My boyfriend and I had an excellent experience with Bahia Divers. We went with Bahia Divers on the recommendation of the liaison at our Resort and also Bahia's excellent reviews on Facebook and Google. We aren't certified and so did the Discovery Program. Our instructor and master diver was friendly and informative. We felt safe throughout the whole experience. After our day we wanted to buy some of the pictures that the photographer had taken during the day. I messaged Marco on Facebook and he was very quick to respond and got me in touch with the photographer from the day, and we were able to purchase the pictures at a very reasonable price. I highly recommend diving with Bahia if you are in the area.
There are so many dive shops in Mexico WHICH DO YOU CHOOSE?! Hands down. THIS ONE!
I did research beforehand and was about to book one with "perfect" ratings 30 mins from my hotel. Noticed Bahia Divers at the beach of my hotel and I am SO HAPPY we went with these guys! My fiancée went from certified diver to open water and they allowed me to dive with him for free on one of his test dives - but don't go there asking and expecting free dives. We also did numerous dives with them (including a cenote) so they threw one free dive in the mix, so I wouldn't lay on the beach alone, while my fiancée did his certification dive.
They will work with you. Go talk to them! Amazing! Amazing! Amazing!
My family did a couple of dives with Bahia divers. Emilio was very attentive to the less confident divers and is obviously very passionate about what he does. Our first dive was in the ocean from a small boat that could be problematic for someone prone to motion sickness. Mel was our guide to two cenotes and what an experience! The water is so clear it really was like flying. The only thing that took away from our diving was that their rental gear was on the older side and we had several issues related to that.
My friend Marina and I completed our PADI certification at this shop last week and we couldn't be happier. Carlito was our instructor, Marco organised everything, and basically the entire staff was very nice and helpful. I loved how the guys handled my motion sickness the first day. I warned them upfront and they made a great effort to keep me comfortable and so it went smoothly for me despite the waves. It went so great that we did our third day of diving in the Dos Ojos cenote with Viro, and I felt like a pro already. I will definitely come back and I highly recommend this place.
I have never been diving. I signed up for Bahia Divers just to check it out and I'm hooked! Basically I went there and sat with a trainer who taught us everything on land then brought us to the shore to practice in the water. After a quick written test and a refill of the tanks we were on a boat to the reef. Next thing I knew I was 30 feet under water checking out tons of fish. I felt super safe the whole time and the trainers were very in tune with what's going on. Super rad trip!!
I loved both my cenote dives and bullshark dives with bahia!!! They are the best centre in Playa del Carmen, located on the most beautiful beach and offering each customer the kindest smiles and a perfect service. Thank you!
Had a blast with my discovery experience. Staff seemed very knowledgeable and profesional but at the same time we had a blast. By far the best location for this type of activity, would recomend this dive shop any day!!!
Great bunch of people. Did my first ocean dive here and DM Arianna was very helpful and patient. Great experience and will definitely be back. Great beach here too.
Best dive shop in the Riviera! The instructors I dove with were the absolute best.
Both the reefs and the cenotes were unique experiences I'll never forget! Plus, I started my PADI courses here.
Thank so much for everything! Hope I can pay it forward ;-)
Audriana was a fantastic instructor! Informative, understandable and helpful. I completely trusted her and didn't feel fearful on my very first dive ever. She had a friendly yet authoritative demeanor that drew you in while letting you know that she was in charge and would take care of you. All of the staff was incredibly friendly, encouraging and helpful. Highly recommend. Bring tip money because you will want to thank them for your experience when you surface.
