WELCOME TO CAVE HEAVEN!!!

We are Emanuela Bertoni and Adam Korytko, two NSS-CDS instructors who provide cave diver training and guided cave diving services in the Riviera Maya in Mexico, where you can dive all year round.

As PADI instructors, we also provide all levels of open water courses, ocean diving and cavern tours for open water divers. If you choose not to stay in a hotel, we offer accommodation in air conditioned condo units with pool and hot tubs, overlooking the golf course in Puerto Aventuras, a fantastic location just a few minutes from the marina, the beaches and the cenotes.

All our services are personalized for the individual, couple or group, and we cater to English, Spanish, Italian and French speakers.

We firmly believe that diving is fun, yet this enjoyment can only be had if the approach is one where safety is a key ingredient. We live here and dive the ocean and the caves in the Riviera Maya every day, so we are intimately familiar with the locations we will take you to; we are also authorized cavern guides for the Yucatan peninsular.

An awesome feature for open water divers are the cenotes, a unique environment where you can see some of the beautiful underwater rock formations (speleothems) usually reserved for certified cave divers as well as amazing light effects, without compromising your safety or comfort level.

When teaching, we place great emphasis on trim and propulsion techniques, essential to a safe dive in the ocean, caverns and low-to-no flow caves in Mexico, where a careless fin-kick can damage corals or quickly silt out an overhead passage.

When guiding certified cave divers, we do not believe in “trust me” dives. We will always ensure that every diver is within his/her comfort zone before beginning a dive, we do not merely have divers follow us. We expect divers to be self-reliant, to place their own markers when in doubt; we will show you some fantastic dives, it is up to you to remain in charge of your own dive. We can either simply indicate suitable tie-offs and let you run the dive, or we can lead from the front, having provided you with a clear and safe dive plan that fits your level of experience.

We will not take more than three cave divers per guide at any one time, therefore the two of us can cater for up to six divers. Should your group be larger, we will provide additional cave instructors.

Why only cave instructors? For your safety; we believe that cave divers can know systems well, yet a cave instructor is uniquely positioned and trained to cope with unforeseen problems which may affect the safety of the whole team.

Enjoyment and safety go hand in hand in all forms of diving. We hope our philosophy fits your requirements - if so, please contact us to discuss your next diving vacation in Mexico on the Riviera Maya.

Hasta luego!
