Comments	Dive Aventuras has an equipment repair man on-site. Armando was fabulous! He fixed my husband's BC between dives after finding a corroded valve that was causing the BC to continually fill with air. What's amazing is the inventory of parts he has (not secondary market parts, but brand parts). He only charged $15 for this complex repair and had it done by the 2nd dive. My computer battery died and he fixed it promptly as well. Floy and Carlos, divemasters, were friendly, approachable. I received a left ear barotrauma in the cenotes dive, and Mike Doody was wonderful in helping us contact a physician in Playa and used his own cell phone to contact DAN. This is the best dive shop we've been in from the Caribbean to Indonesia! We saw far too many lionfish, and the dive shop is actively involved and knowledgable in reporting/capturing/finding a solution to this problem. Dive shop staff picked us up at our hotel promptly at 830a daily (10 minute walk).
