Diver reviews

Learn and progress with Rémi

★★★★★

“I completed my Open Water with Rémi and recommend him wholeheartedly! Rémi is an excellent teacher: patient, reassuring, accommodating and friendly. I will always remember my first dives, especially the truly magical cenote dive. Thank you for everything 🙏”

Laura Belmas Open Water · Google Review · Translated from French

★★★★★

“A fantastic experience that I highly recommend. I completed my PADI Open Water in Playa del Carmen with Rémi. He is a passionate and highly experienced instructor who organizes the dives so you can discover the region’s most beautiful places: cenotes, reefs, turtles and more. He will also introduce you to the local cuisine after a wonderful morning of diving, and you leave with plenty of photos and videos. I will undoubtedly continue my PADI training with Rémi on my next trip to Mexico.”

Gauthier V Open Water · TripAdvisor · Translated from French

★★★★★

“As a relatively new diver with 20 dives, I was delighted to train with Rémi for my Advanced Open Water. I recommend him to everyone for his teaching skills, good humour and extensive knowledge of the local environment. He introduced me to the cenotes and showed what makes them so special. After 14 dives with him in six days, he also proved to have endless energy. Speaking French, English and Spanish, he will always find the words to make you laugh.”
