Just returned last week from 3 days of the best diving we have ever done. The divemasters were great and very helpfull. Thanks for there patience with my wifes ear pfoblems and helping her solve the problem so that she could enjoy the rest of her dive. There concern for safety was very impressive. Thanks for 6 great dives and we will see you on our return trip to cozumel.

Thank you Rafael for a wonderful memory of our trip.We are already planning our trip for next year and we can't wait. Thanks again Dive Paradise for a wonderful week of diving.
04/25/2008 Diane Moore Kirkland, WA 
Apple, thank you for a wonderful dive experience, again! This was my 9th trip to Cozumel and just as great at the other trips. Thanks to or DM's Luis, Gato, Jorge and Giovanni as well as out Captain and Sailor. You are all the best and went above and beyond taking care of our group. As always, looking forward to my next trip :)
04/25/2008 Kathryn Florek Concord, CA 
This was my first trip to Cozumel and my first experience of strong currents; it was like watching an underwater video while riding on a fast moving walkway. Great fun! The staff was helpful and attentive to everyone's needs, and ever so patient even with divers whose behavior, in my humble opinion, called for being thrown overboard. I now understand what keeps my brother going back a couple times a year.
04/23/2008 Thomas Florek San Francisco, CA 
Just got back from six days of fantastic diving. Had a great time as always and already planning on returning as soon as possible. Kudos to Dive Paradise for taking good care of me, my family and friends.
04/21/2008 Russ Beabout St. Clairsville OH 
Had a very enjoyable time diving with Dive Paradise. We just got back from our 4th trip to Cozumel and we plan to got back next year and dive with Dive Paradise again. The divemasters always have safety in mind on every dive. I saw the divemasters handle a complete jackass with professionalism. We also had a scuba toons drawing done by Rafael. He did a fantastic job. He is definately worth the money. Can't wait to got back.
04/15/2008 Tracy Halifax, Nova Scotia 
Thank you for an amazing dive experience! Your dive masters are absolutely outstanding and your boat crews are the most organized I've ever seen. Diving with Dive Paradise was excellent. I appreciated that the groups were small, that there was a small diver/divemaster ratio, that the divemasters were sensitive to levels of experience/comfort of the divers, and that the crew were so organized and efficient. I will recommend Dive Paradise to all my friends!!
04/7/2008 Barb & Riley Cleveland, OH USA 
Thank you all so much for an awesome experience! My son and I did 17 dives over 6 days and on each we were treated with the greatest respect and concern for our safety. All the divemasters did a fantastic job of pointing out the variety of life all around us. I'll be booking another trip asap!
04/6/2008 Arlene & Larry Deltaville. VA 
We just returned from our dive trip with Dive Paradise and wanted to thank your entire staff. Alfonso and Omar made our trip fantastic. We can't thank Omar enough for being such a great divemaster. We look foraward to the next time we get to dive with you. Thanks again!
04/4/2008 Michael Hansen Minneapolis, MN 55109 
Just got back from our spring break diving trip and had a blast. I did 21 dives with Dive Paradise and couldn't have asked for anything else. The staff was incredible and helped out with all my needs. This was our second dive trip with Dive Paradise in Cozumel and it most defiently won't be our last. If you want the number one in Cozumel you have to go with Dive Paradise.
04/2/2008 Lauren Baraboo, Wisconsin 
We traveled with our Dive group from 3 Little Devils in Baraboo,Wisconsin and we had a great time. The staff was hilarious and very helpful with all our needs. The diving was spectacular and had lots of variety, because they will take you to pretty much any dive location you want to see. We just wanted to say we had a wonderful time and would love to come back soon to dive with you all again.
03/31/2008 Lenny & Maria Chicago, Il 
I wanted to write after my fiancee and I just returned to chicago after another successful dive vacation with Dive Paradise. We went diving for 4 days...we saw a bunch of turtles, lobsters, crabs, and nurse sharks... The friendly turtles are the best!
03/24/2008 Vicky & Gary Norman Yukon, Ok. USA 
Thank you for a wonderful week diving. The star fish were such a treat. Apple you have such a great crew, we love them and they do a good job. They want you happy and safe. See you in May. Vicky & Gary
03/10/2008 Joe Medrano Pharr, Texas

