A solid week of cave diving was booked with UTJ and it was an outstanding experience that went without a hitch. Everything just worked. Communication with Nat pre trip was outstanding, with helpful advice on where to stay, other tour operators to consider etc. I had some gear lost or damaged on the way to Mexico....no problem, some loan gear was provided as required. The guide provided was excellent, very knowledgeable, took us to a great range of sites (including ones that they would not normally visit), very safe and ideally suited to what we wanted to do. The shop had a good range of gear for sale, sorb was available for RB divers, safe storage for our gear overnight. Daily pickup and drop-off from our Akumal accommodation, lunch and drinks provided. I cannot think of anything more that we could have asked for.

Dove with Lili for 4 days but wish I had stayed a month! She’s a true cave diving professional yet easygoing and personable. UTJ is a class outfit with excellent staff and facilities. Top notch!

I had a fantastic time diving with Under the Jungle. I dove with two guides - Martin and Lily and both were fabulous cenote leads as well as UW models. They were very accommodating (when possible), are very experienced (both had over 12 years of experience diving the cenotes/caves in this area), safety is their first and foremost goal (both yours and making sure there is no damage to the cavern during your dive) and very close second is for you to have a great experience.
The cenotes here are so beautiful, I'm now considering getting cave certified. If you're a diver and haven't tried a cenote dive yet, I highly recommend adding it to your bucket list and scheduling a guided cenote dive with Under the Jungle. You will love it !

"There is no second best"! Dive center is owned by Vincent, a truly legend in the cave diving world! Everything is super organised, it's private group so the instructor does his best to give you a life time experience. Nick is just too kind, patient and so knowledgeable. Most professional and passionate instructor we ever met!
The place to be, and to come back!

Excellent dive shop! I started my TDI Sidemount Course here a couple of weeks ago and will return shortly for continuation of this. Ultimate goal, over time, is to earn a Full Cave diving certification. Natalie Gibb was my instructor (and will be moving forward) and was amazing. The level of instruction was top-notch. I had only done recreational diving up until the start of the course. I have dipped my toes into the technical side of diving and would highly recommend this shop for this. I was also able to rent all equipment needed for the course.

I have been diving caverns in the Tulum area for 15 years. There is no other dive operation that comes close to the level of professionalism and saftey that Under the Jungle does. By far the best choice for cave and cavern guides and training in Quintana Roo.

I spend one great day diving with Nick in Chac-Mool and Tajma-Ha caverns. Absolutely professional approach and dedication! Attention to every detail, safety, well planned and guided dives. One of my best diving days ever!

A fantastic experience! You won't find better hands to be in when you try the jaw dropping cavern dives of the cenotes. As cave diving specialists and instructors, the excellent crew of Under The Jungle gave me every confidence that they knew what they were doing as they took us into an overhead environment. Our guide, Oliviere, was fantastic - he was great fun and went the extra mile to give us the experience we came for. I definitely intend to come back - two days is not enough time for this mind blowing experience!

