Ones to avoid:

I have dove with two dive operations in Cancun, and I recommend avoiding them both.

The first was AquaWorld. They are by far the biggest operation and that attitude shows. They are pure cattle boats and have a dangerous attitude of GET IN THE WATER NOW!! For my wife, this was her first salt water dive. In their rush to get everyone in the water, they literally pushed her off the boat with no air on. If we had not already paid for diving in Cozumel for the next day, my wife never would have dove again.

The following year I tried Manta Divers. It was better, but I still highly recommend not diving with them. My tank air was definitely foul. When I mentioned this to the dive master he correctly asked "does it taste oily" and then said that they had been having problems with it. Service was okay, but Ive had much better. When we returned, the owner asked us if we would be back the next day. When we said we were flying out the next day, he was very rude and obviously "dismissed" us.

There are plenty of other dive shops in Cancun, so I highly recommend avoiding these two.
