He made us feel very comfortable while I hadn't dived in 20yrs and it was my wife's first time. Great presence and a wonderful instructor.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Just had the absolute best experience diving in playa del carmen and cozumel with AWA - felt supported and informed throughout the whole process with Bai and Mauricio - I completed my advanced course and a friend did his open water certificate. After 6 amazing dives, our group felt safe and supported and had loads of fun, explored loads of amazing areas and have some great videos of our dives! 100% recommend AWA if you’re looking for a great reputable company to dive with :)
