Who are we?

"Turquesa Diving was born out of a deep love for the Caribbean Sea, the sacred cenotes, and the Mayan cultural heritage.

We are a team of instructors, marine biologists, and cultural guides committed to offering transformative underwater experiences while protecting the ecosystems that sustain us."

Vision

To be internationally recognized as the leading dive center in the Riviera Maya for our commitment to the environment, our excellence in service, and our contribution to the preservation of the cenotes and Mayan culture.

We aspire to build a global community of conscious divers who serve as ambassadors for the oceans and guardians of Mexico’s natural and cultural treasures.

Mission

To provide safe, educational, and memorable diving experiences, promoting a deep respect for the environment, the conservation of the aquatic ecosystems of the Mexican Caribbean, and the preservation of the sacred cenotes.

We work with honesty, solidarity, and passion, reviving the richness of Mayan culture and sharing it with every diver who places their trust in us.

Our Values

  • RESPECT for the environment and aquatic ecosystems.

  • HONESTY in every interaction with our customers and partners.

  • SOLIDARITY with our community and with those who share our passion.

  • CARE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT, protecting these freshwater and saltwater sanctuaries that are unique in the world.

Our founder

With more than 11 years of experience and 6,000 dives under his belt, Lionel is a French PADI instructor who has called Mexico home for the past 18 years.

Charismatic, honest, and deeply respectful of marine ecosystems, he conveys his passion for the ocean on every dive and teaches others to explore it safely and mindfully.

His commitment to nature and his sense of responsibility toward every diver who shares unforgettable experiences with him are what make the essence of Turquesa Diving transcend borders.
