Scuba Playa

Set on the second largest barrier reef in the world, Scuba Playa brings more than 15 years of diving experience to Playa del Carmen, Mexico. This PADI 5 Star IDC Resort pairs reef and cavern adventures with a team of five PADI Instructors, each with over 3,000 dives logged — a crew built around a simple aim of safety, quality and fun.

Courses and dive sites

Beyond the reef lies the real signature of this dive centre: the Mayan Cenotes. Diving these cave systems means unlimited visibility and the incredible sensation of flying between stalactites and stalagmites. Guided cenote outings run to different locations, while two-tank dives around Playa del Carmen are offered morning and afternoon.

With 13 courses and activities on the books, Scuba Playa suits everyone from first-timers to certified divers. Newcomers can try Discover Scuba Diving or the Open Water Diver Certification Course, while the Advanced Open Water Diver Certification Course takes experienced divers further. An onsite classroom, air conditioning, a dive boat, equipment rental and staff speaking five languages round out the experience.
