    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!

    Felipe was an excellent open water instructor. 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!

    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.

    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!
