Brisa Caribe owner Doug Wasmuth is an avid diver who chose to settle and build his dream home in Puerto Aventuras in part because the diving on the Mayan Riviera is so easy and abundant.  With excellent ocean diving virtually in front of his villa, world class cave and cavern diving right out the back door, and diving in Cozumel within easy reach for a day trip, this strategic location is a scuba divers paradise. 

If you are staying at villa Brisa Caribe it is not uncommon to see Doug doing a shore dive right in front of the villa.

Living here year round and actively involved with the diving community, I am well placed to assist our guests with their diving needs.   I am happy to share with guests my local knowledge so you can get the most out of your Riviera Maya diving experience. 


As a diver, you will appreciate villa Brisa Caribe and the other properties in Puerto Aventuras. From all of our Puerto Aventuras rentals it is a short walk to the dock where the boat will pick you up for your ocean diving.  Diving is so close that your non-diving guests might be able to watch you from the terrace while they sip margaritas. If that isn’t enough, you will find cenotes, which are the fresh water sink holes that open into  cavern or cave diving, less than a 10 minute drive away. My villa Brisa Caribe is set up for divers. Here you will find a wash tank and drying area for your dive gear right in the courtyard, making cleaning and storage easy.

With most of the dive sites so close to Puerto Aventuras, the non-divers in your group won’t be left alone all day while you are out diving. Not that they should become bored with so much to do right in Puerto Aventuras and villa Brisa Caribe offering so many amenities.

For those renting one of our other properties you too will be close to great ocean and cenote diving.  There are dive shops in Playa del Carmen, Akumal, Tankha and Tulum.  All of these shops can offer both diving and training. 

For the serious techie diver there are a few excellent shops with world recognized explorers offering professional training and guiding services.
