What To Expect
Your adventure begins with your theory session and shallow-water training, held directly at Casa Cenote, a stunning open cenote surrounded by lush mangroves and crystal-clear water. Once you’re comfortable and ready, you’ll begin your first dive in the cenote — a calm and beautiful environment, perfect for beginners to enjoy their first moments underwater.
After a short surface interval to switch tanks, have water, a sandwich, and fresh fruit, your instructor will guide you to your second dive at Cuevitas Reef, located just a short boat ride from Tulum. There, you’ll explore vibrant coral formations and spot tropical fish, turtles, and stingrays in the warm, turquoise Caribbean Sea.
At Dive Machine, we are proud to be the only dive school in Playa del Carmen and Tulum designed with Universal Inclusion, offering adaptive scuba programs that allow divers of all abilities to experience the underwater world safely and comfortably.
Please note that after diving, you must wait at least 24 hours before flying

Participants in the First Time Diving – Tulum Dive Machine cannot fly in an airplane within 24 hours of their dive.
The main concern with scuba diving and flying is decompression sickness (DCS). Your body needs adequate time during an ascent to off-gas excess nitrogen, or you can form bubbles in your bloodstream, possibly leading to DCS.
