We had a great snorkeling experience with Dr. Dive on what ended up being a private tour just for the 2 of us. The guide was courteous, fun, easy to get along with, and stroke a great balance between safety (one of us is a non-swimmer) and fun. Had a blast and would totally recommend them to anyone looking for snorkelling in Costa Maya!

Good tour. On our day the water had perfect visibility. The reef was nice but not spectacular. It was worth the money. 10 minute ride to cruise port. Cost was $8 single or $4 per person

Cesar and his captain were both amazing!!! Very easy to get to Dr dive by taxi and we were given clear instructions on how to snorkel for our first time. It was a private boat for just me and my friend! The water was absolutely beautiful and we felt safe the entire time. Cesar even took a great video of the coral reef and us snorkeling. We saw TONS of fish, a ray, sand dollar, and a living conch!!! Could not recommend this enough and tip well, the service was amazing!!!

Alberto and the team at Doctor Dive were great. It was a very windy day, and they communicated early that we might not have a perfect experience and gave us every opportunity to cancel but also said they were more than willing to take us out, especially as we were only there for the day as it was a port call on a cruise. In the end, they moved our time a bit and took us out, and we had a great experience. The shop has a very chill local dive shop vibe, and all the staff are great. We will visit them again for sure!

Snorkeling was so much fun! We got to see an eel and a sea turtle. The water was so clear and beautiful.

Our guide was excellent in explaining how to snorkel and made a non-swimmer like me feel very confident in the water.

Antonio was amazing. Very knowledgeable, friendly, and an excellent instructor. I highly recommend Dr. Dive and Viator. Everything was exactly as promised, and it was incredible getting to see the Meso-American barrier reef up close!

Safe, guide spoke English which was a plus. Saw some cool fish, urchins, and rays. Water was super clear. Recommend full face masks off amazon.

The Doctor Dive shop is easy to find and very close to the cruise ship terminal for taxi pick up both ways. We had a wonderful hour in the water seeing tons and tons of sea life and it left us wanting more! Personalized small group… so if you like snorkeling in a private setting away from all the tourists, pick this excursion. Plus the price is excellent!

Great price and the guides were awesome. I am glad that we had a Spanish speaker with us though because while waking to Dr Dive several people tried to get us to come to their snorkel places haha. He was able to speak with them in Spanish and tell them that we already had reservations

So many fish to see. Our guide brought some things from the ocean fire for us to touch. The water was warm, making the swimming easily comfortable, even for the kids.
