GVI MexicoDive center

GVI Mexico is a PADI Dive Center in Tulum built around marine conservation. Its pitch is divers who care about the reef as much as the dive itself, and participants can earn certifications including PADI's Coral Reef Restoration Diver specialty.

They also learn scientific underwater monitoring, which gives local partners data on how the coral is doing. Many of the divers are long-term volunteers in GVI's programs, and they help with a coral restoration project too. Emergency First Response is on offer, and courses run in English and Spanish.
