Did my dives today with Dominic. Awesome guy and great instructor. We went to the pit and dos ojos cenotes. It was incredible. Dom knows a lot about diving and the cenotes. Afterwards we had some beers and had a good time. Would definitely recommend Dom to take you on diving tours when you are in Tulum.

Best cenote dives is well named! I enjoyed a concierge level experience with this dive charter. It helps that Domenic has a nearly flawless command of the English language. His gentle guidance to assist along the dive made this experience the highlight of my trip to Tulum.

Just returned from a week diving various cenotes around Tulum and it was without a doubt one of the best diving experiences of my life.I couldn’t have asked for a better cave/sidemount instructor than Dom. His expertise and knowledge on all dive related matters is seriously impressive. Pair that with his local knowledge and patient teaching technique, and I'd confidently recommend him to anyone, no matter their level of experience.

I dived with Dominic one year ago in three different cenotes around Akumal. What should i say? Dominic ist an outstanding person who has so much experience and knowledge that you have to book your divings in Akumal with Dominic. Thousands of dives and so interesting stuff about the Mayas and the historic origin of the cenotes makes you feel stunned pemanently. Additionally he has such a smooth and calming down aura that you just feel at the right place with the right guy. Impressive and awesome. My girlfriend snorkeled while we dived togeher and he really cares for the best experience that you can have in your vacation. Abolute recommendation!

Dominic helped heal claustrophobic and panic attacks I’ve had about wearing a suit, gear and being 16 meters under water. I almost wanted to quit but Dominic’s calm demeanour helped me take the time I needed until I was ready. Just his presence and patience, offering different solutions, step by step helped me overcome and heal severe past trauma. I fell in love with diving. I even dived in the Dos Ojos cenote, twice! I’ve been waiting years to do that! Can’t believe I did it!! Dominic is kind, knowledgeable, passionate and an absolute saint. Can’t wait for my Advanced Open Water course with him and dive in deeper and more exotic cenotes in Mexico.

We booked 2 dives in The Pit and Dos Ojos with Dom and were overwhelmed. On the way to the cenotes Dom gave us a lot of background knowledge about the history of the formation and I became more and more relaxed. It was my first dive in a cenote and Dom helped me to relax with his calm manner. He took my needs and fears into consideration at all times, giving me a sense of security so that I could enjoy the experience. We can only recommend Dom!

Wow. Best diving of my life. 3 days, 7 dives, 7 different cenotes and 7.5hrs total dive time. Hydrogen sulphide layers, haloclines, bones, artefacts and stalactites/mites aplenty. Unreal. If you can dive or want to try, you must dive the cenotes with Dom.I’m a BSAC Open Water Instructor and Dom has some of the finest instruction I’ve come across. The rare mix of incredibly professional, experienced, accommodating and friendly. I completed the sidemount and cavern course. For those who haven’t experienced sidemount, it’s a game changer and Dom is the man to guide you.Each morning we were the first divers on site which made for an incredibly personal experience. I was fortunate to have one on one instruction as Dom’s philosophy is refreshingly 100% student motivated Vs financially.The cenotes we dived were: Carwash, El Angelita, Casa, The Pit, Dos Ojos, Tajma-ha and Dreamgate. They were all amazing and even now I cannot decide on a favourite! This was, ‘annoyingly’, predicted by Dom from the offset. You just can’t pick!I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, not only for the diving and qualifications gained, but the additional knowledge Dom imparts on the history and culture of the area is fascinating. It’s the whole package.I look forward to returning soon to continue and progress onto the full cave course and sharing a few post dive beach beers again! Till then mate!

What a great experience! Dominic is so easy going, knowledgeable and is a gifted instructor. I am an advanced diver with around 90 dives and wanted to improve my skills as I only dive one or two times a year. So took the nitrox, sidemount and cavern certification-8 dives over 4 days. He chose sites to give the best instruction but is also super flexible, tailoring the experience. He takes only a few students at a time to increase safety and enjoyment of the dive. Each dive carefully mapped with clear understanding of the plan. I looked forward to listening to his extensive knowledge of cenotes geologic history, myan culture and easy to understand instruction on material covering the dives on our drives to the sites. As a single female, I felt absolutely comfortable with Dominic. As a diver, I felt like I was given the necessary instruction and time to practice skills for all of the certifications I took. I would not hesitate to book him for another dive in the cenotes. Definitely deserves all the 5 star reviews given!!! Oh, say yes to going to the beach bar after the dives, you won't regret 😉
