Located in Playa del Carmen, Pluto Dive is a small operation with a very personal feel. Staff are friendly, kind and professional. When I travel to Cozumel for reef diving, I usually set aside a day or two for Cenote diving. I emailed Barbara and listed the cenotes I have dove in the past; she recommended a new one for... More

Barbara was professional,thorough and patient. I always felt safe and I feel I learned a lot. My husband has had his diving certification for a a couple years... More

Pluto Dive staff is knowledgeable, accommodating and very professional. Alberto, the shop’s owner and lead guide, has expert knowledge of the local dive sites. Only after my dive when I compared notes with other divers in the community, did I realize that I experienced many of the area’s hidden gems that most divers do not have the good fortune to... More

My teenaged son and I studied the PADI Open Water Diver Manual before leaving for Playa del Carmen and took our in-pool classes, written tests and open water certification dives with Pluto in February 2012. What a great experience! Alberto and Barbara take a practical approach to teaching which made the material easy to learn and remember. We’re grateful for... More

Pluto Dive Shop is a wonderful outfit. If you're looking for large groups to dive with and impersonal service, do not go there! Pluto caters to small numbers and their service is very personal. I found them to be very easy to deal with and they met my every need.Their equipment is well taken care of and they are extremely... More

We had the opportunity this year to dive again with Barbara and Alberto at PlutoDive in Playa del Carmen, Mexico. This was our fourth vacation to Playa, and our third time diving with these wonderful folks. Since we are both relatively new to the sport, it has been important to us to go with people who inspire confidence, and both... More

The recent trip & diving experience with PlutoDive was ausome. Limited (2-3) divers on each excurion and personal assistance from the dive master. The Cenote dive (Chac Mool) was exceptional. I would recommend using this shop for friendliness, timeliness and well functioning equipment. They make diving an overall pleasurable experience. And if you don't want anymore deep dives, no problem.... More
