Feel the warm sand between your toes or take the plunge beneath the sea with Pro Divers... you can do as much or as little as you want on this holiday to Mexico!

The Allegro Playacar sits right on its own beach and is set amongst tropical gardens. The hotel offers 2 rooms grades. As standard, you will find air con, a mini bar, TV, iron, coffee making facilities and a safe. The superior rooms have either a king sized double or twin beds.

The team from ProDivers are on hand on site (the dive centre is located next door, with a permanent presence in the Allegro Playacar) to help you plan each and every dive during your stay.

There is a day time kids club for younger guests and a full entertainment schedule to keep even the most active body on the go! Fancy a more sedate pace of life? Why not visit the spa or golf course (local charges apply).

Location

Cancun is around 11 hours flying time direct from London. Los Cabos is around 18-20hours indirect flying time. Mexico's Carribbean coastline is famous for the cenotes dives.

The main star of the diving around Playa Del Carmen is undoubtedly the cenotes. These sinkholes are unique to the Yucatan and are easy dives for all experience levels. But there is so much more to discover and with the Pro Dive Mexico team, you are in safe hands!

Pro Dive Mexico are a multinational team who have the experience you need to make your diving holiday in Mexico a success. They can teach all PADI courses right through from your first try dive up to Divemaster... and beyond.

  • 5 star PADI IDC centre
  • Guided cenotes dives
  • Daily boat reef diving
  • Free nitrox
  • Dive Cozumel with Pro Dive too!

Mexico's cenotes are cave dives with a difference - many are bight, spacious environments and divers do not need special training. All cenotes dives are carefully guided and technical caves can be dived (please discuss this at the time of booking). Dos Ojos and Chac Mol are must do dives! But in addition to the famous cenotes there are great reef and wreck dives on your door step. The Mama Vina wreck sits at 30m and has become a popular artificial reef with divers. There are gentle reef dives for less experienced divers or head to Turtle reef, where pelagic fish and turtles await. Between December and March you can dive with bull sharks from Playa del Carmen - please talk to one of our consultants if you would like more information.
