You come as a guest, you leave as a friend

Finally… after site revision, Diversity Diving launches its brand new weblog.

Be sure to keep an eye on this one for we’re going to announce important local updates here in Playa del Carmen, as well as event reports.

Also expect underwater photos/ videos to share our guest’s experiences during the dives they’ve made with us.

Did you dive with us and do you wanna share your personal photos and/or videos here with others? Feel free to send us the file (max. 5MB) and we’ll place it either here or on our website; www.diversitydiving.com

No more 24th street..

After an expansion in 2008 we operated 2 stores, however since the beginning of this month we won’t maintain our initial location on the 24th street in Playa del Carmen.

Especially repetative guests, please make sure to update your address books to: Calle 30 con 5ta avenida, Downtown Playa del Carmen.

———————————————————————————————————————————————————

Na een uitbereiding in 2008 hadden we 2 winkels onder beheer. Echter, sinds het begin van deze maand houden we onze eerste locatie aan de 24e straat in Playa del Carmen niet meer aan.

Wij vragen met name terugkomende gasten om hun adressen boek aan te passen: Calle 30 con 5ta avenida, Downtown Playa del Carmen.

———————————————————————————————————————————————————

Despues de una expancion en el 2008 teniamos 2 tiendas activas. Ahora, a partir del comienzo del mes actual dejamos de utilizar nuestra ubicacion inicial de la calle 24 en

Playa del Carmen.

Queremos pedir, especialmente de nuestros huespedes frequentes que actualizan sus directorios de contactos a: Calle 30 con 5ta avenida, centro Playa del Carmen

Free and legal transfers!

After a turbulent period of making arrangements, we are proud to announce that our official participation company “Orange Line Transportations” is now a fact.

Orange Line Transportations 'The easy way out'

Playa del Carmen counts since the beginning of this year with the strict local law which prohibits any company of any branch to provide touristic transportation, including PICKUPS and the actual TOURS without the explicit licensing and special service plates (Green and white plates stating: TURISMO). Especially the first meantioned service (guest pickups in the hotels) is strongly limited and excludes the use of all pickup trucks.

In the past few weeks there have been numerous cases of vehicle confiscation, (travellers aboard the vehicle) by the authorities when providers continued delivering their regular service, which caused very inconvenient situations for many people.

We considered that this is not the type of service we desire to offer, and therefore worked on the creation of a brand new company, entitled to transport anybody, anywhere within the republic.

Believing strongly in the importance of customer service, our initial policy continues to be respected; Diving is our passion, and we like to share it with you… from your hotel lobby and back.

Ask for your free hotel transportation from- and to your local hotel with an online reservation. Or be informed about our very competative rates for the resorts out of town.

Instructor Development Course January

We want to congratulate all of our 4 students; Eric, Octavio, Nathan & Carlos Mejia

All 4 have been very working hard for the past time to pass the training process and we are proud to announce that all have passed comfortably.

I was shocked to hear one of you guys couldn’t go for his IE this time due to medical reasons.

We welcome the other three for now, and fully support you to get well prepared into the next IE!

Hello to the new Diversity baby

We like to warmly congratulate Donovan & Nicole Byrd with the birth of their healthy baby boy called <B>Bryson Byrd<B/>

Donovan & Nicole first dove with us in january 2007 and she discovered that she had to quit her reservation because of a very welcome surprise; her long awaited pregnancy.

After ’showing’ young Bryson Tortugas and Sabalos did she wisely decide to leave the diving for a little while up to Donovan.

After an exiting period Bryson made his appearance on October 6th 2007.

Being ‘officially’ our first Diversity baby, we decided to grant Bryson’s first water experience as the winning photo of last month’s photo contest held on our main page.

Nicole, Bryson & Donovan..

We wish you all the best.

the long wait

the happy family

Congratulations to a winner

Despite her physical restrictions did she have the courage to leave her wheelchair on the dry and attended for the first time in her life to a Discover Scuba Diving program with Carlos & Luis.

Not only did we have a great time showing her how to dive… we almost got her mistaken for a mermaid…
