Tank-Ha used to be a pretty good outfit, but have not dove with them since it was sold.

Not trying to highjack thread, but what about Playa Scuba? Seem to have best pricing, experience?

Ive done cenotes with Playa Scuba and was very happy...We had Marco as our guide .
He is an exceptional diver and just an all around nice guy ..from the short time I had to look at thier operation, I would imagine they run it the same way as they do the cenote dives..and that's top notch

GREAT shot of the original Tank-Ha shop.

As a mixed group of diving and non-diving friends, 10 of us will be staying just north of Playa at El Dorado Royale in November. I have done 4 trips in the cenotes, each at the conclusion of a Cozumel dive trip, but have never dived the reefs off Playa del Carmen, nor used a Playa dive operator.

It would be convenient to use an operator who will pick-up at the resort, but the most important thing is to book with an operator who will provide relaxed, easy-paced and lengthy dives. Depending on how well it goes, we could do 4 days of ocean diving and finish with a "gear rinse" day in a cenote.

I liked the tone of the post a few messages above from Salvador Serrano of Sea-Pro Divers so I checked the web-site and e-mailed him with some questions, but after an initial reply that did not address my questions, my subsequent two e-mails have not been answered. I would like to hear from them because they seem to offer what we need, but the lack of response at the sales stage makes one wonder what kind of response one would get after confirming a booking. Does anyone have any experience or comments about Sea-Pro?

What other shops can be recommended to provide the easy paced dives we are looking for?

Thanks for your replies

Hi Andy,

El Dorado Royale is closer to Cancun than it is to PDC. You would be asking a lot from a shop to give you door to door service from PDC. Best guess is a 30min+ drive and that is being generous.

El Dorado Royale is certainly some distance north of Playa, but is still quite a bit closer to there than it is to Cancun according to Google maps.

Still wondering about dive operators.
