Thanks for a great week of diving ! While all of the Dive Masters and Boat Captains were great, I want to give special thanks to Captain Juan and Dive Master Victor for helping me get over my fear of rolling back into the water from the edge of a small boat. Only fast boats for me from now on !

My friends and I finished our 7 day vacation to Cozumel, diving 11 times with Dive Paradise. Additionally, I completed the Advanced Open Water course with Alfonso as my instructor. All 3 of us had an incredible time and enjoyed a varied, colorful week of diving with expert instruction and dive masters. The only down side was that we couldn't stay another week! Thanks for all the hard work and we'll see you again next year.

We just returned from an 8 day trip and dove with Paradise. What an excellent dive operation. I've been diving with Paradise (and staying at the Barracuda) for years but this was Janet's first trip. She was truly impressed with the dive operation and the Barracuda. For me I expected the best and that's just what I got. These people really like people and enjoy what they are doing! What a concept!

Thanks Dive paradise for 4 days of great diving. We arrived on Saturday 9 January, and were unable to dive until Tuesday, 12 January due to the weather. We managed to make three dives a day and they were GREAT !! Plenty of room on the dive boats even with 20 divers on board. Knowledgeable staff and crew aboard each boat we dove from. Thanks again for a great diving vacation ! Michael & Barbara Coleman

Many thanks to Ramone, Rafael and Raul for such an awesome memorable diving experience at Dive Paradise week of January 4, 2010. Very knowledgeable and fun staff. My friend Debbie and me plan to return soon for some more dives. Be sure to see Rafael and have him draw one his famous Scubatoons of you - he transformed me into a mermaid!
12/17/2009 Nancy & Kyle Elk River, Minnesota 
Everyone we came in contact with was great. Carlos worked with Kyle to get his certification dives done. The one on one instruction was perfect.Goto was wonderful as our primary divemaster. I will definetely use your organization on my next trip to Cozumel. thanks to all for making it a great dive trip.

Thanks for a great dive experience. We had a newly certified diver and another who had not been in the ocean either and myself, who had not dove in 5 years. We all had a safe, exilerating trip and our DM was so patient and friendly. Will definately recommend DP and will return again. Thank you!

Apple and Victor, We had a blast this past week diving with your Company and team. A special thank you to Victor for making this dive experience very memorable. I appreciated all he did to get me finally boyant and getting better control of my air supply. Thanks again and we hope to be back soon to see you. Doug
11/25/2009 Dave and Family Stillwater, Minnesota 
Three cheers for the entire Dive Paradise team! Apple and her inspired team made our first serious dive vacation an incredible experience. My oldest son, my brother and two brother-in-laws joined me on a private boat with Victor as our outstanding dive master. He's part entertainer, an ardent safety chief and, much to our delight, a wonderful teacher! We expected to have fun - we didn't necessarily expect to be taught so much about scuba diving safety, philosophies and techniques. Once we made listening to Victor a priority, our satisfaction grew exponentially....we highly recommend him! Thanks Apple, Victor and everyone at Dive Paradise. You're number one with us!
11/23/2009 Dean & Sandi Ferguson Nampa, Idaho 
This was our 1st dive trip to Cozumel and will not be our last. You have a class act, and the dive master are fantastic. Goto was the best we had him all week. my wife just certified in August and he took her by the hand the 1st 2 dives, she loved it. we are already planning our next trip back and of course it will be with dive paradise. thanks again for a great time.
11/20/2009 Ed and Deb Fisher Atlantic Beach New York 
We dove with DP November 1st through Nov 5th. Miguel (our group DM) and all the other DM's and crew on the Atlantis couldnt have been any more helpful or professional. The dives were well led and when the time was right, they joined in on our fun and hijinx. We would definitely dive with DP again.
11/19/2009 Butch Gast Littleton, Colorado 
Returning divers for third time and pleased as always with Dive Paradise and Victor our dive master. Another diver had a problem and the sititation was addressed and very professionally thaken care of by Victor and everyone on the boat. I highly recommend Dive Paradise and will continue to return for additional dives.
10/6/2009 Stacey Spring, TX 
Had a wonderful time, the staff helped make my boyfriends 50th b-day one to remember. They went above and beyond to honor all my request. Once again I never reqret going back to Dive Paradise. Thanks guys!
10/5/2009 Davicito Houston Texas USA 
Had an awesome time and hope to dive with these guys real soon!!!
09/30/2009 Ginny Savaloja Crosby, MN , USA 
Great diving and dive masters as usual. Giovanni is always fun! It was great for us to have fewer divers out there. We will be back in the spring, and definitely will come back in the fall again as well!
