Scuba Diving with the Best Instructors in Playa del Carmen
Beyond Diving was started with one purpose in mind. To give each one of our guests and students the best diving experience and the best training. Basically, to create the dive center that we ourselves would like to go diving with.
To me, scuba diving is not simply a job. It is a way of life. I love sharing my passion for diving with the world. I believe that if more people become scuba divers, the better the world will be. Scuba Diving is a sustainable, low impact activity that gives us the opportunity to learn about the environment while exploring and having a great time.
With Beyond Diving, you will get personalized attention and you will be treated like a part of our family. When you leave, you will know that you have a scuba diving family here in Playa del Carmen.
It goes without saying that Beyond Diving is committed to doing our part to help end the hatred and violence against members of the LGBT Community. Beyond Diving is an inclusive dive center, and we do not discriminate against anybody regardless of their race, religion, sexual orientation or identity.

Sandra Amaya
Certified since: 2014
Favorite Site: Anything with beautiful fish!
Sandra will most likely be the first person you will meet at the shop. She has years of experience working in the entertainment industry as an artist manager (yes, you have heard of most of them) and record label manager.
With a degree in International Business, it is quite safe to say that Sandra is the brains of this operation!
Although she is a new diver, don’t let that fool you! She has more knowledge about diving than a lot of instructors out there.
Piggy
Piggy is the coolest dog ever! If you've met her, then you know. If you haven't, then you're totally missing out. She is such a great dog that we believe that she might be a direct descendant of Anubis. She loves to play, and she loves to swim and run!
