My experience at GVI in Puerto Morelos was wonderful. I learned so much about conservation during my stay, was able to significantly improve my diving ability and qualifications, and made new friends while living in a beautiful town. The staff were so knowledgeable and passionate about their work, and because of them I felt completely safe at all times, both while diving and living in Puerto Morelos. The program was well suited to what I was looking for and I really enjoyed learning the different species and becoming familiar with the reefs. I feel as if I developed a lot of skills, both personally and professionally, and would highly recommend the GVI Mexico program.

I love GVI Mexico and plan to come back to be with all these amazing people again.

From day one you feel very supported, as you start doing your courses it's very clear that the staff are very passionate and all they want is to help you reach your goals. This is an all diver base, because of that the staff take the time to plan and prepare our amazing daily schedules. I love GVI Mexico and plan to come back to be with all these amazing people again.