03/9/2008 Kevin Lee Ahl 407 East King Place 
Hello Apple just a note to say hay, i sent the picture of you and i into the web master. Kevin Ahl Nome, Alaska
03/3/2008 Erin & Taylor Buckingham St. Louis, Missouri 
Thanks again to Apple and Lucy and everyone at Dive Paradise for yet another wonderful diving experience in Cozumel. I've been coming to Coz for 10 years, and my husband's family has been diving with Dive Paradise for over 15 years, and we all keep coming back. The reefs are in great condition, and your great divemasters showed us everything. Thanks and hopefully we'll see you again soon!
02/27/2008 Soott Shepherd box 2076 Wpk, CO 80866 
26 of us from Colorado Springs, dove with Dive Paradise for a week.They brought their "A" game. More than happy to take us to the places we wanted to dive. Totally found all the hidden fish that we would never see. (even Splendid Toadfish). So very attentive to all the divers, of all levels. Paying attn to all. Even dropped weights on 2 different divers, 3 days prior to their knowing it. (always use less, if u can)Especially Jose. I need another 2 pages to say all that can be said about Dive Paradise! Thanks, Scott
02/13/2008 Randy & Melanie Clinton, MS 
Thanks to our friends at Dive Paradise for another great job this year. We had several excellent divemasters, but Goyo particularly stood out. We have been diving with him on previous trips, and as always, he was professional, and a pleasure to dive with. The highlight of our trip this year was when we went to Tortuga on the Coquetta. We encountered a nice sized Lemon Shark -- about 8 feet, many turtles, and huge morays! Our experience was so positive, we have already booked our return for this fall. Thanks again!
02/4/2008 Virgnia Jewer & Brian Smi Box 50010 Okotoks, AB, Canada 
We dived with you guys from Janaury 23 to 27 and we want to say thanks for the great experience. You really have a great group of Divemasters and boat crews representing you. I posted a review on Trip Advisor too, as so many of your other loyal customers do. Thanks especially to Gato and Jose' for making sure I got photos of all the critters I wanted to. We'll be back for more this summer!!
02/3/2008 Mina Fitting Midland, Texas, USA 
Want to say thanks for the special care given to me in providing private guides that helped in leading me to new confidence that I can continue diving in spite of a scary episode of Pulmonary Edema last spring. Your attention to the seriousness of this helped me to deal with it in a realistic sense. ALSO was most impressed with the dive experience. I've been going to Cozumel for years (short stays) but saw bigger and more exceptional this time. Thanks again.
02/1/2008 Randy & Carla Koppenhaver Locust Grove, OK USA 
Thank you for another wonderful year. A big thanks for Jorge A. who is a great dive master and person. We will be back next year for another awesome experience. Randy & Carla
01/22/2008 Mark & Gwen Bussink Brantford, Ontario Canada 
We were extremely happy with our experience with your company. We had never dove in Cozumel before and stummbled across your ad in the phone book, (AND VERY GLAD WE DID!!!) Jose was our divemaster and we couldn't have asked for any better, we had a couple beginners in our group and felt very comfortable and safe with Jose as our guide. AND the spotted eagle ray we saw at the end of our second dive was unforgettable. We highly recommend your shop to anyone and we will definately return to dive with you guys... gracias para las gran zambullidas
01/12/2008 Michelle & Leif Hedstrom Denver, CO 
Have never dove in Cozumel before, but had friends (Randy at Coral Reef Scuba, for one!) who highly recommended DP. I'm so glad they did, because our dives were fantastic. On our last morning boat dive, the whole boat wanted to go to Palancar Caves, and without problem they took us there. Omar was the best DM and we had him for every one of our dives. We'll definitely come back!
01/9/2008 Bob Chambers Fishersville, VA 
We have been going to Coz every year for the past 7 or 8 years and have always done our diving with Dive Paradise. I've travelled all over the Caribbean and dove with many operators but there are none better than DP. The boats are well-maintained, the divemasters are professional and knowledgeable, and their concern for your safety is unmatched. If you've ever been on a group dive with a divemaster who never looks back to see what then group is doing, you'll really appreciate the attentiveness of these people. You get to dive your own dive, but with the assurance that there is a pro watching out to make sure everyone has a safe dive.
