Over all the structure is really cool and near the embarcadero's place ... all you can need they have... Once in Playa make the right choice: Enjoy Pluto dive.

J'ai trouvé Pluto Dive par hasard alors que je cherchais un club pour emmener mon groupe de plongée à Playa et terminer leur certification. On a eu un service au-delà de ce que nous attendions. Tout était parfait. On a plongé en mer avec Barbara. Une plongeuse calme qui pointe à sa palanquée toutes les créatures qui croisent son chemin. La cenote a été guidée par Alberto et Momo, aussi calmes que Barbara. Pas de stress avec eux. On peut prendre le temps d'apprécier la cenote. Je crois que j'ai trouvé mon centre pour les certifications dans le sud pour mes prochaines cohortes. ---‐-------- I found Pluto Dive by chance while looking for a dive center in Playa del Carmen where I could take my group and complete their certifications. We received a level of service that went far beyond our expectations. Everything was perfect. We did our ocean dives with Barbara, a calm and attentive diver who makes sure to point out every creature she comes across to her group. Our cenote dives were guided by Alberto and Momo, who were just as calm and professional as Barbara. There was absolutely no stress with them. They give you the time and space to truly enjoy and appreciate the cenote. I think I’ve found my dive center for certifications in the south for my future groups. I’m already looking forward to coming back!
