"We had a great experience for our kids (10 and 14) first diving trip. Jose ensured kids were comfortable and took us to the nearby reefs as part of discover scuba experience. We are looking forward to coming back!"

"We just had the best short dive trip with Jose. Jose was very accommodating with our wish to dive as much as we could in our short 3 days. We even got a nice twilight shore dive in our first day in Cozumel. He kept our gear and brought it back each day cleaned and dry. We had a couple of issues underwater like my husband regulator leaking. Jose was attentive and helped us get a fast replacement. We dive all over the Caribbean and of course have dived Cozumel many times. Diving with Cozumel Abyss Divers is hands down the best dive experience we have had. Small groups and private dives. Amazing service. Top notch crew, knowledgeable, safe, intimate, amazing dives, family business. We will only dive with these guys! Thanks Jose for another amazing dive trip!"

"Fast boat and personalized experience! If you love the big slow dive boats with tons of people and gear and diesel fumes, this isn’t for you. This is a treat: join Joe at the marina for a morning departure or get a lift from the pier at your private resort, then get ready for an incredible dive on Cozumel’s reefs! Ask questions, bring a good attitude, enjoy fresh fruits (included) during your surface interval, and enjoy the service that Cozumel Abyss Divers provides. We’ve also been diving with CAD in the beautiful cenotes in Playa del Carmen, where the water is fresh and the jungle floor holds a new world of beauty to explore! If you’re interested in expanding your skills, you’ll find Joe is an exceptional teacher: enjoy my pics of this trip, where he taught me side mount diving (two tanks! More air and more diving!). Can’t wait to dive again!"
