I had a wonderful experience diving with Pluto Dive! The owners Barbara and Alberto are very professional, and I immediately felt comfortable with them. Barbara took me on the dive,... read more she is uber experienced and qualified and it shows! She was so patient and ready to answer any questions I had. All the gear was clean and in perfect condition. The dive itself was really fun too, Barbara was quick to show me different species of eels and crabs etc.. and bonus at the end a beautiful green sea turtle! I will definitely go back for more dives with Pluto Dive! =) Another thing was that they care for the street cats in the area. It was so sweet to see Garfield there being so well taken care of after he had to have a surgery. They pay everything out of pocket, food, supplies, vets etc, and it can really add up, so if you ever dive with them, don't hesitate to make a little donation, or buy some cat food etc.. a little goes a long way! I love the kitties.. and no, they did not ask me to write this here.. =D I can't wait for my next dive with them! Thanks Pluto Dive!

14 September 2025UPdate!! Pluto Dive holds a special place in my heart—it's where my love for diving began with my first open water certification. I returned to complete my Rescue Diver course, and... read more it was just as amazing as I remembered. The instructors are phenomenal; they are patient, professional, and make the training challenging yet incredibly fun. The course itself was so well-structured, and I left feeling confident and prepared. If you're looking for a top-notch dive shop in Playa del Carmen, for any level of certification, Pluto Dive is the one. I will be back for my DIVE MASTER! :) My diving adventure started right here, fueled by curiosity. Thanks to Barbara's incredible support, I not only embraced the sport but fell head over heels for it. Learning the technical intricacies of diving was a thrilling experience, all while being surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of the ocean. Barbara's seasoned guidance was the cornerstone of my journey, helping me conquer initial apprehensions and emerge as a self-assured, certified diver. I couldn't be more grateful for this transformative experience! Grazie Mille!

7 August 2025Pluto Dive in Playa del Carmen ist eine kleine Tauchschule, welche von einem Pärchen mit italienischen Wurzeln geführt wird. Wir waren die einzigen Kunden zu dieser Zeit und hatten eine... read more sehr individuelle Betreuung. Wie die Tauchschule mit vielen Tauchern gleichzeitig umgeht, weiß ich nicht, da sie eben räumlich sehr klein ist. Die Tauchschule arbeitet auch mit freiberuflichen Tauchlehrern- und -guides zussammen und mietet sich sozusagen auf die Schnellboote nach Cozumel ein. Ein wenig ungewöhnlich war, dass wir eine Anzahlung leisten mussten. Ich kenne es eher so, dass man alles vor Ort begleicht, aber vermutlich will man sich ob der externen Guides etwas absichern. Vorteil ist, man kann auch in Euro dabei zahlen. Wir hatten ein paar unvergessliche Tauchgänge sowohl in den Cenoten sowie in den Tauchgebieten um Cozumel. Sollte man die "Dreamgate" Cenote betauchen sollte man unbedingt etwas gegen die Moskitos dabei haben. Es war echt schlimm bei dem Tauchplatz diesbezüglich. Bei Pluto Dive kriegt man eventuell die Leihausrüstung inklusive, wenn man mehrere Tauchgänge bucht (bei uns war es so) und sie ist mit Sicherheit eine der günstigeren Tauchschulen in Playe del Carmen.

21 June 2025Kleine, aber sehr gute Tauchschule! Ich habe mich zwischen verschiedenen Tauchschulen und PDC für Pluto entschieden und es keineswegs bereut. Bei der Anfrage gab es per WhatsApp immer schnelle Antworten. Das Equipment... read more macht einen guten und gepflegten Eindruck und auch bei der Ausbildung wird auf Details und Sicherheit geachtet. Einziges auf das man bei der Anfrage bei Kursen achten sollte, ist mit welcher Association man diese macht. Die Tauchschule arbeitet mit mehreren zusammen. Alles in allem kann ich die Tauchschule und meinen Instructor Momo nur empfehlen.

16 April 2025My 2 friends and I wanted to do some Scuba Diving in Playa Del Carmen this past February. I reached out to Pluto Dive as I've used them in the... read more past and found them to be wonderful.Communicating with Pluto Dive is very easy.They are very timely with their responses and they addressed all of my concerns. I have not dove in 2 years and my one friend was recently certified.I also noted that I have had a difficult time with equalizing, especially with my right ear. The people at Pluto Dive are extremely nice and extremely patient.We did not have any scuba gear and it was not a problem getting outfitted as they have a good supply of scuba gear. Their equipment is well maintained and they were extremely helpful in fulfilling our needs. Also, and importantly, from the first contact with Pluto Dive it is easy to see that safety is their #1 concern. As for diving with Pluto, I have been fortunate to dive in many spots in the world and I have never had a better dive master than Barbara! She was more than patient in making sure that I was able to equalize and get to the bottom. She did this all the while with paying attention to my 2 dive buddies. Barbara displays a love for the ocean and a calmness that is contagious. Simply put, there could NOT be a better dive shop in Playa Del Carmen. If it's small group diving with high level gear, safety as the top concern and excellent guidance Pluto Dive is the shop for you.

One of the best experiences of diving in Mexico with Pluto Dive.. Spent 6 days diving the Cenotes with Momo as our guide. A Very knowledgeable cave certified diver.... read more He knew all the Cenotes and put safety first with only 4 or less in a group at a very casual pace so to enjoy the surroundings. Momo explained every cenote prior to the dive so we knew what to expect. Every Cenote was different and beautiful. Lunch was different sandwich everyday and very hardy & tasty. Upon return to the dive shop, Barbara hung our suits up to dry and ready for the next day's dive. Could not ask for or expect any better experience. Prior to booking, Barbara answered all our questions timely and we knew exactly what to expect upon arrival. Look forward to coming back.
