Cozumel Scuba Diving Rates-Buena Ventura Diving

	VENTURA NAH - Owner Born and raised in Acanceh, Yucatan, Ventura made his way to the Island in 1983. He worked in hotels, learned English and fell in love with diving. He was a deckhand for 2 years under the watchful eye of his brother-in-law, then made his way up to boat captain and finally got wet and became a PADI divemaster.
In 1996 he opened Buena Ventura Diving with a small list of faithful clients and the support of Cozumel Vacation Rentals. Over the next couple of years Ventura chartered boats for small groups of divers and over time his client base grew. Most every diver came back to dive with him and he took the risk and bought his own boat, the Ecodiver in 2001. September 2006 marked ten years in business, still growing, still learning every day.
	HEIDI AQUINO DE NAH - Owner's wife! Born in California, Heidi met Ventura here in Cozumel in 2000 and moved that same year to the Island.
She is a PADI certified instructor, wife, mom, cook, "sales" manager and diver. She has been an active part of Buena Ventura Diving for over five years.
	VICTOR RAMIREZ - boat captain Victor was born in Peto, Yucatan and made his way to the Island with his family when he was 17. He started as a deckhand when he was 19 and passed his captains exam at the age of 22.
Feb. 2007 marked Victor's fifth year with Buena Ventura Diving. He is truly a blessing to the owners and the backbone of Buena Ventura Diving. Victor loves being out on the water and navigating the seas!
	GABRIEL SANTANA - instructor and dive master Gabriel is our official "Cozumeleño", born and raised here on the island. He worked for four years as a skipper when he was young, then got certificed as a dive master. He worked in a well known dive shop for nine years, learning the ropes and creating a name for himself in the dive community. Last year he became a PADI instructor
He is a dedicated dive master, a people pleaser and sincere in his desire to make our clients happy.
	ECODIVER - the best boat ever! Also known as "Chi Chan" which means "little" in Mayan, the Ecodiver became part of the Buena Ventura Diving team in 2001. Ventura quickly started fixing her up and bought a new outboard engine in 2002. She seats six divers comfortably, has shade had padded benches.
Ecodiver is kept in immaculate condition. In January 2007 she was taken out of the water for her mini make-over...complete engine overhaul and a fresh coat of paint. She purrs like a spoiled cat!