01/2/2008 Tim Peterein 701 N. Mill Festus, MO USA 
Returned form Cozumel on the 20th of December. I went on several dives with Dive Paradise. These guys rock!! safety is number 1 always sure where everyone is and never left a dive site or dock without a 100% positive roll call. I was most impressed with the fact that telling them your buddy was in the head wasn't enough they wanted to see him for themselves. GREAT REEFS!! GREAT DIVE COMPANY!! I can't wait to return and will always use Dive Paradise. We hav to bag one day because of weather when we couldn't make it up I thought it would be a total loss. Not so Apple simple gave me a refund no fuss. Going to Cozumel? Dive with these guys!!
12/18/2007 Vicky & Gary Norman Yukon, Ok. USA 
Dear Apple, Thank you and your staff for a wonderful ten days. The dives were great and you have the best dive masters on the island. We saw so many new things thanks to Gabby who always takes his time and looks for new things for us. We are still looking for a bat fish and maybe in March. Well back to shoveling snow, wish we were there.
12/17/2007 Rick Voight & Paula Indianapolis, IN. 
Our early December visit with Apple's Dive Paradise was the best we have experienced in the 12 years we have been going to Cozumel. Emilio & Gorge were great and as usual Apple was the perfect Hostess. Everything was better...Dive Paradise professialism, the undersea life, the hotel and the town. We'll be back next year....thanks again to all of you.
11/18/2007 Charles and Anna Little  
A very big thanks to Luis A. "eagle", Gato and Santos for making our third trip to Cozumel another success. Always professional and love their jobs and the reefs, can't ask for any better DMs. Can't wait to come back again.
11/11/2007 George L. Correa 1054 W. North Shore 
Well we dove with Dive Paradise again for the 7th year in a row. Our D.M. was Goyo and we cannot say enough to compliment this hard working young man. We had dove with him in previous years and his standards have not diminished. Our safety was his primary concern and he did a great job doing that. He showed us many marine life creatures that we had never seen before in Cozumel. He took a group of us on a night dive and that was very exciting too. How many DM's can find a Seahorse on a night dive? Wow! He insured that we were never far from him while he looked for cool stuff for us to see. he checked for our air consumption during the entire dive. He was friendly, professional and hard working the entire week that we were there. He is the best! We will be back Apple !! Thank you for a great week! George & Lizzette
11/7/2007 Jeannie McGinnis Brush Creek, Tn. 
Victor and Santos rock!! They were our DM's on our week long group trip recently and they and the boat crew were all exceptional! They manage to become your DM and friend during your trip. I can't say enough positive things about their knowledge, concern for our safety, professionalism and friendly attitude. Thanks to everyone at Dive Paradise!!
11/5/2007 Ryan Blackburn Louisville, KY 
Being a PADI professional I have experienced a wide variety of diving crews, but Dive Paradise's Victor and Santos were great. Not only were safety and a sense of humor paramount (both on ship and the island) but their ability to find any creature underwater was superb. When I return to Cozumel again I will make sure to reserve these fine divemaster's ahead of time. Thanks for a great trip and a job well done!
11/5/2007 Amanda Wilson Nashville, TN 
Thank you to Dive Paradise and our awesome dive crew! I brought nine divers of all levels of experience with me and our divemasters VICTOR and SANTOS really made the week. One of my divers called our trip to Cozumel "the trip of a lifetime." During our 15 boat dives, Victor and Santos bonded with our entire group and their humor and focus on safety really meant a lot, especially as we dealt with less-than-optimum weather conditions. They were also great guides and showed us things we all would have missed! I've dived with Dive Paradise in the past and will do so again. I recommend requesting Victor or Santos as your divemaster; but if we are there at the same time, I'll claim them first! ;)
11/4/2007 Dr Randall Blackburn 203 Bergermont Ct 
This has been my 4th visit to Cozumel and second time with Dive Paradise. I am again so impressed with the DP operations and safety concerns. We again had superior Divemasters. Victor and Santos are to be commended for their professionalism and knowledge. Their first concern as it should be is safety of all. They gave many suggestions and made our dives most entertaining. When I return these two DM's will be my groups choice. Thanks again Dive Paradise, Victor and Santos.
