Diving in the Celestun area.

[Where2Next]

I have searched high and low and have found nothing. I had given up but watched on Discovery the other day the new series Cooper's Treasure. They were diving in this general area and it looked decent. The huge boat said SCUBA on the side, so I know there is something somewhere! Perhaps they are based in Campeche which is about 2.5 hours away - a bit far.

Does anyone know of a dive shop in the general area? Even a cenote works, just looking for a little 'scuba fix' while there without driving 4 hours to the Cancun area. Thank you!

Maybe contact these guys:
Yucatán Dive Altabrisa

They are in Merida, and do cenotes and ocean. Francisco is a good and patient guide.

This is probably the website for ^ - Yucatan Dive Center | Servicios Profesionales de Buceo

Also in Merida -
Tours de buceo, cursos de buceo,cenote dive tour, Explorer Divers, Mérida, Yucatán
Centro de Buceo en Yucatan, cursos y especialidades
Poseidon | Centro de Buceo

I know nothing about any of them.

I don't know Yucatan Dive Center, I do know one from Altabrisa, Francisco.

I do know that the cenotes around Merida are not nearly as busy as the ones around Playa del Carmen and around Tulum.

We just returned last night! But thank you for the responses. Celestun is a beautiful area, but no diving. We opted to just chill instead of make the 1.5 hr drive to Merida. I think there might be some great diving off the coast. I am surprised there was not one dive shop, or dive master offering his services. They have a thriving Sea Cucumber trade, and many folks 'dive' and die - seems like requiring people to get certified or at least offering it there might be something looking in to for someone looking for an adventurous endeavor!
