I dove with aquaworld a couple of months ago, and all I can say is FIND SOMEWHERE ELSE! The equipment on the [cattle] boat was terrible... regulators blowing hoses, bc's that don't hold air in them, etc... The staff on the boat was not very helpful at all. The only thing I saw was an instructor, Derrick if i remember correctly with students who seemed to be genuinely concerned with their experience (and ours) and their course... of course he was the only person on the boat who spoke fluent english (claims to be mexican but i have my doubts -white, tall, light brown hair and a bunch of tattoos). they give us like 35 minutes of bottom time (even though we all still had over 1000 psi) and that's it on a 30' reef, and they rush us into the boat, the staff switches out tank and then they rushed us back into the water. when we came out, the instructor with the students wasn't even back on the boat yet, and when he came back up all the other guys started giving him attitude (I dont speak spanish, but I guess they don't like it when an instructor takes his time with his students). Then they put all the gear away, rinse off and go upstairs to talk to the captain and forget all about the customers.. the only one who stayed behind was again, that same instructor and when he finished with his students he sat and chatted with us for a while before putting his gear away. the captain was really nice too.. even this his english was rather broken he seemed like a sweet man. They offer sodas and water from thsi nasty cooler, and it was just not a pleasant experience. When we got off the boat I wanted to see the manager, and the so called manager is the rudest guy in the world. granted, I am not the most experienced diver in the world, but this guy was just unnecessarily rude and condescending. claiming he's an instructor of all kinds of specialties and this and that and that he knows his job, and I am just an idiot.. I wish I would have taken his name down (juan something)so that I could report him to padi. I am glad I only bought a 2 tank trip to test them out before buying a package. Cancun diving is really nice, but stay away from aquaworld. there are plenty of other dive shops in cancun for you to go with.