09/28/2009 Neel Joshi Redondo Beach, California 
3rd time to Cozumel in 2 1/2 yrs and with Dive Paradise. Said it before and say it again, dive with them once and you are family. The DM's go above and beyond to take care of the divers. Marcos by far is one of the best DM'S and Alfonso who now is the GM for the operation is detail oriented. Apple, thank you for maintaining the class and quality at Dive Paradise.
09/13/2009 Rex Koenig & Nick Overbey Sidney Ohio 
WOW!!!!! Another great week of diving with DP.We saw so many things it would take 3 pages to tell you everything. We had a GREAT night on Tuesday. As always the Dive Masters were GREAT. A special THANK YOU to Dive Master Miguel for the night dive and setting it up. I always feel like family when I dive with you. See you in December. Rex
08/23/2009 Larry, Crystal and Aric Florence, Oregon USA 
Our first trip to Cozumel and we had a great time with Dive Paradise. We enjoyed many wonderful dives with Omar our dive master. He did great pre-dive briefings, knew how to find the interesting sea animals and had great knowledge of each of the fantastic swimthroughs. You can take a fast boat or a more leisurely boat to many wonderful dive sites. "Apple" is the owner/manager and she is always interested in making sure your dive vacation is perfect. She stepped up and fixed a very minor wrinkle for us and made the week absolutely perfect for us. Dive Paradise is conveniently located all around Cozumel, and particularly so at the Hotel Cozumel where we stayed. Thanks for a great week of vacation and scuba diving! Larry, Crystal and Aric Farnsworth
08/22/2009 Cheri Zephyrhills, FL USA 
Thank you for another wonderful week of diving. A special thank you to the divemasters and captains who helped me on and off the boat. Apple you are doing a wonderful job with the disabled or just plain older diver. Keep up the good work. We baby boomers are getting up their and need the extra attention.
08/19/2009 Wheeler's Dallas, Texas 
Another great Scuba vacation thanks to Dive Paradise. We hired Divemaster Migul Yam as a dive buddy for our newly certified 10 year old son. He is great with kids. Told him how the dive would go. He found lots of cool things to look at and for us to photograph. Helped him with his gear after the dive. We will hire him again next year!
08/12/2009 Courtney Melton Bentonia, MS 
I stayed at Hotel Cozumel and Resort during the last month of July. Everyone I encountered during my stay was helpful and courteous. Go see Jamie at the hotel. He is a great dancing waiter. Julio Kin is without a doubt the best DiveMaster I have ever had the pleasure of diving with. He was personable, kind, reliable, and knowledgeable about the reef. I can't wait to return to Cozumel and dive with Julio again. My trip overall was a great success and a needed rest before the busy school year began.
08/9/2009 Julie Kugelmann  
We recently returned from a trip to Cozumel. We stayed at Hotel Cozumel July 18 through July 25. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Omar was an excellent Divemaster. He was very patient with the new divers that were in our group. He told us exactly what to expect before each dive. The sailors on our boat were very attentive - from setting up our gear to helping us back in the boat after our beautiful dives. We had Rafael draw his Scubatoons of our family. This will be a treasure for years to come. This is our second trip to Cozumel and I can't wait to return!
08/8/2009 Rob Shelley Skookumchuck, B.C. Canada 
July 17 to 31st. Stayed at Coral Reef Inn, which was great. Two great weeks diving, Julio, Victor Omar and all the other DMs were great.Will be back, ( This was my 4th trip) The office staff , dive shop and boat crews could not have been more helpful.Recommended to anyone, especially to anyone who has not been to Coz. before.
08/5/2009 Kaiti Kugelmann Jacksonville, Florida 
Diving in Cozumel was AMAZING! My family dove with you guys for 5 days and Omar was our divemaster for most of the dives and he is such a great divemaster(he's very good at finding turtles by the way)! I absoluetly cannot wait to come back for more!!
08/4/2009 Thomas Seitz Palestine, TX 
From March 13-19th, 2009, Corri, Mark, their 2 children, Greta and I made a trip to Cozumel and stayed at Hotel Cozumel Resort. It was Mark and Corri's first time to Cozumel. The kids had a great time and Corri and I had some fantastic dives. Eventhough the current was ripping and made it hard to photograph, Corri and I were able to see alot of sea life. I have always used Dive Paradise and would recommend them to anyone. We are hoping to get back to Cozumel in March 2010 and plan to do 5 days of diving with Dive Paradise. Thanks so much to Jaime and PePe for a great time, a watchful eye, and very safe dive trips.
