Punta Sur Divers started as a partnership in 2017, but in mid 2025 Jorge took control of the whole operation.
Cubano
Dive Master Cubano doesn’t need much of an intro. He is kind of an institution in the Caribbean underworld. The turtles and nurse sharks know him very well and greet him with, “It’s you?… Again?”
Cubano got hooked on scuba during militarized Red Cross Lifeguard training in Varadero Cuba way back 1987. He became a certified ISSI scuba diver in 1995 and recently received a PADI diploma for 15+ years of guiding. When he first moved to Cozumel he worked at Alex & Alex, then Blue Angel under two different admins and most recently in Tres Pelícanos. Proudly born Cuban and nationalized Mexican, Cubano has been living, diving and loving Cozumel for over 20+ years with over 20,000+ LOGGED DIVES! He is certified PADI Divemaster and Full Cave Guide by NSS-CDS. He is a certified Scuba Nature Guide by SECTUR (Mexico’s ministry of tourism) and is up to date as a a committed Cozumel National Marine Park guide. He speaks English and Spanish (with a Cuban-Yucatecan flavor). He has dived in Cuba, Cozumel, Mexican Pacific and South Africa.
His scuba guiding style is known and very unique. He is very chill and calm underwater, and has a long list of divers who love his demeanor and style. He keeps life simple: dive+swim +bike+run+eat+sleep … and repeat. He knows all the “old school” secret scuba spots on the island, is as hard core as they come, and has been diving non-stop for more than 20 years while training year round for UltraTriathlons, Ironmans, Half Ironmans and Olympic distance triathlons. His smile says it all. He is a kind man and a friend to many. He is a father of two and the proud grandfather of the girl that makes his eyes shine. His side project is an airbnb jungle home @Casa.Caney where you can stay if you are looking for a secret hiding spot in the jungle. They airbnb a private palapa house on his unique eco-property.
Cubano is our Operations Manager and very proud co-founder and owner of Punta Sur Divers. He is a respected Cozumel local with the most participation and first place wins in triathlon competitions.