I returned from 4 days of guided cenote cavern diving with Under The Jungle (Xpu-ha, Playa del Carmen) and would like to offer a review. I was a solo traveler and I attended a 3 day conference in Merida following these days of diving.
BOOKING
I found this dive shop from reading Scubaboard.com including a private chat with The Chairman. I contacted Nat Gibb and make a booking for guided cavern diving. I placed a deposit through PayPal and I was on my way to bucket list diving with some of the best.
ACCOMMODATION
I booked into one of their studios at a very reasonable rate (please check their website for costs as I will not include them here). The room had a queen size bed with a dining table for 2. There is a bathroom in the suite with a shower/bathtub. The suite had a single hot plate, microwave and refrigerator. There were pots and pans, cups and glasses, and a coffee maker. I brought a carrot peeler and was surprised to find this utensil in their kit! There is a charcoal BBQ outside and outdoor furniture that I was invited to use. Under the kitchen counter, there was a hand-pump, 20 l bottle of water for drinking and cooking. My booking with Rory was smooth and trouble-free. Rory took me to a large grocery story when I arrived and I purchased enough groceries to sustain me for the diving. I had eggs, juice, fruit and a few other healthy things each morning. Consider bringing a kitchen towel for dishes and other kitchen use. Staying onsite with a 15 minute walk to the beach was perfect for me.
GEAR
I brought my own gear and used a single tank with back plate and wing. My guide dived in back-mounted doubles. I used boots and a 3mm hood with my 5mm wetsuit. I was never cold. I did not bring any reels or spools, nor did I bring a DSMB (safety sausage). I did bring Light Monkey lights.
ARRIVAL
I started my journey in Brisbane, Australia, so I had a long journey, with many connecting flights. I divided my gear among 2 checked and one carry on bag (e.g. one mask and Shearwater dive computer in my carry on bag). I booked a transfer with USA TRANSFERS and never received a confirmation. I did chat online and my booking was confirmed. However, my flight was delayed into Cancun, and my pickup was missed. I found the USA TRANSFER team outside the terminal, and within 5 minutes, I had another ride. Within an hour, I was at Under The Jungle, I checked in, took my gear to my room, and diving equipment to the Equipment Room. Then, Rory took me to pick up groceries.
EQUIPMENT ROOM
Under The Jungle has a nicely designed and functional equipment room to maintain your gear, charge batteries and store gear to dry. It is about 7 meters by 4 meters with work benches on two sides, and drying racks on the other long side. There are gas analysers and I used nitro 32 on all my dives. There is a large tub outside the equipment room to rinse gear.
BRIEFING
The next morning I met my guide - Marcelin - and he gave me a cenote and diving briefing (40 minutes) in their classroom (nice learning environment!). The briefing was on a tablet/TV and we covered topics like cavern geology, safety, procedures, signals, etc. Now it was time to dive!
DIVING
Each day started around 8:30, where I analysed my two cylinders, packed my dive gear into solid plastic crates, and then was driven to the cenote by my guide in his truck. At the Cenote entrance, I would pay around 300-400 pesos to access the cenote. Usually, we were the first or second into the water. There were no crowds since it was low season. The diving began with a safety check.
Day 1 - Dos Ojos, check and fine tune buoyancy, two dives
Day 2 - Le Pit, 2 dives
Day 3 - Ponderosa and Tajma-ha, 1 dive each
Day 4 - Dreamgate, 2 dives
The diving is some of the best I have had despite diving in Thailand, Australia, Egypt, Philippines, UAE and Oman. The water was crystal clear; dare I say, perfect visibility! The diving is better than what you see in the videos and photos. My guide gave me positive feedback and my diving improved over the 8 dives. Thank you Marcelin. (Marcelin and the other instructors/guides, are multilingual so they accept international guests.)
LUNCH
Each day, we stopped at small, family owned and operated, restaurants. I had tacos and a beer each day. I ate everything and after about 5 days in Mexico, I started a dose of Flagyl 500mg for suspected giardiasis. I purchased the Flaglyl 500mg at the pharmacy without a prescription.
THE BEACH
The Playa de Xpu-Ha beach is a 15 minute walk from Under The Jungle. I went there two times after diving to chill on the beach. There were a few people snorkelling and I was told you might see turtles. I instead had a Clamato juice with beer. Each time, there was a band playing and people were dancing on the beach. There is also a beach restaurant (fish and chips, chicken wings, burgers, etc.). The beach closes around sunset.
CONCLUSION
The Under The Jungle team gave me a complete diving experience that was world class. They excelled at guided diving and would conclude that they would also excel at TDI courses. I wish Nat and her team continued success and I recommend Under The Jungle without reservation.

The shop was able to arrange an amazing guided cavern tour for me. The owners were very helpful and helped me with gear, trim, and buoyancy; all of which are very important in the caves.