08/3/2009 Howard & Ginger Toronto, Canada 
Another fantastic trip to Coz, Apple you and your crew are the best. Jose Chale was our DM, he is one of the best out there. 7 years now with DP and counting. Whom ever is thinking of going to Coz and has not gone with DP. What are you waiting for. We go at least 3 times per year. The visibility and drift diving is hard to beat. There are now Lion fish in Coz. Until next time.
07/31/2009 Sanders Family Houston, Texas 
We had a blast. Dove the Devil's Throat with Nacho (Divemaster). He was very good at finding things to look at. He was very personable. We would dive again with Dive Paradise any day.
07/30/2009 Chanda & Patrick Herter Frisco, Texas 
Yet another wonderful seven days diving with Dive Paradise. A BIG thank you to our DM, Jaime. Jaime was a safe and efficient DM, who still was able to show us marine life. Dive Paradise's staff is very helpful and assisted us in determining our dive trips. Thanks, Apple, Dive Paradise is first class all the way.
07/3/2009 Anna Little Lakewood, Colorado 
Antoher wonderful week in Cozumel and diving wtih DP. I missed diving with Santos, but did get a chance to dive with Gato. Thanks to all of Apple's staff for making this another great time in Paradise!
07/1/2009 Conrad & Cecilia Rucker Conyers, Georgia 
Thanks Apple and everyone at DiveParadise. Another awesome trip....It was the first time for some of our group, and because of the work of Santos and Emilio, they loved it. See you again in September for a long weekend.
06/26/2009 Robert & Brian A. Boring, Oregon 
Our first trip to Cozumel. Had a wonderful time diving with Dive Paradise and staying at Hotel Barracuda. Instead of staying at resort with all inclusive meals, saved money and had more fun eating around town. We did not go on the "fast boats". They don't have a roof or restroom. We also enjoyed meeting other people on the larger boats.
06/15/2009 Fritz & Mike Range North Texas, USA 
We had a great time and were very pleased with Dive Paradise's operation. Our only comment was there needs to be a better selection on the soft drinks. We asked for Diet. However, we were not there to drink sodas. The driving was great and Miguel is a very good dive master. Looking forward to our next trip. We stayed in the Coral Reef Inn which was a great place (you have to walk about 10 minutes to get to the Hotel Barracuda to get the boat.) We really saw a lot of sea life!
06/14/2009 Tamara  
Just wanted to let you know what a great experience we had. All the staff was wonderful, from the dive shop to the boat captains. Special thanks to Gato, Julio, Omar, Shaggy, and Abraham. You all went out of your way to be fun and to make our trip enjoyable. Gato, Julio and Omar were excellent at finding marine creatures and pointing them out. Thanks for making Chelsea and Emily's first dives in the ocean so memorable. We will definitely be back. The Hales Family
06/9/2009 Vicky & Gary Norman Yukon, Okla 
We love the island, it is the best place in the world to spend your birthday and I had a great birthday, thank you. Lady Apple you have such a great staff. They work very hard and are very good at their jobs we are very grateful for another great time in Cozumel with wonderful friends and the best diving ever. We will see you the end of July to swim with the Whale Sharks can not wait.
06/4/2009 Mike B. Albany, OR USA 
My first trip to Cozumel is one I'll never forget. Six straight days of GREAT diving with Dive Paradise are the best this "cold" water diver has ever had. The boat...Tango...and divemasters, Emilio and Gato were all first rate. Sharks, turtles, octos, toadfish, rays, seahorses...the list just goes on and on. Thanks for the great diving. I'll be back to dive with Dive Paradise again...and soon.
05/30/2009 Rick C Ft. Collins, CO 
This was my first trip with Dive Paradise, and they were great, All nice people and a great two tank dive with Dive Master Santos, who made it especially enjoyable with a guided dive. Highly recommended, and Thanks for the great dives!
05/28/2009 JOYCE AND KEN MCINTOSH KELOWNA, B.C. CANADA 
HAD A GREAT AND FUN TIME AND GREAT DIVING WITH DIVE PARADISE. THE STAFF THE BOATS THE DIVE MASTERS ALL GREAT. WE LOVE DIVING IN COZUMEL. EVERY YEAR WE TAKE OUR HOLIDAY AND COZUMEL IS ALWAYS OUR PICK AND WE NEVER USE ANY ONE ELSE BUT DIVE PARADISE. ALWAYS THANKS FOR A GREAT HOLIDAY SEE YOU IN 2010.
