Become a certified diver in paradise. From $325 per person. We offer private open water certification course tours with complimentary pickup right from El Dorado Seaside Suites.
El Dorado Seaside Suites is an adults-only, all-inclusive boutique resort by Karisma on the Riviera Maya, offering suite-only accommodations with private terraces, indoor Jacuzzis, and the signature Gourmet Inclusive® experience across multiple restaurants and bars. The property draws discerning couples and honeymooners who prefer a more intimate scale without sacrificing luxury amenities. Positioned between Playa del Carmen and Puerto Aventuras, it is an ideal launchpad for Seth Dive's private cenote diving tours to both the northern and southern cenote corridors.
