Special Thanks for Aquadivers Argentina for visiting us!








We would like to write a special thank you note for our dear friends from Argentina who started diving on this Wednesday 19th until Sunday 23rd, and especially to Gonzalo Viamonte who was our contact there and helped us organize this whole trip!

Not only did we enjoy four different dives in Playa del Carmen, where we saw turtles, tarpons and barracudas, but also in Cozumel, for four different dives too, where we got to admire the breathtaking coral reef as well as the huge coral walls and amazing caves in Palancar Gardens.

We also went cavern diving in our extremely beautiful Cenotes! We did 2 thrilling dives with torches in order to discover some thousands years old stalactites and stalagmites, where salt water and fresh water mix… letting us to admire the halocline effect.
Some lucky few also went for an adventurous night dive in Playa, to close this great experience!

All of Phantom Divers’ staff had a really great time diving with all of you in Playa del Carmen and is looking forward to seeing you again very soon for funny dives with outgoing but also very professional instructors!

Visit "La Casa de las Mariposas"!







You wish for the whole family or friends you’re on holidays with to have a good time, even though you won’t spend your day all together because you’re going scuba diving and you don’t want to leave your beloved with nothing to do…

We’ve got a super option to offer to you! While you go diving, we invite the rest of your crew to go and spend some time in “La Casa de las Mariposas”… “House of the Butterflies”!

This is a gorgeous place to enjoy nature with two different areas.

The first one being an open garden where butterflies have been attracted in a totally natural way and where you can find more than 500 species living in this zone such as the Blue Morpho, depending on the season when you are going.

The second one being a more controlled area, a greenhouse where more than 10 different native species live.
During the tour, you get to enjoy a lot of exotic plants and orchids and also learn to identify medicinal Mayan plants.

The aim of this site is to protect the natural environment of Yucatan, and of course, of the whole planet, while spending a great time with friends or family in a natural environmentally friendly place surrounded by tons of exotic and gorgeous animals species and plants.

Lion Fish Collect, Project in Playa del Carmen!







As you might have already heard before, lion fishes are getting more and more populated in a few areas of the world where should not even exist.The Lionfish, whose average length is close to 1 foot (0.3 meters), is also known as Turkey Fish, Dragon Fish or Scorpion Fish and originally comes from the Indo-Pacific oceanic region.

Nevertheless, since approximately one year, they have been spotted in the warmer coral regions of the eastern Atlantic Ocean. More precisely in the whole Yucatan Peninsula, coming straight from Florida towards Mexico, while making a few stops in the Bahamas where they are causing a lot of troubles to the marine life.

These little creatures can become dangerous if a human being touches them because they have venomous dorsal spikes, but extremely rarely fatal to the human body, even though the pain can get really intense and sometimes followed by vomiting, headaches and breathing difficulties.

Not only can Lionfishes be dangerous for human beings, but also to the marine life because they eat a lot of aquatic plants, such as corals, and only have very few predators. Therefore, they are destructing the natural biosphere and disturbing it a lot, because the native fishes don’t know how to react to these new animals that aren’t part of their natural environment.

In order to protect the precious Mayan Coral Reef, Phantom Divers’ instructors work in pair with other associations and capture them, so that the ecosystem doesn’t get affected by Lionfishes, and everything remains normal, plus the coral reef stays as gorgeous as it is.

Furthermore, a few days ago our instructors Ramón Magaña, Rubén González y Carlos Estrabeau received a diploma to thank them for helping the national government to stop the spreading of the Lion Fish.

Therefore, we would like to specially thank our qualified instructors without whom it would have never been possible to accomplish this hard work.

Discover Scuba Diving!



If you have always wondered how it felt like to breathe underwater and how everything looks like in the ocean world... but you are not sure if you are willing to get certified straight away... you have the amazing chance to take the Discover Scuba Diving Program!

An instructor will begin with a small theoretical class on the beach, teaching you the basic skills you need to know, such as the names of the different parts of you equipment, the most important signs you would have to use underwater to communicate with your buddies, the way to jump into the water or how to react if you have water in your mask!
Afterwards, you will take the boat and make the exercises in the ocean while being helped by your instructor.
Once you are able to do them on your own and you feel comfortable breathing underwater, you will take the boat and go for 2 different shallow dives where you will have the chance to have a look at the gorgeous Caribbean reefs while being surrounded by tons of extremely colorful fishes...maybe turtles or starfishes!
Of course, if you enjoyed this unique feeling you have when you dive, you can take some classes and get certified!

Do not wait any longer and come and try out our fantastic Scuba Diving Experience in Playa del Carmen with our awesome and extremely experienced instructors!
