- Dove with Elite Divers International for a couple of days and had a wonderful time. Communication was great, Mark, our guide was super professional, 10/10 service, and the centotes were stunning! 🙌🏻Lauren Ellis8/25/2025
- 3 expériences et 3 succés ! Ce centre est vraiment super. Très grande convialité et professionnalisme. Ce qui est bien s'est que le programme peut être fait à la carte. Franchement je vous le recommande 3 experiences and 3 successes! This center is truly great. Very friendly and professional. What's great is that the program can be done by yourself I honestly recommend it.christophe buteux8/06/2025
- From booking to the end of the tour, Elite Divers International provided fast and thorough itinerary planning, and communication via WhatsApp was instant and convenient. This was our first time diving in a cenote, and our dive guide, Shawn, was professional, patient, and very friendly. He guided us carefully and helped us prepare all our gear, making sure we had a great experience. Thank you, Shawn! The equipment provided by Elite divers International was professional, new, and clean — highly recommended. We’re already looking forward to planning our next trip to Mexico to dive with Elite divers international again!Lindsey Bread7/11/2025
- I have about 30 open water dives under my belt, and cenote diving was NOTHING like what I ever knew! It is such a cool experience. The water is fully clear, I found it easier to move around, the water feels cleaner, and it's just so cool to be in a cave but underwater. This made me want to explore more cavern diving. Elite Divers was very professional and I felt in great hands. Their equipment was excellent (the only caveat is that my brother was given a women's wetsuit so it was killing his blood circulation, he had to change to a different wetsuit for the second dive). The BCD they use is a different type than the one I've always used and it was very comfortable. They offered lots of advice about which cenotes to dive and were very accommodating. Mark, our guide, was very friendly and made the entire experience great.Dean Attali7/09/2025
- Diving in the cenotes of Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula is a surreal and unforgettable experience. Elite divers helped make it happen. Over the past few days I had multiple dives, in the cenotes and a couple of days in the Ocean, Mark and Shawn were professional , safe and had amazing guides with excellent knowledge and tips. Ana helped arrange everything and was pretty flexible with slight change of plans in the process. I would highly recommend them for diving in Playa dna surrounding areas Thank you for a great team ( photo with Shawn, didn’t get one with Mark, which means I have to come back 😉)Raniah Khairy7/04/2025
- I cannot recommend Elite Divers International (EDI) highly enough. They are, without question, one of the best dive operators I’ve ever had the pleasure of diving with. I booked a three-day underwater photography workshop in the cenotes, and the entire experience was flawless from start to finish.Arthur served as my guide and Shawn as my underwater photography instructor. Their expertise and preparation were evident in every detail. Shawn actually had a full phone call with me weeks prior to my actual dive days to go over my underwater photography experience and inquire about what kind of shots I wanted. He then tailored every single dive, including the timing with the sun/light rays and cloud coverage, to give me the best shots. On site, each shot—lighting, diver positioning, camera angle—was meticulously planned and executed. For my workshop, both Arthur and Shawn also modeled for my photos, maintaining impeccable trim and buoyancy that made every image look stunning, often before I even realized why. And I even got amazing photos of myself as a bonus!Moreover, we had each cenote entirely to ourselves for every dive. EDI’s rapport with other local operators is unmatched—others were happy to delay their schedules so we could conduct our workshop uninterrupted. That kind of respect doesn’t happen by accident; it’s earned through years of professionalism and excellence.Safety was always the top priority, and communication throughout the experience was seamless. Every detail was handled with care, and I felt completely supported and at ease throughout the trip.Truthfully, EDI has ruined me for future cenote dives (maybe all photo-centric dives)—my expectations have been set so high, I don’t know if anyone else could match them. Again, I cannot recommend them enough.Serena Zheng5/31/2025
- Immer wieder ein Erlebnis mit EDI zu tauchen habe dieses Jahr erstmal einen Refresh Kurs bei Mark gemacht der im übrigens ein super Instructor ist ein kleines Set up von meinem Sidemount Wing war auch noch dabei VIELEN DANK DAFÜR. Danach gab es noch 6 Tage Cenoten Tauchgänge mit verschiedenen Guides , die wieder ein Mega Erlebnis waren ob hell und offen oder dunkel das es aussieht als wäre man in einer geschlossenen Höhle.Es gibt immer ein rundum sorglos Paket angefangen vom Abholen über ein super leckeres Mittagessen bis zur sicheren Aufbewahrung deines Equipment. Auch wenn du Hilfe bei der Suche von Hotel oder Apartment brauchst stehen Sie dir gerne zur Seite. Den super Flughafen Transfer will ich jedoch nicht vergessen.Es warten, neues hochwertiges Leihequipment und Guides/Instuctor die ihren Job lieben, auf dich. Danke Shawn für die FotosViel Spaß und einmalige Erinnerung wünsche ich euchViele liebe Grüße aus MünchenSarah B.5/16/2025
