Founders and owners
of Eladam SA de CV, a Mexican joint-stock company
operating under the name of "Cave Heaven".
Having
done our cave training in northern Florida, we
came to the Riviera Maya in the Yucatan Peninsula
of Mexico to dive the incredible underwater cave formations
of this region. We are UTD (Unified Team Diving) Cave 1 and NSS-CDS full cave instructors and, when not guiding certified
cave divers or teaching, we dive for fun in the
cave systems of the Riviera Maya.
We
decided to pursue our instructor rating with the
NSS-CDS, which required a two year period of internship
assisting other instructors so as to gain experience. We were mentored by some of the best cave
instructors and explorers of the Riviera Maya and Florida. We then studied and trained to become UTD instructors, again no easy shortcuts!
There are certainly easier and faster ways of becoming a cave instructor, but we wanted to be fully prepared for the demands of teaching cave diving at the highest levels.
