I hired a private divemaster to dive with my 13 year old for his first Cozumel dives. I wanted to know he was in professional hands so I could sit back and just enjoy the experience of diving with him and let someone else do the instructing/correcting/wrangling. Have to say that was the best money I ever spent. Fernanda from Aldora was so good with him. He did a total of 6 dives and the difference in his skills between the first and sixth dives was amazing. And I definitely enjoyed the experience more because I got to sit back and just be his dad, not his divemaster. If you have a new diver I highly recommend spending the money on a private DM, will be a better experience for them and for you!
