playa del carmen finding a shop that does 4 dives a day staying at Barcelo

[vhs]

I am looking for a dive shop that does 2 morning and 2 afternoon dives each day at the local reefs. I would be using all my own equipment except for weights and a tank. I would like to dive 3-5 days and at least 1 night dive. I am in Playa from Feb 14-Feb 25, 2013. I am interested in a shop that takes no more than 6 divers at a time out, has safety equipment on board and has been established for at least 5 years. I would like to also have an operator that provides water and fruit is always nice. I am staying at Barcelo Maya Palace Deluxe. I do not know what dive shop is on the hotel property. Suggestion and feedback would be great. Thank you.

Dressel Divers is the onsite dive shop. I did nine dives with them this month and found them to be very good. However, they normally do only a 8 am and a 1 pm dive. But they will do a two tank dive in the morning if they have enough interest.
They sometimes have more than 6 divers on the boats but drop divers in groups according to their experience. They have bottled water or a water cooler on the boats but not fruit. They only thing I did not like about the shop was that it is difficult to do a lot of dives in a day.


The Blue experience are nearby and will pick you but I do not know how many dives a day they do.
