Excelente trato y profesionalidad con Lalo y Chino. Hicieron que el buceo en cenotes fuera más mágico de lo que ya de por si es. Le dieron la tranquilidad a mi mujer que necesitaba antes de la inmersión, nos lo explicaron todo Perfecto y dentro del agua nos guió con gran profesionalidad. Volveremos a Riviera Maya porque nos fascinó y cuando volvamos sin duda los buceos serán con ellos

Important to mention

We want to mention that for this tour we cannot guarantee the sighting of the whale sharks, because nature cannot be controlled. Thus, we cannot make refunds if we do not see them. It is very rare for this to happen, and many times we see 20 or 50 or even more whale sharks but sometimes sea conditions do not allow us to see whale sharks despite all our efforts, please note that although unlikely that could happen to you. It is a federal rule since 2016 not to guarantee the sighting. This tour is not recommended for children under 4 years of age.

If there are no more than 2 sharks in sight we will not be able to swim with them, we will only be able to spot them from the boats. Whale Shark Federal Preservation and Conservation Rule

There will be no tours every day 30 of the season, on May 30, June 30. July 30 and August 30 will be closed to activity for all companies.
