DIVING MEXICO
phocea mexico
It’s been almost two decades since we opened a small dive center located in Playa del Carmen. We now manage several Phocéa diving bases, spread from East to West, on Mexican territory, 2.200 miles away. Rigor, quality of service, availability, and flexibility are our TOP priorities.
“Ask us for the impossible and we offer it to you.”
mexican caribbean
In the heart of the Caribbean, Playa del Carmen, a charming fishing village that has become a must-see seaside resort on the Yucatan peninsula, has around fifteen diving spots suitable for all levels. This real aquatic paradise is perfectly located in order to make the most of all the assets of this region. Cozumel Island is only a 30min speedboat ride away. The cenotes are located 20min from the dive center and it only takes 40min to discover the whale sharks.

For lovers of diving, Playa Del Carmen is a must-see. Located on the second largest barrier reef in the world, it will delight all divers, whether they are experienced or beginners.

diving cozumel
It was in Cozumel that Mexico’s first protected marine park was established over 25 years ago. This place is a real sanctuary where you will be surprised at each stroke of the palm by the diversity of its underwater life but also by their sizes… they are enormous. In Cozumel, the lobsters come out of their holes and taunt you knowing that they are safe from all fishing. We take you there every day from the dive center by speedboat.
whale sharks
Whale sharks, the largest fish in the world, congregate by the hundreds each summer north of Cancun. You will be able to swim with these giants of the seas in order to observe them in complete freedom. We will be the first on-site to make the most of it before the other tourists arrive.
100% guaranteed. If you don’t see them, we’ll refund you.

bull sharks
Every year from November to March, bull sharks congregate in the Mexican Caribbean. Playa Del Carmen is the best place in the world to dive with them. Unforgettable memories and guaranteed thrills! Phocéa does not endorse the feeding. It is therefore without bait that we meet these majestic creatures.
eagle rays
A few kilometers from Playa Del Carmen, near a small fishing village, there is a beautiful submerge shipwreck. In addition to being covered with coral, to our delight, eagle rays have found refuge there. We take you swimming with these magnificent creatures. Guaranteed encounter and Nitrox included for these 2 dives.
sailfish
The sailfish is the fastest fish in the world. It’s the sea cheetah. It can reach 110 km/h, or 30m per second. It is north of Cancun that these animals meet every year at the beginning of the year to hunt sardines in groups. We invite you to witness this unique spectacle in complete safety. Nevertheless, it is a day reserved for people not very sensitive to seasickness because the conditions are often rough.
diving extensions
We are committed to helping you discover our Mexico, the one that goes off the beaten track, the one that is not invaded by the average tourists … we, therefore, create exclusive adventures from scratch that will delight all divers.
