I did four cenote dives with "The Cenote Guy": Angelita & Dreamgate (with Aydin) and The Pit & Dos Ojos (with Paco). These were my first ever cavern dives, and... read more they were some of the most amazing and surreal dives I have done so far. Each cenote is different and amazing in its own way, so I can highly recommend doing multiple trips. I can easily see how cenote diving becomes addicting 🙂
Both Aydin and Paco are equally amazing guides that immediately make you feel comfortable, put a lot of emphasis on dive safety, and provide lots of background knowledge on the different cenotes and their history.
I am an AOW certified diver with 40 logged dives at the time, and was slightly nervous before the dives, but Aydin's and Paco's explanations and dive planning immediately made me comfortable.
So, if you are coming to Tulum, you should definitely put Cenote diving on your ToDo list, and I can highly recommend diving with "The Cenote Guy".
And if that wasn't enough, their booking process is very streamlined and the best I've seen in any dive shop so far, Dani (who is handling bookings) is doing a great job in answering any question you might have.
January 28, 2023936arniesMy wife and I are having a fantastic time with the cenote guy, we have dove 4 cenotes so far and plan to so more. Great for ocean divers to... read more challenge themselves in a new environment. Our guide Ayden has been a real pro, started easy then we moved up at our request with incrementaly increasing difficult dives giving us a real sense of confidence. It feels good to get a little outside your box! Can't wait till Thursday to see what Ayden has in store!!
We gave Dani a call on whatsapp, filled out all the necessary paperwork online...too easy. Pickup/dropoff at your resort with sandwiches and drinks at your surface interval.

Cenotes scuba diving is a must do on the riviera maya, scuba diving with The Cenote Guy is a must if you want a funny, emotional, adrenalinic and safe experience
January 19, 2023sonjagL9322TZI don’t even know how to express how amazing this experience was. When we were looking into booking the diving the Cenote guys admin made everything so simple for us.... read more The Cenote guy has probably the best Admin I have ever experienced and this really is what made us book through them. Paco our dive Instructor! What an amazing man we did our Trip with him on the 14th and Paco was incredible he was such a fun lighthearted guy who we felt very relaxed and comfortable with. He also made sure we understood the safety and made the whole experience very comfortable while we were in the Cenotes. Again Paco is the best dive instructor we have had and I really do mean that! If you’re looking to go diving I 10/10 recommend this company and I can’t wait to come back one day to dive with the Cenote guy and hopefully Paco again ️

Cenote diving with The Cenote Guy was perfect!! My guide Ayden was very knowledgeable about the history of the cenotes/caves and was also very safe and made the group feel... read more very comfortable. The cenotes themselves looked to be from another planet, I definitely suggest bringing a camera if allowed to capture the magnificent colors. 15/10 recommend!
January 18, 2023K1829BVtwMy partner and I chose The Cenote Guy to dive with during our stay in Tulum and we are so glad we made that choice! The whole process of booking... read more the trip was incredibly smooth with no hidden fees and everything you are told is a guarantee. Paco was a wonderful guide to take in Dos Ojos and The Pit which were wonderful dive sites. Paco provided a rich historical background for the dive sites, an experience full of laughs and also made sure we felt safe and taken care of the whole day. It was unforgettable and an experience of a lifetime! Definitely recommend The Cenote Guy and especially Paco!

January 15, 2023Elizabeth GSecond time diving with Cenote Guy and instructor Jonathan.
Came back in January and wanted to dive The Pit and Dos Ojos. Can honestly say these guys are... read more up there with the best!
Pick up is at Pro Air (don't worry that it isn't a dive shop per se - it really doesn't matter).
Driven to the cenotes - relaxed, great briefing that puts you at ease. Jonathan is a brilliant dive instructor and you know you're in safe hands. He's knowledgeable and great to hear about the history of the cenotes.
I had some trouble on my second dive in the pit, equalising and he was so calm and helped me get down.
Highly recommend the bat cave in Dos Ojos - so cool to see them flying around when you surface.
Great authentic Mexican lunch after diving and then drive back to Pro Air.
I'll be back to dive with cenote guy again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them (as a diver of 20 years, I've seen a lot of outfits and these guys care) - also great to dive in small groups for a more personal experience and helped me down to the cenote with my kit which was appreciated, as I have a bad back.
THANKS!! Great experience, 1st class!
January 14, 2023stevebY8365KX1st time doing a cenote dive. Can’t explain how terrific it is. I’ve dove in lots of places with probably close to 2,000 hours underwater, (Commercial Diver) and this has... read more been the coolest thing I’ve ever seen. The water is so clear and clean that the visibility is only limited to your flashlight. Remi was a fantastic guide that took the time to explain the cenotes and how they were developed and evolved. With a limited group of 4 divers there’s no risk of crowding. If you’re in or near Playa I highly recommend cenote diving and The Cenote Guy crew! You won’t be disappointed.
January 12, 2023Roxana GThis was an amazing experience. My first cenote dive. Something so magical that you can’t really describe. Paco was so helpful and took his time helping me to adjust to... read more everything. I loved his personal attention. There were only two divers and Paco.

