The little guy doesn’t always come last in Playa del Carmen

As a second year sponsor for Taste of Playa, we can say that our support has helped us two fold while supporting the community and supporting the Riviera Maya.

The Abyss Dive Center opened in 1995 on the beaches of Playa del Carmen.  As the dive center grew, the coast of the Mayan Riviera grew and we are happy to say that we have stretched our business along the coast from Playa to Tulum in an effort to support the interest in the area.

When the Taste of Playa sponsorship opportunity came our way we jumped at it, as we think that supporting the Riviera Maya, the small businesses that have built the Riviera Maya and those who took the risk to set up shop in the early years, should all have an opportunity to shine and ‘shout about’ what they do and how well they do it.  Being a small business it is important to support our counterparts, in every way that we can.

The event day was spectacular and it was nice to see old faces, new faces, our customers, our staff and our friends gathered in one place.  Stories and food were shared, restaurants that we have supported for many years through client referrals, through their support of our dive events and through just sharing business experiences made this for us, a very special day.

For our dive instructors, they were able to taste some restaurants that they had never gone to, for my family we were able to taste and then plan where we wanted to go for our next family dinner.   It was a great way to learn about the new players in town and introduce ourselves as their neighbour and supporter.

Supporting the Taste of Playa was a great addition to our community events, and we hope to be there in 2010 with more of our customers, more of our friends and most of all, more tickets so we can have more tastes and food experiences!  Ask the committee how you can support as we, as a little guy, felt that our support had a huge impact!
