diving cenotes, where to stay?

Hi,
I'm going to Yucatan this November.
Can you recommend a diving center and a place to stay? I am more interested
in cenotes diving than reef, but plan to do both.
Is Akumal Adventures and Cabanas Copal worth diving with and living?
What divesites do you think are the best?

best,
Filip

When we did the Senotes, we stayed at one of the hotels in Playa Del
Carmen (one of the beach hotels) for diving the caves we hired a French
man by the name of Harvey, he did all the mapping of the Senotes i think,
he lived a little out of "Carmen" at a place called something "Venturas",
people were swimming with Dolphins there if i remember correctly.
We would drive of into the Jungle in his Ute, just him, me and my wife.

Just back from Yucatan. Dos Ojos is a must see Cenote. You can dive
all the major cenotes from Playa del Carmen which is a fun town.
Beach Divers, whose office is on the park next to the ferry terminal,
will set up cenote dives with great guides for a discount. Tell them
Thomas from Nuevo Mexico sent you. For a more idylic beach setting
Tulum is another option. From Tulum you may be a little closer to dos
ojos etc. They may also do Cenotes further south than the Playa ops.
Take thermal protection, water temps are 77 degrees in Sep. A 7mil
wetsuit would be nice.

Hi

I can really recomend www.divemike.com in Playa del Carmen. Mike is probably
the most serious dive operator,instructor (cave) we met in Playa. His staff
is also very skilled, and he is not doing it the Mexican way (saving on
staff and boat crew).
After a reef-dive we found a group of divers floating around, without any
means for signaling to the boat, wich we found a few miles away.
(Phantomdivers).
You can find cheap hotels on the mainstreet of Playa just 100m from
DiveMike.
Mike is Danish.