January 8, 2023laurakR3246NHI highly recommend the cenote guy. All of the divemasters LOVE what they do and are excited to show you the days events.

Dos ojos & the pit with Johnathan was excellent paced and calm environment loved the choices for the day. Loved surfacing in the bat cave. Kukulkan & little brother with Paco. Got some excellent photos from the local photographer, gorgeous dancing light and wonderful atmosphere.
Zapote & Kin Ha with Sebastian. Super intense first dive but totally worth the view. Seeing how much these cenotes were loved made my heart happy.
Angelita & Dreamgate with Johnathan was magic. When you enter the cloud, it takes you back in time. Dreamgate was an easy but challenging dive, buoyancy control a must.

At the end of the dive I lost my diving computer; the day after the diving typed me that they found it. They was very kind
January 6, 2023127bradyrMel was a fantastic guide! Super passionate, informative, and laid back. Cenote Angelita was other worldly, and Carwash Cenote was also really spectacular.
January 5, 2023Jiahuif125From the start, communication over whatsapp with Dani was super prompt and detailed (I really appreciate a good dive shop admin). She even gave me a heads up that my... read more guide was going to be slightly late (just 10 mins) on the first day for the pick-up due to traffic issues.
I did two days of diving with Mel from The Cenote Guy (Dos ojos' barbie line and bat cave, El pit, Carwash and Angelita). There was a great emphasis on safety as cavern diving can be dangerous if the rules are not followed, this was very reassuring. Mel was really thorough with the safety rules and provided a good explanation and history, as well as some of the best dive briefings I've ever had. The cenotes were all beautiful and such a wonderful experience.
P.S. for info, Dos ojos charges 300 pesos for camera use (just a compact camera, not professional DSLR, but gopros are free), Carwash 150 pesos (for any camera) but Angelita was free for small cameras and gopros.

MEET THE CENOTE GUY
Where it all began
When Aydin arrived in Playa del Carmen in 2016, he had no idea that, he was about to discover his true bliss. It took just one cenote dive for Aydin to become addicted to this unique, euphoric activity. At that moment, his life turned green and blue, in other words, cenote diving became the highlight of his life.
Leaving behind an engineering career in Paris, Aydin moved to Playa del Carmen, obtained all the necessary certifications and gained a lot of experience as a cavern diving guide so he could turn his passion into a profession, lifestyle and create The Cenote Guy community.


A Cenote Awakening
For Aydin, cavern diving in cenotes is a physical and spiritual calling. Above all else, he is driven by his deep passion to share this incredible experience with other kindred spirits. He feels great pleasure from guiding visitors through the sacred underwater tunnels of the Mayan Riviera, sharing his knowledge about the deep history of this ancient land and its beautiful, magical culture.
The best part is seeing people’s facial expressions of absolute amazement, after their first dive with The Cenote Guy. Most are entranced through their euphoric experience, and this is a truly priceless reward. Seeing people come together before the dive as strangers and leave as friends forever is one of the best parts of being a Cenote Guy.
So, is Aydin The Cenote Guy?
The answer is both Yes and No.
Yes, because for him The Cenote Guy refers to a mindset, a way of being, a passion for exploring a mystical underworld, and an addiction to share this experience with fellow adventurers.
But also No, because he is not the only Cenote Guy. A Cenote Guy is anyone who has experienced cenote diving and understood how impactful and powerful the experience is…. the next Cenote Guy may soon be YOU!
Aydin would never be so presumptuous as to claim to be the one and only Cenote Guy! He knows his love for cenote diving is contagious. He has watched many clients become Cenote Guys and expects to see many more in the future. He enjoys seeing the cenotes as a pilgrimage place for divers who are as captivated and entranced by cenote diving as he is, and growing an international community of Cenote Guys.
