I found Alux Divers (pronounced Alush) somewhat through good luck. My wife wanted to spend the morning at Mahahual Beach during a recent cruise ship stop at Costa Maya/Mahahual, and Alux Divers was next door. After checking reviews of Alux Divers on TripAdvisor, I decided to give them a try. What a great decision! I found everything about Alux Divers to be outstanding, from my first contact with Alex, the dive shop owner, to the actual dives, I could not have asked for a better dive experience during my one day cruise stop in Costa Maya. Alux Divers is a small, extremely professional, customer and safety oriented dive shop that will give you great dives, whether you are a new or highly experienced diver. Thankfully, Alex's dive boat is not a "cattle boat," having comfortable space for perhaps 6-8 divers. We had four divers on board for my two tank dive, did a standard back roll entry for the dives, and removed the dive equipment in the water before reboarding. Alex structured the dives based on my desires, experience level, and nothing was rushed or cut short to meet a timetable. Dive sites were close enough to enable the boat to return to the beach in front of the dive shop for a relaxing surface interval. Although I had my own equipment, a student diver with the other instructor was using Alux Divers rental gear, and it appeared to be in excellent shape. I would not hesitate to use or recommend Alex and Alux Divers for any future trips or for all divers.