05/18/2009 Christine Knowles Troy, NY 
Leaving tomorrow after a wonderful week in Cozumel. Many thanks to Lucy for her help with everything from chosing my dives to learning about the island. I had a refresher course with Carlos (The best Instructor anywhere!) and then had him accompany me on two more dives. With his help and patience, I brushed off the cobbwebs and renewed my love for diving. Dive Paradise is tops!
05/13/2009 Tom and Karla Gebbie Dayton, Ohio 
As always, Dive Paradise made our vacation unforgetable. We just returned from our 3rd great Cozumel dive trip in the last year and have already purchased Airfare to return Nov 9th. The staff was great but special thanks for Angel for helping work around Karla's headcold to accommdate her diving. All our divemasters were outstanding in their experience and safety mindedness. We also appreciated Giovanny's lesson of "How a Marriage is like a Hurricane". We love Cozumel and we miss all our Dive Paradise amigos. Nos vemos todos en Noviembre
05/7/2009 Brian A & Kim R Alexandria, MN USA 
We are home from a fabulous trip of diving in Cozumel! The Dive Paradis staff went out of their way to ensure our safety and fun! Thanks Rafael for the awesome "scubatoons". We love it! Hello to all of our new friends!
05/5/2009 Donna & Tom Christensen Knoxville, TN USA 
A Big Thanks once again for the great service. From Rafael getting us signed in to our Dive Master Jose (who I fondly call Yoda), Shaggy, the Captain and everyone else on the Sagitario. We had 3 1/2 days of wonderful diving.
05/3/2009 Thom n Tammy Launders Chandler, AZ
Cozumel is great and EMPTY. Our first dives today great! No cruise ships. The town is empty and so are the hotels. We did not worry about the flu and nobody else should either. Diving is great and that is why we are here. The island is STILL wonderful. Don't let the newspaper and television stations scare you away. They are just selling papers and bad news. Come on down and enjoy!
04/30/2009 Scuba Steve Seattle, WA 
This was my first dive trip with Dive Paradise. I was part of Dian's 10th Anniversary trip and I must say it was such an amazing experience. The diving was superb and the divemaster's were top notch.
04/27/2009 David King Seattle Wa. 
Just got in last night from my 9 th trip to Cozumel and diving with Dive Paradise with Diane's 10 th Anniversary Tour and as before had a wonderful time.Our DM for the week were Gato and Jorge, did a excellant job as did the sailor and el capitan.Apple, you and your staff are the greatest TX David King

04/25/2009 Zach Glover & Karin Kaaen McCall, ID USA 
Just got back from a week in Cozumel diving with Dive Paradise. We couldn't have wished for a better experience. The staff at Dive Paradise was very professional and made everything as easy as possible. Great dives with great people. We will be back to dive with you again. Thanks!!!
04/21/2009 Holly Haubold Fort Collins, Co 
We just got home after a wonderful week in Cozumel. Carlee and I were lucky enough to have the most patient instructor alive right by our side. Thank you to Alfonso, you are truly a master of people as well as diving! Without you I'n not sure I would have made it! You're the best. Thanks to Ramon and Martin, our wonderful boat divemasters as well. You made our open waters the best! I can't wait to start planning our next dives with Dive Paradise!
04/20/2009 Fred and Tami Heimrod Arlington, NE 
My wife son and I just returned from another great dive trip to Cozumel(our 23rd trip). We have been diving with Dive Paradise for many years now having found them by a referral from freinds. This trip we used a service we haven't used before. My son took instruction for his open water certification and received his temporary card. He now has 16 dives on Cozumel! He enjoyed the classes and Instructor, (Carlos), very much. Once on the boats he immediately took to the water like a fish. Dive Paradise did a great job training our son to be a safe diver. We dove with Emilio almost everyday. What a great guy and divemaster! Thanks also to Apple, Santos, Miguel Sergio, and Jorge. We had so many requests and we were never disappointed. I highly reccomend Dive Paradise for Diving and now Instruction. Not only to they do a great job you'll have alot of fun too!
04/19/2009 Sharon Bruscher Aurora, Co 
We have used Dive Paradise for many years now and have always been pleased with their service. We were recently on a dive when an older lady joined our group. Santos was her dive master. Victor was also a dive master on the boat that day. We were all very impressed with Santos and Victor. They were both very helpful to the lady and were very gentle getting her safely on and off the boat. Both dive masters are to be commended.
04/8/2009 Carrie Sigman Denver, CO 
Dive Paradise came highly recommended by A-1 Scuba and I am so grateful my family took their advice. My family (1 adult and 3 teenagers)got their open water certification in Cozumel with dive master, Alfonso Alacantara. I can't say enough about the care and professionalism he gave my family in making them feel safe and comfortable in the water. Their boat dive was also a great experience with dive master, Jorge. We will certainly use Dive Paradise again and will recommend them to anyone we know planning a trip to Cozumel.
