“Our first trip with the Dive Machine was 2023 as tourist divers and had a brilliant time with two dives on the Playa De Carmen reef. Back on hols again in 2025 and another trip was on our must do list. This time booked direct which was very easy and cheaper than through the holiday company. They pick up and collect and was fully covered under our standard holiday insurance. Wanted a different trip this time which they understood so we did Tulum with the wonderful Freya. She is professional yet fun which is exactly what you need. Put us all at ease. Surprised at how much of the basics we retained from the first trip and and Freya persuaded us to take it the next step to the open water quification. Was not a hard or pressurised sell, just if you loved it again, why not go for it. Cost of the first dive taken off as went towards the qualification. Another day with the wonderful Freya and training in a cenote rather than a pool was just amazing. On the 3rd and final day of training, passed over the equally lovely Paulina for 2 more dives. Get the photo/video package and tell them up front that you want/interested - I think it focuses the mind on more pictures and video. They show it to you after the dive and before you pay. Never felt pressurised to buy but after 23' and 25' bought both times as fantastic memories. For me a must. Got video of my kids at 10m down playing rock/paper/scissors 😂 Summary Very professional with the right level of fun and enthusiasm from the instructors. Might be a while before I can afford Mexico again but I know what will at the top of my must do list - another trip with the Dive Machine.”

“Diving with the dive machine was an awesome experience. I just got my open water licence with them and am officially addicted, already booking my advanced adventure licence. It’s awesome that you don’t have to do any dives in a pool, my first dive was in a shallow cenote then the second and third day in the ocean diving different reefs. The instructors are very professional and take every safety precaution into account I felt prepared and safe during every dive knowing I had highly trained professional divers with me. They are also very accommodating to personal preference and gave me options of where to dive. Overall it was a great experience and anyone looking to go out diving to book with them ! Update, I came back and did my advanced licence with Paulina and had another amazing time diving in Cenote, also did a cavern dive with Ricardo! Both Paulina and Ricardo are amazing guides and Instructors.”

“Adrian and Alejandra are great. They made me feel extremely comfortable in the water and my skills increased dramatically over the open water course. It was raining/thundering all week while I've been here and they worked around it, driving to cenotes. I would recommend the Dive Machine to any and everyone. Love their philosophy on education, accessibility to everyone and conservation. Was a great experience. Book them!!!!! Edit: Did my advanced open water with them this week, another fantastic experience. My buddy came down and did his open water and thoroughly enjoyed it. They mix it up with amazing ocean dives in cozumel and playa and cenotes. It is perfect. Again, book them!!!!! Another edit: 4 years with this company, most recently 3 days last week, and not a single bad experience, just wanted to shout them out again!”

Playa del Carmen y la Riviera Maya

Los cenotes de la Riviera Maya se encuentran a lo largo de la costa caribeña de la Península de Yucatán, entre Playa del Carmen y Tulum. Estos sumideros subterráneos se formaron durante millones de años cuando la roca caliza se disolvió, creando vastos sistemas de cuevas llenos de agua dulce cristalina.

El clima es tropical todo el año — la temperatura del aire oscila entre 25-33°C, y el agua de los cenotes se mantiene constante a 25°C sin importar la temporada. Esto hace del buceo en cenotes una actividad todo el año sin restricciones estacionales. La temporada seca (noviembre a abril) ofrece el clima más cómodo, mientras la temporada de lluvias (mayo a octubre) trae efectos de lluvia dramáticos que muchos buzos encuentran igualmente impresionantes.

The Dive Machine opera desde Playa del Carmen, proporcionando transporte a cenotes en toda la región. La mayoría de cenotes están a 30-60 minutos por carretera. Consulta los requisitos de buceo antes de tu viaje.
