We spent 2 days with Freddy and Charlie diving off Cozumel. Everything that you have read in other reviews is spot on. Freddy is an excellent guide, and thoroughly prepared us for our dives. We were given options, and then he gave us a detailed plan for each dive.
As he knew that the 4 of us lived in Quintana Roo during our surface intervals he gave us history of the area, focusing on how Cozumel came to be. He is beyond proud of his Country. We hope to use the knowledge that he has to educate us on our adopted home.
We will absolutely dive with Mestizo again. You will find no finer opportunity, diver master, and new friend!

I dove with Freddy in November 2018. I have reflected on my dive trip for three weeks before I took the time to write this review.
There are not enough good words to describe the experience I had with Freddy Contreras. I will be short.
Dive with Freddy and enjoy.
If this does not convince you ask me a question and I will answer

I became PADI certified with Freddy Contreras in 1996, when he worked out of the dive shop of beautiful Plaza Las Glorias Hotel (now called Cozumel Palace). I absolutely loved working with Freddie! He is very knowledgeable, experienced and professional. His personality lends itself to instructing all types of levels, given his gentle and thoughtful approach. I returned later after having children for a resort refresher course and enjoyed seeing him again. When I return, I plan to take another course and dive with him! Highly recommended!

I have been certified by Freddy nearly 15 years ago. Since then he has gotten his own business, bought a bigger boat, and always makes the dives personal and professional. There isn't anyone on Cozumel could have a better operation than Freddy. Abraham as a divemaster is excellent and kept a really good eye on our group of 6. I joined the group and my wife who is not currently a diver stayed on board and visited with Freddy as we were on our dive. It was incredibly smooth, comfortable, enjoyable and amazing experience. As others have said, if you would like to learn more about the culture of Cozumel, or anything diving related, Freddy is the right guy! I can't recommend highly enough diving with Mestizo Divers!

We are a family of four divers who are experienced. From the first hello with Freddy we knew that the diving experience with his company would be excellent. Freddy is probably one of the nicest people you will ever meet. Very genuine, sincere and passionate of his heritage and what the area has to offer. The diving was some of the very best that we have experienced due to the great care and attention Freddy and his crew offered. We dove a total of 10 dives with Freddy and his co-worker Abraham and extremely pleased with the quality and location of the dives. We will definitely dive with Mestizo when we come back to Cozumel. We would highly recommend his company but plan early as he does book up early. Thanks for the awesome experience you will not be forgotten.

Freddy and Cheri were professional, friendly, and accomodating. I did my open water certification course with Mestizo Divers and I can`t recommend them enough. In Cozumel there are open water courses for less than $300 where you are on a cattle boat with up to 12 other novices and they try and get you through the PADI requirements in 3 half days and 3 dives. For $400 Freddy and Cheri spend 4 days and give you 8 open water dives! Freddy really cares about the teaching and safety and spends as much time as necessary making sure you understand and can perform skills.
One thing I loved about Fredy is that he told me before taking payment: I will not pass you if you don`t complete the course and pass the exams. I also liked that he wasn`t afraid to tell me (when I missed a skill): Think...use your head...this isn`t a joke.
Freddy really impressed upon me the importance of safety and protocol. At the same time, we had a blast....really fun and friendly couple. I live in Ecuador and a friend in Galapagos recommended him...his reputation preceeds him half way around the world....extremely professional and competent. Highly recommended,

Freddy and his wife were incredibly gracious. We had great instruction, learned about the local reefs and shared his extensive knowledge with us. We were treated to fresh fruit and water and we able to drift dive some of the most beautiful spots you could imagine. A truly great experience with a good family business.

We dove multiple tanks with Mestizo Divers on each of 5 days in late March, and it was even better than we were hoping--from all the great reviews. This is the exact opposite of a 'cattle boat.' It is a local family run operation with long experience that specializes in small group diving, with a max of 6 divers. Freddy Contreras may be the most qualified divemaster and teacher on the island. He grew up on Cozumel and has trained many of the better divemasters now on the island. It was interesting to see the respect and good will he received as we interacted with other boats and operators in the course of five days. We felt like we got the best of both worlds: a super professional, solid, safe operation, together with individual attention and the care to get our small group into the most exciting, fishy, and beautiful spots appropriate to our skill levels and the weather/currents conditions. He took us to 10 different reefs and walls, chosing sites to get us into a bunch of different habitats, each with their own treasures. Underwater, if you show interest, Freddy will use a waterproof slate to write fascinating details to look for or ID something you're wondering about. He is not a pushover, and will not let anyone endanger themselves or spoil a dive for the others. If you are open to constructive criticism, he will tactfully give you solid, valuable advice. Even for folks with a lot of underwater experience, he will make you a better diver. Freddy has a huge knowledge of the underwater environment and the history of the region, and is wonderful to talk to between dives. He cares deeply about this place and loves to show the best of it to others. He's fluent in English as well as Spanish. His wife Chari, who expertly pilots the boat to follow the divers when they're down, and expertly guides you in and out of your gear, understands English and is fluent in Spanish and Mayan. It is a lovely, friendly, super competent family, including son Freddy Jr, who takes your fins from you the second you hold them up from the water at the end of a dive. They put out a great spread of tropical fruit between dives, all safe to eat. We feel like we hit the jackpot this time (our 7th trip to Cozumel), and look forward to diving with Mestizo any time we return. We also think it's important to support local families and businesses when we're travelling, and you can't get any more local and family than this. Plus, they're the best!

Best dive operation, hands down. A great, comfortable boat but only takes 6 divers for safety and to not be a "cattle boat". The owner is a one man operation who has been diving these reefs for decades. He has a love of diving, Cozumel, and a respect for the reefs and their inhabitants. He expects the same of his divers. Fresh Fruit and water on the boat and all the local and dive knowledge you'd like from him on your surface interval. You will plan all future trips to Cozumel around his schedule.
