We had a wonderful time with Maria! As a family of four, we visited the Cenotes of the Yucatan Peninsula. She described the ecology of the area, as well as how the cenotes formed. We visited three cenotes, each were quiet and not buzzing with too many tourists. She also took 12 of us on a great snorkeling trip to... More

This was my first "real" scuba experience and Luz was just wonderful. She arranged everything including picking me up at my hotel, transportation to Cozumel and all equipment - all for what I felt was a very reasonable price. If I returned to the area without my home base scuba crew - I would DEFINITELY hope to have Luz as... More

Luz Maria, owner of Buceo Xtabay, is the perfect guide. Personable, friendly and a former high school biology teacher, she was able to educate us about sea life on the reef. She picked spots with good visibility and a comfortable temperature. She photographs your experience and emails you digital pictures of your adventure. A fruit snack concludes the trip and... More

She shared a lot of the history of the area between dives; as well as savory homemade sandwiches. Our first dive was a wreck... More

We went with Luz Maria and Pancho to snorkel with the whale sharks, and it was one of THE MOST AMAZING EXPERIENCES of my life! I loved every second of being in the water with those beautiful fish! If you try this, you have to go with Buceo Xtabay! They are the most professional, friendly, expert guides who have years... More

All of the previous reviews are 100% correct. This tour was the highlight of our Cancun trip. Maria and Francisco are wonderful hosts, Maria is a marine biologist so knows her stuff and the trip was absolutely fabulous. Their boat is smaller so it is a much more intimate tour and you get a lot more time in the water... More
