We are an eco minded crew who can point out any fish or coral you would like to know from having monitored the reef with Global Vision International and Amigos de Sian Kaán. Or we can put our slates away and just dive for fun!! We love to take you to the cenotes, on Bullshark dives and our favourite; the Puerto Morelos shipwreck. (We are the only crew diving this wreck out of Playa del Carmen). The Mama Vina wreck here in Playa is also really cool and it's just a short trek to Cozumel for amazing reef and wall diving.
Discovers are more than welcome, the greener the better, we enjoy a challenge and love introducing newbies to our underwater world!
Limited timescales are not a problem, we will do our best to show you as much as possible in the time you have with tailored packages.
(All our prices include equipment rental)
Dive industry professionals are welcome to discounted outlet stock.

At Latin Odyssey, creating spectacular, luxury travel experiences to South and Central America is a labour of love. We specialise in South and Central America because we believe it’s the most breath taking and diverse continent in the world. Whether it’s scuba-diving in the deep blue off the Belizean Cayes, dancing on the streets during the Rio carnival or seeing the sunrise at Machu Picchu in Peru, there’s something for everyone.

We’ve spent the last ten years searching out the very best that Latin America has to offer and have consistently focussed our attention on three values: quality, authenticity and intimacy.

We take immense pride in the service we offer and make a point of working with likeminded people. That’s how we can guarantee that every aspect of your luxury tailor made holiday, from the hotels the activities to the private guides and transfers will be stamped with the same high level of quality.
