its a very good time to see the whale sharks, we went out yesterday and swam with 6 sharks, a 15ft baby and 2 very big and playful manta rays! its great and i think mayan aqua dive is alright!!!

If you are in the Yucatan, there are regular tours offered to go snorkeling with whale sharks. Dives are a different story and you may be better off hiring a private boat to take you where the sharks are feeding in the morning. If you are up for snorkeling, whichiever comapany you decide to book with, make sure they display their license number on their website and offer cancelation and rescheduling money back policies. For more info you can visit the Swim With Whale Sharks website.

Have fun planning your adventures in paradise,
Eric

A 3/2 full suit is plenty warm, and MAD is a great dive op.

Mayan Aqua Dive is a great operation. I recommend them very highly to everyone. The whale shark trip is a must see because it's seasonal. The rest of the stuff can be fit in. Your profile has no indication of experience, so I wouldn't be recommending cenotes. But you can do it all through Ben. Drop him an email and customize a package. You'll love the op and the people. Great people! Ben is okay, too....

Ciao, mate!

We just retuned from Cancun, was there June 8th - 14th. Me and 17yr old son are new to diving and have very few dives in our logbook. We chose Mayan Aqua Dive due to the great recommendations from Scuba Board. We were not disappointed. One day we done a wreck and reef dive, there were only 7 divers and they provided 2 dive masters which done a GREAT job naking sure we were safe. Seen a great number of fish includeing a 200 lb Jew Fish guarding his boat as well as several nurse sharks, mora ells and many things I had no idea what was. The next day my son and I done a Cenote dive in Playa Del Carmen ( Choc Mool ) It was just us two and and dive master. We had never done a cave dive but wasn't worried at all since the DM made us very comfortable. I don't know who is the cheapest in Cancun, maybe Mayan and may not. I did not check pricing, I was wanting a safe, good operation that others had used and now I to can recommend them. You will not be sorry. If you do go Tell Ben Dale and Will from Alabama says Hi and we will see him next trip.