10/5/2007 Darren Anderson Orem, Utah USA 
Our little group of four took two days worth of diving and it was amazing. We have dove for a few years with Dive Paradise and love them. I am not the only one, as I travel for business I stop by every dive shop I can and talk dives. Everyone I talk with uses Dive Paradise. There is a good reason for that. I don't know of a better dive company out there that take care of you as well as D.P.. Our dive master was Emilio and we wanted to thank you for an amazing underwater experience. He found so many small animals we would have missed. A box fish 1/2 the size of a penny. A baby eel that could not have been more then a few months old. Thank you for making the girls feel comfortable, making us more addicted to diving, and for picking amazing dives! Darren Teresa Brandon And Lesliegh
10/1/2007 Jorge Gonzalez Colchester, CT 
I had so much fun with the group of divers of DIGITAL JAM. Their care and help with each other, the staff from the dive operator DIVE PARADISE, were awesome the dive masters, LOCO & MARTIN made our dive’s safe & fun. Fred, Phil and Brad made us a better photographers not just for the techniques and experiences that the shared with us, but also for the underwater photo etiquette lessons. Thank you Dive Paradise I had a wonderful time learning. Visit this link to view my Photos: http://seaviewscubact.com/CZM-DIGITAL/index.html
09/23/2007 Thom n Tammy Launders  
Just got back from Cozumel again. 4th trip in 5 years. We picked the right time. A little bit of rain and great diving. Whoever says that September diving is bad? They are WRONG. Hotel were about 1/3 full. Lots of rooms. The reefs are back and there were more fish, turtles and swim-throughs then ever. Diving with Dive Paradise was excellent as always. We never had more than 14 on their largest boat and plenty of room. The divers we met were fun to dive with. We even took a ride over to tortugas. The turtles that we saw weren't worried about the divers. They just kept eating and didn't worry about all of the divers taking pix. We are looking forward to going back next year. We will be looking forward to having GOLLO for our DM again.
09/12/2007 Eric Hinson Moore, Oklahoma 
Being a first time diver, this was the best expereince I have ever encountered. I fell in love with Cozumel as soon as the plane landed. the diving is spectacular, and having experienced dive masters with Dive Paradise made my first time that much more enjoyable. I can't wait to return in Oct. I recommend Dive Paradise to everyone I talk to, they really know what they are doing and they now have a life long customer.
09/10/2007 Vicky & Gary Norman Yukon, Ok. USA 
We had a great week in Cozumel, The diving was so good. My love to Gabby, Tony B.,Gato,Rafael and everyone. We could not have asked for a better time, the eel, in open water, and the 4 sharks on Punta Dalila the last dive were the icing on the cake. If you dive and are not diving Cozumel with Dive Paradise you missed the boat. We love you.
09/8/2007 Karen Kratz Las Vegas, NV 
I just found this website and have to add my 2 cents! I cannot say enough great things about Dive Paradise ... starting with Apple and her mission to make sure everyone has a good time. I have been diving with Dive Paradise for years and there is no other dive operation that can beat them in regards to service and friendly staff!!!! Like others have commented ... Cozumel has become a home away from home to me. It is my favorite place to dive (and I've been to some pretty nice places ... Honduras, Dominican, Grenada, Cayman, Virgin Islands)and I have to say that a big reason for that is the staff at Dive Paradise!!!
09/4/2007 Diego R.  
I spent 5 days in Cozumel, and your staff made my trip! Everyone I met and dealt with from your schedulers, to captains, divemasters, and instructors were great. The hospitality and good nature was beyond all other experiences. Dive Instructor Ramon, and Divemaster Grabriel stood out for their willingness to go the extra mile. I completed my Nitrox with Dive Paradise, and plan on using you guys to further my education and experiences. Sincere thanks once again, and hope to see you soon-Diego
08/30/2007 John Wood Franklin, TN. USA 
