We only complete initial training in the US where high, as well as low flow, systems are available.We believe it is highly unfair to the student to do so in other areas, no matter how beautiful, with low flow only.Neither do we “farm out” our students to help pay for an out of country trip.Your choice; do you want a pretty dive, or a well rounded & complete training in a broad array of cave systems

All students are trained by an instructor at our facility with over 2

2 years of cave diving experience.

Cave trips to Mexico
YOU pay what WE pay!We don’t get comp for your stay or dives.We’ve been diving the Yucatan caves since the late 80’s and have NEVER charged for guide service or made a profit on our  former students stay. NEVER!Join us
