove the reef in Puerto Morelos — incredible visibility and so peaceful compared to busier dive spots. Freya explained every species we encountered. The reef is in fantastic condition and the lack of crowds made it truly special.

Took my family for a basic dive course near Puerto Morelos. Alejandra and The Dive Machine team were amazing. My 13-year-old son said it was the best day of the holiday by far. The professionalism was impressive. 100% recommendation!

Ben Taylor

Paulina guided us through the Puerto Morelos reef and it was untouched paradise. Far fewer tourists than Cozumel or Cancun — exactly what we wanted. She was very patient and knowledgeable. Already planning our return trip!