My son & I spent a week with Dive Paradise the first week of August. We were happier with Dive Paradise than our hotel or airline. The crew & boats were friendly & fine. Thanks Apple for the effort & concern you show your clients. Tip: read up on the dive sites so that when the crew asks you where you want to go in the morning you are ready!
08/28/2007 Marilyn Brenneis Fort Worth, Texas 
I wanted to promptly thank you, Dive Paradise Divemasters and Boat Captains and the guys at the shop at Barracuda Hotel, for the good time my brother and I had while we were there Aug. 24-26. Your professionalism and commitment to safety are so much appreciated. As it turned out we saw 8 different reefs! I would like to personally thank Omar, for his patience and help on our first dive in Cozumel. Victor was hilarious (my name is Victor, not Hector!). Jaime was also a great help. And the Divemaster with the two different color fins and the black & neon green wetsuit was easy to find underwater! The others were just as great also, I just can’t remember everyone’s names. Your hospitality on the boat was so much appreciated with the fresh fruit and pastries & sandwiches. It was like we were in your homes. I will recommend Dive Paradise to everyone I know, and I hope we can return again one day soon. God Bless!
08/25/2007 Jason Denno 146 Harmon st Granby MO 
mywife and i traveled to cozumel via cruise ship so we had little time in cozumel but we ended up @ el cid and let me tell ya the water,fish and starfish were all beautiful, and yes we are coming back in june of 2008 hope to stop by and speak to the dive shop and see more wonders that cozumel has to offer thank you
08/23/2007 Greg & Judi Thacker Sugar Land, Texas 
Apple, I am so glad that you & the guys are safe & well. We have rescheduled ourtrip & will see you on the 2nd of September.
08/21/2007 Catherine & Dave LaGrange Tiffin, OH 
We were holding our breath with you, waiting to see where Dean would go. And we were praying that Gollio, Gato and all the other great folks there at Dive Paradise - as well as the island and the reefs - wouldn't have to go through another battering like Wilma. So although Dean no doubt left a calling card, Cath & I are greatful he spared Cozumel the worst. We hope you see you guys again real soon.
08/21/2007 Kevin & Mary Richmond Hill, Ga / USA 
Our prayers are with Dive Paradise and all the wonderful people of Cozumel as hurricane Dean passes. May God keep you all safe. Prayerfully, Kevin & Mary
08/20/2007 Charlie and Anna Little  
Thanks for some great diving, even though it was only two days because of the boats being pulled due to threat of Dean. A special thanks to my private dive master, "Gato", Luis. If I didn't feel quite comfortable in the water, I do now. We shall return before the end of the year.
08/14/2007 Stacy Amberson 8358 New Point Drive 
Thank you Dive Paradise! The diving was spectacular! All DP staff we came into contact with were friendly and helpful. Especially the dive crews – Victor was our DM (on request) for the majority of the week. He is the absolute best; knowledgeable, professional and very safety conscience. We always had the best dive sites to ourselves. A trip to Turtle Reef was the highlight of our week, we saw 27 turtles and… A Spotted Eagle Ray (about 14 ft wing span) In Cozumel there is now only one dive Op for us (& fav DM Victor)– Dive Paradise!
07/21/2007 Julie & Arnie Minear Wheatland Wyoming USA 
We will be returning to Cozumel at the end of July - next week infact. This will be our 4th trip to Cozumel. We are scuba divers and have found Cozumel to be the Best of the Best places to dive. The water is clear and so many beautiful fish, coral, ect. to see. The people are friendly and kind. We look forward to our revisits more with every return.
07/10/2007 Kevin & Mary Twomey Richmond Hill, Georgia 
Dive Paradise, Thank You! Our first trip to Cozumel was nothing less than awesome due to the excellent dive staff at Dive Paradise! The dive crew paid special attention to the safety of each individual on each and every dive. Victor and Martine were complete gentalmen and very professional. The dive crew made each dive informative and and enjoyable. Thank you Dive Paradise and the dive crew for making our first Cozumel trip an unforgetable memory! Sincerely, Kevin & Mary Twomey
07/8/2007 Dickie and Margaret Todd Dallas, Texas 
