Riviera Maya-Nice All Inclusive with good dive shop?

[easternx]

We are looking at possibly going to the Riviera Maya this spring will all probably stay in an all-inclusive. Looking for a 4 or 5 star All inclusive that also has a good dive shop - either on-site or within walking distance. Any suggestions much appreciated!

Gran Porto in Playa del Carmen down town is always a good option, and is close to many dive operation.

Iberostar Paraiso and Iberostar Tucan have Dressel Divers on site. Very nice dive op especially if you're on the newbie side of things.

Most dive shops will pick you up at your resort.

I always use Nico from CenoteXperience He gets great reviews here on scubaboard and T/A Cenote Xperience Reviews - Playa del Carmen, Riviera Maya Attractions - TripAdvisor

We ran a group trip last October and stayed at the Catalonia, which was very comfortable and had some really good snorkeling right off the hotel beach. They have a house dive op, but we did our diving through Dive Aventuras, which is about a three minute walk. We were extremely happy with the service from the dive operator, and would arrange another trip through them.

I have stayed in the Grand Pallidium several times (will be there again in 2 weeks). I like their dive shop. It is the same company as the shop in the Grand Porto, underwater technical world. I liked them last year and will be diving with them again this trip.

Check out the review a few posts down.
