Scuba Libre has been operating in Playa del Carmen since 1998. At the present time we operate two dive centers, one located in the heart of Playa del Carmen (see map below) only 30m/100ft from the sea and the other inside of the Caracol Village Resort, 6km/4mi north of Playa del Carmen. We are a PADI Resort Operator and active member of APSA (Riviera Maya Association of Dive & Water Sports Operators.) Our Dive Masters and Instructors are very familiar with all of the diverse dive sites along Playa del Carmen and very experienced in training and guiding divers and non-divers under the water. We take a maximum of four divers per Dive Master/Instructor into the ocean, this way we can give full attention to our clients to ensure them the safest and most exciting dive experience possible. As a rule, we prefer to manage small groups and will only take a maximum of eight divers in our boats. This way we make your diving experience very enjoyable and safe.

Our boats, have been specially customized for diving activities, providing all the space and comfort that a diver may expect, plus all of the necessary safety equipment that an open sea operation requires, such as oxygen, first aid kit, and lifejackets. Both boats and dive centers are fitted with state of the art radio communications with direct access to the Local SSS Recompression Chamber and DAN of Playa del Carmen. These centers have professional physicians and facilities in case of any emergency.