Just returned from Cozumel. We celebrated our 100th dive with Dive Paradise. We were truly surprised when Apple had a "100th dive" cake made for us and waiting on the boat when we finished our dive. This is what makes Dive paradise so special and truly the "best" on the island. Our dives were some of the best we've ever done in Cozumel. Margaret and I are Dive Paradise fans for life. They have the best Dive masters and dive boats period. Dive Paradise is our second family now because we know everyone there and love them all. We also went to Holbox with Israel on our last day there and it was unbelievable. Thanks to Israel for making our trip to Holbox so good and taking care of us. Thanks Apple for everthing. We'll see you soon.
06/28/2007 Cheva Heck / Karla Mendez Key West, FL 
Paradise Dive, you ROCK! We just came back from the most amazing dive week. Apple, you are surrounded by incredible staff, like the personnel at the office and on all the boats. Their great attitude and sense of humor made a fun week even better. Very safe, well run drift dives. We loved Palancar Caves and flying over Villa Blanca. Beautiful clear blue water, big grouper and snapper, lots of crinoids (Cheva’s favorite!). And how could we forget the between-dive snacks! We had the best divemaster, Mr. Victor Gamboa and crew. Victor, you are awesome. We are coming back next year, and we want you as our Dive Master! Besos y abrazos, Chaparrita Sabrosa y El Amor de Tu Vida.
06/27/2007 Dennis Indianapolis, IN 
Cozumel is my second home; I wish it were my first! My group is looking forward to our annual trip coming up in December. Thanks to Apple and the crew of "Cascabel" (Es tu Juan!) for always treating us well. For a look at the video I did from last years visit: http://www.veoh.com/videos/v6875249enMH5Gg Can't wait to hit the water again!
06/25/2007 Everett Fort Mill, South Carolina, USA 
We just returned from a week of diving and had a private boat for the five of us. What a way to dive! Luis Aguilas was our divemaster. In all our years of diving, we have never had such great service. He did all of the gear setups for each dive and gave great briefings. He took us to great dive sites and found all of the good stuff. We will be coming back and will ask for Luis!
06/25/2007 Debbie in Florida  
Just returned from another incredible vacation diving with Dive Paradise. Many thanks to the entire team for making this one to remember even now that I'm back at work! It was especially memorable, since I did my 500th logged dive. We took advantage of a calm, sunny day and zipped over to the mainland offshore of Xcaret to dive with the turtles. And then I became one with a school of huge tarpon that swam around me as I rested lightly on the seabed. Totally awesome! I've been coming to Dive Paradise and Cozumel since the beginning of Dive Paradise. This was the best time yet.
06/14/2007 Vicky & Gary Norman Yukon, Okla. U.S. A. 
Dear Dive Pardise Staff, You are the best. I had the best birthday week ever, thank you. I love the dive masters and the saliors, especially Orlando, give him our love and tell to jump off the back of the boat for us. To my friednd Tony Bolonge, I wiah we could of dove with you mor and we will see you in August. Vicky & Gary Norman
05/31/2007 Debbie Crawford Denver, Colorado USA 
Hola to everybody at Dive Paradise! :) I had such a wonderful time on my first official dive trip! This was just my second time to Cozumel (first time was when I got certified with Dive Paradise). I did 9 dives in 3 days(including my first night dive!)and just couldn't believe all the amazing, beautiful sights in the pretty blue waters of Cozumel! Awesome walls and walls of coral, colorful fish of all kinds (including huge, funny-lookin' groupers and pretty angel fish--look like they're wearing lipstick!), stingrays, turtles, an octupus, nurse sharks, crabs, lobsters, eel and a pod of about 15 dolphins with 2 babies to name a few of these amazing sights! The divemasters at Dive Paradise are the best!! Thank you so much to Gato loco, Jorge, Julio, Jaimie and Tony Bologne for some great dives! And Ramon, Julian, Pico, Emilio, Alex and Ely are awesome too! Thank you mi amigos--you all do such a great job!! Thanks for being so friendly and sharing your love of the underwater world! I miss Cozumel so much--plan on coming back very soon! God bless you all! :)
05/29/2007 Connie Johnson Powder Springs, Georgia USA 
Oh my, there you go again; you gave us another fabulous dive vacation. Year after year you have provided us with wonderful memories and terrific dives. This year we had 25 divers in our group and all were thrilled with the experience and would love to return. The dive masters were superb!!! Emilio, Gabby, Hoyo, Omar, Miguel and Nick once again made us feel like family and made each of our dives incredible. Apple your staff and crew really shine!!!

