Cate WaltersGoogle review“ We had a wonderful experience with Tank-ha. Highly experienced dive instructors, lovely and kind staff at the shop, and an overall smooth and well-planned experience diving. Our instructor Josh was friendly, clear, safe, and knowledgeable, and gave my dad and I the perfect “intro” first dive to refresh our skills after a two-year hiatus. All of the shop staff and our boat drivers were ”
Allan LoperaGoogle review“ Had a great time working with the shop for a couple of certifications along with fun diving. Silvia and Victor accommodated things on a last minute basis and were flexible with my scheduling, which made my stay much more enjoyable. I am very appreciative of the efforts of Silvia to help me finish my rescue course after several unexpected mishaps 😅 Don, Pablo, Noellia, ”
Travis MoreyGoogle review“ Tank-Ha Dive Center was a great place to have our first dives after certification. The staff were super friendly and helpful. All the equipment we rented was solid and well taken care of. Our dive guides were knowledgeable and were focused on safe but fun dives. We did 4 dives over 2 days and saw some incredible reef life. I would recommend this shop ”
Julia HyndmanGoogle review“ Absolutely wonderful!! We did our first cenote dive with Rueben and he was the best dive guide we’ve ever had. A life changing dive experience. Something we will cherish for a lifetime. ”
Daniel DragnevGoogle review“ Excellent diving experience. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. It was my wife's first time and our guide, Coral, made her feel safe and at ease. ”
Christian BomboschGoogle review“ First of all: I have no comparison to other dive centers in Mexico, but came along over the world quite a bit. So if you are seeking a first class dive center, perfectly organized with much space, fancy boats and brand new equipment: go elsewhere. I came back to Playa del Carmen after more than 20 years and Tank-Ha is still there. So obviously, ”
Meghan RayGoogle review“ Fantastic dive shop! We’ve done 9 cenotes and the bull shark dive over 3 trips and everyone at the shop is friendly and professional. Rental gear is in good shape, and divemasters take safety seriously. Easy to schedule dives, and they are always very punctual. ”
Alina PGoogle review“ I had a wonderful time diving with Tank-Ha. From the very beginning everything went smooth: good communication, a plan where I will dive when, and transparent costs. In the end I did three days of ocean diving and four days of cenotes. The dive groups were never more than four people, some days I was even alone with my guide. ”
MikaelahGoogle review“ Communication was great even before our arrival. We dove with Boris, who helped get us situated with our gear and was overall fantastic to have guide us. Everyone at the shop was chill, they let us leave our dive bag in the shop so we could walk around the area, and even helped contact our cab to return back to our hotel. Absolutely recommend ”
claireGoogle review“ I really loved working with this dive shop. They were communicative and accommodating with our several scheduling constraints.I am a novice AOW diver and my partner got his OW certification here. I dove three days with three phenomenal instructors- Josh, Boris and Pablo for the cenotes. All three of them cared a lot about our safety during the dives and were also very wonderful ”
Chris CaddenGoogle review“ We had an incredible dive experience with our dive masher Josh, he was cool and calm and explained everything to us in immense detail and answered any questions we had. Thanks you so much to him and all the team at Tank-Ha!! We will definitely be back in the future. ”
Erin WestgateGoogle review“ High winds closed the port in Cozumel, so we hopped a ferry to Playa to do some last-minute cenote diving. So glad we did! We’re cavern/cave divers from Florida, and can’t say enough about how wonderful Pablo and Tank-Ha were. Pablo’s a fantastic diver and guide; we were impressed with his knowledge of the local cenotes, and how safety-minded he (and the whole operation) ”
