Pro Dive Mexico - Playa Del Carmen

Royal Hideaway Resort

Pro Dive International operates several PADI 5-Star dive centers in and around Playa del Carmen, providing divers with convenient access to the Riviera Maya’s diverse underwater attractions. Its main dive center is located directly on the beach at Royal Hideaway Playacar, with additional check-in points and dive centers at resorts including Allegro Playacar, Occidental at Xcaret Destination and Catalonia Playa Maroma. The centers are recognized with National Geographic and Green Star awards and are supported by a qualified, multilingual team.

The Playa del Carmen operation offers diving for different experience levels, from shallow local reefs suitable for beginners to deeper sites and stronger-current locations for experienced divers. Local sites include Jardines, Tortugas, Cerebros and the Mama Viña wreck, while divers can also join excursions to the famous Mayan cenotes, experience seasonal bull shark diving, or travel to Cozumel to explore sites such as Palancar and Santa Rosa Reef. Boats depart directly from the shore, with many local dive sites reachable within approximately 5–10 minutes.

Pro Dive also provides a broader range of diving services, including dive packages, cenote excursions, bull shark experiences and professional PADI training through its Career Development Center. The operation offers free Nitrox when available across its dive centers, while its bull shark program also supports local conservation through donations to Saving Our Sharks.

The PADI Scuba Diver course consists of three main phases:

PADI Online Open Water Diver

This is the most popular dive program in the world! And can be your chance to have a lifetime of intense adventures.

The Online PADI Open Water Course was recently launched by PADI and enables you to complete the theoretical training and knowledge development sessions online and then take the final exam and complete the confined and open water dives in resort.

This is an exclusive opportunity we run with Inmo Divers in Dahab. The cost of the online section is 120USD and can be completed within on the PADI E-Learning website .

From the beginning to end of the course, you will learn the fundamentals of scuba diving, including areas such as dive equipment and techniques that will give you the confidence and skill to become a responsible diver.

You attain this rating by completing five pool dives and a number of knowledge development sessions with a final exam (which is not rocket science it’s just diving) and by completing four open water dives.



We also offer this course with 2 days diving for £197.
