I couldn't agree more with Scuba Dave regarding Aqua World. We went to Cancun over Christmas. One dive with them was enough. They rush you onto the boat, rush you getting geared up, practically throw you in the water and like Scuba Dave said they give you a max bottom time of 30 minutes. On top of that once we got to depth it was a like a swimming race trying to keep up with the divemaster. It was obvious that they were trying to get everyone to breath their tanks down ASAP. On the second dive they were practically shoving us into the water, but failed to open everyones tank valves. Guess you forget little things when you are in a hurry.
The rest of the time we dove we used Solo Buceo. The boats aren't the greatest, sometimes a little crowded but these drawbacks were outweighed by the customer service. They were helpful, not in a hurry, service oriented and the divemasters guided us to some great spots, and there was not max bottom time. Very nice group of people to be around.
If you are looking for a relaxing trip don't use Aqua World.
