“The entire dive from beginning to end was absolutely amazing! There were only 4 divers so the group was smaller and more intimate. Our guide was out of this world! He was full of information not just about the dive but the history of the Cenote’s and explained the scientific history of what we were seeing. He made sure to make all the right stops along the way pausing at places so we could simply take in the beauty of the light refractions. Cannot say enough good things!!! When I come back to Mexico I will for sure being coming back to dive them again!!!!”

“We loved the idea of a small group in a van which enabled us to travel up to the top with the cross and chapel with incredible views. Malu was the guide and incooperated sights from the local market driven to the wealthy areas. Considering the limitation of four hours to visit Acapulco, I would recommend this small groups tour picked up just outside the ship”
