Koox Diving, also styled Ko’ox, is a dive and adventure operator with origins in Tulum. Its current website highlights Baja California Sur expeditions while still advertising selected cenote dives, Caribbean reef experiences and courses in the Riviera Maya, which are the focus of this profile.

Updated October 13, 2026.

Cenotes, reefs and training options

The Riviera Maya pages separate cenote experiences from ocean and reef diving, and list cavern tours, cave diving and training as distinct products. They are different environments, not versions of the same trip.

• Cenote and cavern experiences: the site should match your certification, recent diving and confidence.
• Ocean and reef trips: departure point, boat and site depend on the booked day.
• Courses: training toward a specific qualification, with its own schedule and preparation.
• Snorkeling or discovery dives: for non-certified visitors, booked as a separate category.

Cavern diving is not full cave diving

Koox describes its guided cavern experiences as being for certified recreational divers, with Open Water or equivalent required for many routes. Cave diving and cave training are advertised separately, and eligibility for a cavern tour is not qualification for full cave exploration; having a guide does not remove an activity’s training requirements.

When you inquire, state your exact certification, number of logged dives, most recent dive and any overhead-environment experience. Groups with mixed qualifications should ask about separate or suitable shared itineraries.

Equipment and what your quote includes

Ask for an itemized quote covering rental equipment, tanks, weights, site entry, boat fees, transport and refreshments, and mention anything you will bring yourself. Send accurate wetsuit, BCD and footwear sizes. For a course, check which learning materials, practical sessions and certification fees are included, and plan training days before booking other excursions.

Responsible expectations

Site access, visibility and wildlife vary in natural settings. Follow the guide’s briefing and do not touch formations or marine life. Disclose any health concern during the operator’s screening; this directory is not a substitute for the instructor’s assessment.

Getting there

The published Tulum address is on Avenida Cobá Sur, between Calle 7 and 9 Oriente, and the contact page offers Tulum and other Riviera Maya meeting points. An office address may not be your departure point, and some Riviera Maya trips involve a road journey or a different departure port, so allow for those stages.

Before you book

Koox’s catalog spans several regions, and dives, prices and inclusions change. Mention Riviera Maya in your inquiry, and check the date, meeting point, itinerary, total price and cancellation terms in writing before sending a deposit.
