I just wanted to pop in and say how happy my husband and I were diving with Nicolas from Cenote Experience. I was planning on doing a 'trip report' synopsis of our diving while in Cozumel and the mainland, but I can address our cenote diving here.
Between the diving we did in Coz and the cenotes - the cenotes were the best. A really cool experience and I felt very comfortable with Nico. He was attentive, but not overwhelming. I was really impressed... when I waived the flash light from behind to let him know I was at 2,000 psi, with one swipe up he immediately turned around - he was obviously paying attention. He was soft spoken, but spoke perfect English. I am not sure if it was just the two of us because he was catering to just us, or if he did not have other clients that day - but I loved the fact that it was just the three of us. He pointed out lots of cool stuff and went along at a nice pace.
What ultimately made me decide to dive with him? I sent out about 6 emails to various cenote dive operators - he was the only one who actually answered my questions. Following instructions and meeting the requests of potential clientele ultimately made me feel more comfortable about putting our lives in his hands. Plus the sandwiches and peach juice were good! Alright enough gushing about Nico - email him and say what he has to say. www.cenotexperience.com.mx
We dove both sides of Dos Ojos plus Tajmahl. I liked maybe the first dive of Dos Ojos the best; however the artifacts and saline layer in Tajmahl were very cool - lots of photo opps on all the dives. Like good little touristos we bought the dive DVD at the Dos Ojos site - we actually love it and the pre-made video the guy (not connected with Nicolas) put on the dvd with all the photos is really cool! So don't be cheap - smile for the cave paparazzi and buy the version with the pre-made video.
