  GUIDED CAVE DIVING

CERTIFIED CAVE DIVERS ONLY

The underwater cave systems of the Riviera Maya are complex and permanent lines are often placed well away from the cave entrance. In order to maximize your enjoyment and diving, we strongly suggest hiring a guide living locally who has in-depth knowledge of the caves and can suggest suitable dives.

If you are not certified we offer CAVE DIVER TRAINING, we are both UTD (Unified Team Diving) and NSS-CDS (National Speleological Society-Cave Diving Section) cave instructors and any training completion cards are issued by those agencies.

We have more then 2,000 cave dives in the Riviera Maya caves and our experience extends to Florida and Italy as well; we are continually developing new routes for our customers, as well as exploring new cenotes.

We can accompany you however you wish: we can be "team one", unloading you from many tasks, or we can just indicate suitable tie-offs and jumps, leaving you to lead the dive and explore from the front.

A valuable part of our relationship is discussion - we want to ensure you get the most out of your cave diving here, so let us know what you would like and we will do our utmost to exceed your expectations.

OUR PHILOSOPHY


Safety and cave conservation are just as important to us as your enjoyment. Out of respect for the divers and the caves, we believe a dive team should be no larger than 4 (included the guide). We can accommodate large groups by dividing them up into smaller teams, each with their own guide. This means we can arrange 2 dives in the same location with your friends, each group diving a different line. Small groups and comprehensive dive plans are essential to a safe and enjoyable dive; past accidents have taught us that large groups can easily get disoriented in the beautiful and complex local caves (also, do you really want to see 10 other divers in front of you???).

Mexican caves are very fragile and we must take care of them.
