What Divers Say About Tulum
Michael Thompson
Ezequiel was wonderful. We did an initial refresher at the Cenote and explored the cenote and met the local alligator. Then we went to the reef and that was even better. Saw rays and lobsters. Ezequiel was patient and informative. Excellent morning!
David Chen
I chose The Dive Machine because of their environmental work and did my advanced training with them in Tulum — a wonderful experience. Deep cenotes, shipwrecks, reef dives, night dives, and cavern cenotes. Everyone was professional, safe, and very informative.
Laura Bennett
Would give six stars if I could! I went to the Dos Ojos Cenotes with The Dive Machine and had the best experience. My dive instructor made me feel really calm in the water. It was one of the best dives of my life! Totally coming back for more dives!
Jürgen De Saedeleer
The best place to go for diving near Tulum! First day we dove twice in a cenote and asked immediately to come back. Adrián warned us that the major danger of scuba diving was that you want more.
Thomas Weber
Went diving twice with Freya — first at a cenote in Tulum with clear instructions, then out to sea for the reef. Everything was arranged to perfection. Freya is a really top instructor who takes her time with everything and explains it clearly. A beautiful experience!
James Richardson
My first time diving in the Tulum cenotes was an incredible experience. Alberto was a brilliant guide, well equipped for any cave diving situation. His explanation of the halocline was spot on. Dive Machine arranged everything via WhatsApp — I plan to make this an annual trip.
