Eduardo es un instructor de 10. Atento, paciente y profesional.

Hemos hecho el curso de Open Water y todo ha ido genial. Nos recogieron los 2 días cerca de nuestro hotel ya que estábamos en Playa del Carmen centro. El precio además es el más barato de la zona.

Recomendable 200%!!

I had an amazing experience with Eduardo who make me discover the dive in cenote. The dive was incredible and we had a good talk. I highly recommand Acuaticaribe and especially Eduardo.

Nous avons fait notre baptême de plongée avec Eduardo, nous avons vraiment passé une super matinée ! Eduardo était top, il nous a donné de supers conseils, était très à l’écoute, nous avons adoré cette plongée en sa compagnie !!

Et nous avons été très chanceux ! À peine dans l’eau et déjà nous voyons une grande raie bleue tachetée de blanc, puis une tortue et un requin nourrice. Ainsi que de beaux coraux et plein de jolis poissons colorés !

Nous recommandons cette plongée avec Acuaticaribe !

What an amazing experience! The sharks are huge and gets super close and it was super unique.

I took this tour off of the star of the sea cruise. I got off the boat at 7:30 and took the 8:30 ferry to playa del Carmen. Lalo picked me up at the terminal and brought me to the dive shop with plenty time to spare. I was by myself on this tour and got a 5 star private tour instead.

We dove down to 25m, spent 23min bottom time and saw tons of unique fish and sharks. They got super close and one even bumped my head! They are all super calm and I felt very safe the whole time.
