I had an awesome visit on July 11, 2026. On thing I loved about this company before even getting there … More was the communication on WhatsApp. It was clear , efficient, and quick!!! This is sometimes difficult for dive companies, as they are busy diving !!!! So, I think this speaks volumes to their professionalism. I only had one day to dive and they took us to Chac mool to do two dives. It was STUNNING. I love diving reefs but there is something quite whimsical about a dive master helping you and your dive buddy float through millions of years of history. Seeing the halocline, feeling the halocline, it’s unreal. It was quiet and peaceful unlike large dive groups can be on the reefs. I have about 50 ish dives logged , so I’m not the most experienced. However, I felt completely safe and at ease with Liz. She did a proper weight check and even offered an extra mask for my partner to borrow since his was fogging up. The other dive master went the extra mile and even treated my partner’s mask while we dove so it would be ready for the next trip. After the first dive, Liz and the other dive master offered tips that really helped manage the changes in buoyancy. I still have a lot to learn , but it’s great that I could learn and grow a tad while also enjoying the most magical place !!! Thanks guys !!!
Highlights:
- great communication
- whimsical location , very unique, unreal
- knowledgeable, kind, and professional staff
NOTE: *not associated with Jaguar Divers*:
You can’t bring a GoPro or a camera. If you want pictures, you can buy them from Ivan (60 USD for 1 diver, 100 USD for 2 divers) However, I could not get the shots Ivan got of my partner and I… not with the constant buoyancy changes, my GoPro4, or my skillset. I recommend having him send you a dropbox link on whatsapp since his email
sometimes get blocked as spam. -

Liz, I don’t know how you manage to respond to messages so quickly every single time, but it truly reflects … More your professionalism, dedication, and commitment to your work. I had many questions before my dives, and Liz answered every one of them patiently and thoroughly.
I did two cenote cavern dives with Nico, and he was an awesome guide—highly professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely friendly.
I have more than 200 logged dives and am an SSI Divemaster Pro ID: 108702, so I really appreciate diving with people who pay close attention to every detail. Nico not only has excellent knowledge of cave and cavern diving, but he is also constantly aware of everything happening underwater and keeps a close eye on every diver in his group, making the dives feel both safe and enjoyable.
I highly recommend this team for open-water cenote dives, cavern dives, and cave dives. I had an excellent experience with them from start to finish, and I would gladly dive with them again. -

I booked my trip a little last minute and Liz was incredibly accommodating with helping me how she could. … More
I went ocean diving and had my first cenote dive with Michael. Everything was amazing, and Micheal knew so much about how the centotes were formed, about the fish and the animals above. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. After not diving for 15 years this was a dream come true…
I can’t wait to come again and bring my daughter when she’s old enough. -

Last weekend, we completed the PADI Deep Diver specialty course with Jaguar Divers, which included four … More 100-130 ft deep dives in the incredible Cenote Yaakun. From our very first inquiry into the dive shop, right through to course scheduling, classroom session and the dives themselves, the whole team was professional, organized and a pleasure to deal with.
The cenote itself is magical with ancient stalactites and stalagmites, hauntingly beautiful sunken trees, and a surreal hydrogen sulfide cloud at around 75 feet that has to be seen to be believed.
Our instructor Luis was outstanding, incredibly knowledgeable, funny, and a brilliant teacher. His buoyancy control in the water was the most masterful any of us had ever seen, so cool to see. We can't wait to go back!
