SCUBA Diving and Cenote Cavern Diving and Snorkeling
We highly recommend Jorge Gonzalez for any dive services (resort dive courses, PADI Open Water Certifications, Referrals, Ocean dives and Cenotes Dives). He offers private service for smaller groups and you can learn to dive in your private swimming pool at your villa!
Jorge Gonzalez was part of the IMAX film Journey Into Amazing Caves which was filmed in Yucatan, Mexico in 1999 and premiered in IMAX cinemas in March 2001. Jorge has 15 years dive experience and was chosen from the film company as their primary cenote diving guide. It is an incredible movie - don't miss it at the IMAX Cinema.
Visit the Dive Ace website and make your reservation for an exclusive private dive adventure in the ocean and/or cenote. You can also contact him directly at jorge@diveace.com