04/8/2009 Barbara & Jeff Pierce Benton City, WA 
After many visits to Cozumel, we keep coming back to Dive Paradise for their excellent, friendly service. Our dive masters were, as usual, knowledgeable and friendly. Jorge 'the shark' was especially impressive on a rescue of a diver from another outfit. Great to see Gato, Goyo, Victor and all the rest. It's like visiting family when we return to Dive Paradise... and we will.
04/7/2009 Tim and Tara Benson Bellingham, WA 
We just spent a week and a half at Hotel Cozumel diving with Dive Paradise. The boats were great, the boat captains and hands were great and the dive masters were great. Can't give enough praises for Jorge (both of them), Santos, Julio, Cholle (I wish I could remember all their names). Why not post some staff info. Thanks again. We will be back and will recommend you to all our dive buddies.
03/31/2009 Kathi Smith Wilton, ME USA 
Mainely Scuba thanks dive paradise for yet another amazingly fun trip! This is my 3rd trip, our groups 4 or 5th to Cozumel diving with Dive Paradise. These guys know diving! Special thanks to our Dive Masters: Martin, Abraham, and Shaggy who made the experience rememberable, and fun. They were helpful, professional and thoughtful. Thanks for the birthday cake, no really...! We all can't wait to return. Keep up the great work!
03/26/2009 Lori Sell Perrysburg, OH 
Just wanted to give a big thank you to Dive Paradise. What a great experience. We were in Cozumel just for the day on a cruise ship and we set this dive up beforehand. I will definitely recommend Dive Paradise to others who will be traveling to Cozumel. I liked the number of people we had on our dive, I felt like the dive master could really take care of all of us. He was very patient and helpful. Thanks again, if we are ever in Cozumel again, we will dive with you.
03/12/2009 Dede, Tiffany & Kay Minnesota, USA 
I have dove with Dive Paradise 4 times and am a certified diver. It was my sister's first time. We were only in Cozumel for 5 days and my sister was able to get a class and a scuba lesson as well as 2 afternoon boat dives on shallow reefs (Villablanca Wall and Paradise). Wonderful once in a lifetime experience for them! They had Jose as their dive master. He was awesome, very safe, fun, and let them have some "on their own time" in the water, too. Oh my gosh... if you're wanting to dive and are worried about the risks; YOU ARE IN EXCELLENT HANDS! Do it! Thanks again, Jose! - Dede
03/11/2009 Terri Lumberton NC 
We were in Cozumel 2/28-3/7 and went diving the entire time. The staff was extrememly helpful and always nice. Julio was our dive master for most of the trips and he was absolutely wonderful. He was always looking out for things to see and you could tell he was excited about finding sealife for us. He made me feel extremely comfortable. This was our first ocean diving experience and we could not have wished for anyone better! Definitely did not want to come back to the States.
03/10/2009 Butch & AnnaMaria Gast Denver, Colorado 
We are return divers with Dive Paradise. They make the beginner and advanced divers feel welcome. The dive masters are very aware of all of the divers in the group and I notice how they stay aware of what the newer divers are doing. The staff is helpful to make everyone feel like they are family. When conditions are favorable for diving they find a way to make up any dives that may of been missed. We are not divers that enjoy returning to the same location for diving but will continue to use Dive Paradise for many years to come.
03/1/2009 Rex Koenig Sidney,Ohio USA
My first time staying in Cozumel and diving there.Dive Paradise and their Divemasters were the best I have ever dove with. Helpfull and friendly made you feel like family not customers.Can't wait to come back this December. THANKS for a great Dive trip.
01/12/2009 Steve Coleman West Des Moines, Iowa 
2 days ago I was basking in the sun on a fast boat on my way to Columbia Deep with my daughter. Today I have cleared the snow from my drive twice already with more on the way. I really miss Cozumel!! We have been using Dive Paradise since 2000 and would not consider any other dive shop on the island. DP is always accomodating and on this trip, a friend of mine decided to make the trip 2 days before we left, DP made sure Ben was on the fast boats with us. Jim at DP was great to work with and promptly returned e-mails when I was booking this trip. Miguel at the Hotel Cozumel Dive Shop was always friendly and very helpful. Our divemaster Martin was outstanding in his knowledge of diving and the reefs (and also a great guy). I will be requesting Martin to lead us on our adventures during our next trip and without question, will again be booking with Dive Paradise.