05/19/2007 Diane Moore Kirkland, WA USA 
Apple, what can I say, another GREAT trip to Cozumel thanks to you and your staff at Dive Paradise! This was my 8th trip to Cozumel and of course looking forward to the next one. Thanks to all of your crew that took care of us. A special thanks to Divemasters Luis, Jorge and Gato for doing such a fabulous job. I love them all! To see a sea horse more then one time was a special treat but when the dolphins went by us I was just amazed! Thanks again and see you all soon :)
05/16/2007 Diane Telander Glen Ellyn, IL, USA 
Dive Paradise is the best operation ever! I have dived with you and referred countless people to you for years and you never disappoint. The divemasters are wonderful and always make sure that they take good care of their divers to get the best experiences possible out of their dive vacation. I have never encountered an operator that even came close to the quality, service, courtesy and efficiency that your operation offers CONSISTENTLY. This is why we will come back again and again. SUPERIOR! THANK YOU!
04/26/2007 Jeff Venn Lansing MI USA 
Apple, Jose, Martin, Lobo, and all the staff at Dive Paradise, I want to thank you once again for providing a superb diving experience for everyone in our group. As this was year #22 for our Cozumel Adventure I know I speak for so many who have come year after year, including my relatives, you are the best!. It is like coming home to return to a staff that is like family. Our dives were tremendous and we all agreed we saw more “critters” this year than ever. We look forward to our next visit with glee. Jeff Venn
04/3/2007 Sylvia Boston USA 
I second that Russ!! We had so many incredible experiences with our favorite Divemaster Luis. The only disappointing thing about the trip was that we did not get to dive on the 26th due to the port closing and we couldn't say bye to Luis!! Hopefully our family will be back in Cozumel soon. I can't tell you how much we love the island and the diving. What a blast!! Thank you!!

