What to expect
Casa Cenote
Your adventure begins with your theory session and shallow-water training, held directly at Casa Cenote, a stunning open cenote surrounded by lush mangroves and crystal-clear water. Once you’re comfortable and ready, you’ll begin your first dive in the cenote — a calm and beautiful environment, perfect for beginners to enjoy their first moments underwater. After a short surface interval to switch tanks, have water, a sandwich, and fresh fruit, your instructor will guide you to your second dive at Cuevitas Reef, located just a short boat ride from Tulum. There, you’ll explore vibrant coral formations and spot tropical fish, turtles, and stingrays in the warm, turquoise Caribbean Sea. At Dive Machine, we are proud to be the only dive school in Playa del Carmen and Tulum designed with Universal Inclusion, offering adaptive scuba programs that allow divers of all abilities to experience the underwater world safely and comfortably.
