 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My experience of diving with Xico Dive Center was absolutely wonderful. The location, service, pricing, and quality of the instructors were all excellent. I went diving with an instructor named Santiago who explained everything very carefully while keeping the atmosphere fun with his great sense of humor. It was such a wonderful experience to have my first dives in Mexican waters with him. Thank you so much!

I had never dove before, but felt incredibly safe  and comfortable with the equipment and concepts after a few sessions with him. He is a calm, expert diver and very good at teaching beginners!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I did a recreational with Xico DC which included 2 dives with Felipe as my guide. He was calm and made me feel at ease. For some reason I was nervous but he had a relaxed way about him that set me right. The dives went great. The water had more current than what Id experienced before but Im still new & it was all good. The boat crew was very helpful and attentive. Id definitely dive with Xico DC again. The staff there are very helpful too. Update: I went on with other instructors (Santi & Morgan) to complete my Advanced Cert here adding 6 more dives and then an unforgetable cenote dive. With Xicos great staff, team of instructor's, boat crew, and location, I look forward to seeing what the center looks like after renovations have finished.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Felipe was an excellent instructor! My dad and I had only snorkeled a handful of times prior to pursuing open water scuba certification. Felipe was calm, cool, and collected - which encouraged me to be, too! I highly recommend Xico and the diving staff there. We will be back to continue learning!