I just wanted to thank Dive Paradise for another fantastic experience. We have been diving with you for 3 years now, and continue to enjoy your service! Our group has been back for 2 weeks or so, and I imagine that I am speaking for everyone in saying that I daydream every moment about the great diving experiences we had! Thank you so much Jorge and Matu, who made the experience outstanding. They were informative, well organized, and fun! Thanks again and I hope to see you all real soon!

Just got back from Coz. We had 10 dives with Dive Paradise. They did everything right. They were very safety conscious. Every boat we were on had 16 or fewer divers and two dive masters except the one day that they had 3. The boats picked us up right on time, they let us choose dive sites and every dive I felt safe. I wouldn't hesitate to go with them again.

Can anyone tell me if Mike is still working as a DM at dive paradise? I dove Cozumel about 3 years ago and he was great, and I was hoping to get to dive with him again when I'm there next month. Thanks!

Thank you for another great dive vacation. After 9 years of diving with Dive Paradise I am of the opinion that you are #1 on the island. This year the dive with Fred and Tammy to the Playa turtles beat any previous dives. Emilio leading the way on the trip to Playa was the highlight of the year. Your dive masters are the best, your service is the best. Thank you for always providing the PERFECT vacation!!!!

Thanks again Dive Paradise!!! You have ALWAYS come through for us. We have been diving Cozumel for 14 years now and have been with Dive Paradise for the last seven. We have dove with many different operations but find the professionalism and freindliness of Dive Paradise is unequaled. Not very often do we get to do new dives in Cozumel but the trip on dive boat from Cozumel to Playa was well worth it! On the first dive we saw between 40 and 50 turtles and on the second, numerous eels, two of these were a first for me; the Chestnut eel and the Golden chain eel. Special thanks to Gato, who corrected my wifes weight placement and to Emilio who always find the best fish! Most of all thanks to you Apple for making our dive trips wonderful. I know people are quick to criticize and are less so to complement. Thanks for making everything so problem free! See you soon!

Well, I've been home for 3 days now and find I can't concentrate because I keep re-livinggg my fantastic dive trip with Dive Paradise. Special compliments to your boat staff, they were absolutely perfect. You get exactly as much help or guidance as you want and they are so professional and friendly. Please remember me to Emilio (my Spanish isn't very good but I believe he and I may have gotten engaged on one of those great reefs) and also Eddgar (Indian Joe) for the fantastic videography. He is truly an artist and I have NEVER seen a better underwater video and I have been diving over 20 years. Keep up the good work. As a single diver I would be very comfortable diving with Dive Paradise any time and any place.

WOW! Thank you all so much far a great experience. My sister and I were in port for just one day, and this was our first dive in Cozumel, and our first drift dive! Our DM Jorge was FANTASTIC! I recommend him to anyone! He showed us a lot of wonderful animal life, large & small. He was patient with us, as we wanted to see everything. He took us through a lot of swim throughs and even took pictures of my sister and I underwater. He was extremly attentive without being obtrusive. I will go back to Dive Paradise anytime! They were wonderful! Thanks again for a memorable experience.

Celebrating New Year's in Cozumel was wonderful. This trip was my inaugural and with fears of drowning and the dark to overcome, I thought I'd never enjoy scuba diving to its fullest potential. Although I need more practice, overcoming those fears were easier as the instructors and staff were friendly, attentive, and caring in every way possible. Thanks for a great time! Especially to Enrique, Santos, Domingo, and Jorge!

Thank you for a great first experience drift diving in Cozumel. The DMs were great (special thanks to Antonio). Your crews really do know how to treat divers. When a strap pin fell out of my mask, minutes before entry, they quickly got me one of their personal extra masks. Upon reboarding the boat, my mask was fixed and ready to go for the 2nd dive.

Thank you Dive Paradise! This was our first family scuba trip, and we all had a great time and advanced our Scuba experience tremendously. Our divemaster Goyo was incredible, pointing out marine life, giving excellent diving pointers and encouragement to our two new divers in the family - and keeping it fun. We capped it off with Marcos on our first night dive, an absolutely eye-opening and FUN time. We'll be back.

We would like to thank you for making our vacation so special this year. As previously experienced in past trips to Cozumel, the staff at Dive Paradise provided us the consistent kindness and laughs as we explored the beautiful dive sites surrounding the island. Marcus and Gregory, especially, added to our continuous smiling throughout our stay. We will return, and of course we will dive with Dive Paradise! Peace and Sunshine to you and yours this new year! Cyndi and Dave

I second that Russ!! We had so many incredible experiences with our favorate Divemaster Luis. The only bad thing about the trip was that we did not get to dive on the 26th due to the port closing and we couldn't say bye to Luis!! Hopefully our family will be back in Cozumel soon. I can't tell you how much we love the island and the diving. What a blast!! Thank you!!

Had a great trip and did 16 dives between 12-20 and 12-29-2006. Harbor operations shut down for 1 day on the 26th due to white caps and choppy seas with winds. Dove with David, Jose, Julio, and my good friend and Dive Paradise's best Dive Master Giovanni!! Please have Giovanni contact me via text message at 001-619-726-2595. Thanks to Apple and all of her very professional staff and a special thanks to the Dive Masters and Boat captains that ensure our safety. (Hey Smiley!!) Feliz Navidad and Happy New Year!!
