Dove with Tank Ha on two occasions for a total of 10 dives or so. Top rate.

The area's claim to diving fame are the cenotes, truly world class diving. If your wife has good buoyancy control and is comfortable in the water, no reason that you should exclude a cenote dive on your trip. Most of the cenote dives are cavern dives where you are always in sight of an opening to the surface. You will have a cave certified diver leading your group of a maximum of four divers.

If you are taking your own gear down, make the cenote dive that last dive of the trip to give the gear a really good rinse. Also, you can do the cenote dives the day before you fly since most of the dive will be a safety stop.

I have had the pleasure of diving with many of the shops in PDC and have not had a bad experience. Maybe a bad dive here and there but with 150+ dives in the area you are bound to have a few bad ones. By and large all the shops are very customer service conscious, and with tourism down the last several years they need to be to stay in business. My personal picks have been Cyan Ha, Tank Ha, Scuba 10 (just because I like the owners) and GeoFish. I personally will not dive with Phantom because they chum the bullsharks and I don't agree with the practice within site a public beach.

My 'thumbs up' goes to GeoFish because: (1) Proximity to beach (2) Fast comfortable boat - some shops won't go to reefs farther away because they take too much time - and they are the best spots (3) friendly and accomodating staff (4) competitive prices and excellent $ value for services received.

I still go out with the other shops on a per day basis, but whenever I book a trip and have other divers with me there are only a few shops that I consider. Whenever GeoFish is in the ballpark $$ wise they get my business.

I hit 140 ft on a dive in The Pit once.

we used divemike Playa del Carmen Diving, Dive Mike, Carribean, Mayan Riviera, Yucatan as we could not get a hold of geofish, i guess the number on their website is wrong or something..

we were very happy with divemike's operation and divemasters, they were a bit younger than other ops but they were very friendly and very professional.
