PADI affiliated operator

Dive the Caribbean's colorful reefs just minutes from shore or explore the crystal-clear caverns of Riviera Maya cenotes with Xico Dive Center.

Xico Dive Center operates from the Zazil-Ha neighborhood in Playa del Carmen, located directly by a local boat pickup beach. The center runs short-ride ocean trips to Caribbean reefs with morning and afternoon schedules, as well as seasonal bull shark observation dives. Guests can also book freshwater cavern diving at cenotes like Chac Mool, Dos Ojos, and Chikin-Ha, or travel directly to Cozumel for drift reef experiences. The operator offers small-group guided trips using premium boats and modern rental equipment, with complimentary nitrox available for certified divers on suitable profiles. Multi-day packages combine local reefs, cenotes, and Cozumel into 4-6 day itineraries, while the academy provides PADI certification courses ranging from Open Water to Divemaster.
