My husband and I have used Buena Ventura two separate times while vacationing in Cozumel. Both times were excellent. The booking process was great! Heidi was very helpful in ironing out all the details and answering any questions. Finding the crew at the marina was a breeze. This company stands out because it is a smaller operation than the standard... More

We went on cruise with a multi family group of 15. 3 adults and 7 kids ranging in age from 12-18 decided to try intro to scuba, with the other 5 electing to snorkel. I contacted Heidi, she asked some questions about our group and said she'd get back to me. even though this was during a busy season, and... More

JUST READ ALL THE GREAT REVIEWS! I always feel like I am a gazillionaire and am on the most exclusive dive experience available. We are so lucky Ventura was recommended to us. We started diving Cozumel 2000. We have been to many Caribbean dive destinations and have experienced many different dive operations. Cozumel is easy from Denver so after 5... More

We have been diving with Ventura since 2002. His dive operation is simply the best. Small groups, personal attention, wonderful staff who are very knowledgeable, dependable, and safe. There are many, many dive operations in Cozumel - and I am sure that they are competent, but I am also sure that if you dive with Buena Ventura - you will... More

Buena Ventura Diving lined up such a wonderful dive master for my open water dive certification. Mario's pleasant and calming attitude was all it took to get me hooked on diving. Heidi was very attentive with taking care of our reservations, she was willing to provide all gear but I ended up renting BCD, regulator, and computer at the dive... More

Last minute reservation made online before leaving for Cozumel on cruise ship. Heidi was perfectly accommodating and prompt with her replies online. 5 minute cab ride ($12) from pier to boat and Victor was waiting as promised. Had my own divemaster (Edgar) who was patient and watched after me perfectly. I hadn't been diving in several years but it all... More

My friend and I, both experienced and past Cozumel divers, chose Buena Ventura over other dive outfits based on the excellent TA reviews. We were not disappointed in the service, nor the dive experience. We arrived and found we were the only two divers that morning, which happily resulted in a private dive with crew members Jorge and Victor. We... More

We are a family with one scuba diver and three snorkelers. Buena Ventura made our one afternoon on Cozumel a very special experience. Heidi, the owner, went especially above and beyond by scrambling for us when we realized-after taking the ferry-that we'd come on the wrong day! She made it work. Jorge and Victor were thoughtful and personable guides who... More

We are a family of 5 who stopped in Cozumel while on a cruise. We have cruised before but this was the first time we booked private excursions in hopes of receiving better service for less money and that is exactly what we received with Buena Ventura. We pre-arranged our snorkeling excursion and everything went as Heidi had communicated in... More

We LOVED the 1/2 day snorkeling with Buena Ventura Diving! We had 4 teenagers between 2 families and they are very active. They needed this type of excursion! Our guide Mario and our captain Victor were just the best. They actually made it what it was. Mario is so experienced that he would dive under and point out things for... More
