Cave Diving in The Riviera Maya
Guided Cave Diving in Playa del Carmen for Certified Cave Divers
If you are are certified cave diver, and would like to hire a dive center to be your home base and to provide some amazing guided cave dives in Playa del Carmen, Mexico for you, then you've come to the right place.
Our Cave Diving Trips are fully private. If you have a group of more than 3 divers, additional guide(s) will be brought on. We never have more than 3 divers per guide.
We provide guided trips for certified divers based on certification level and experience. To dive in caves you must be at minimum Intro to Cave or Full Cave certified. If you are not, but would like to be, check out the cave and technical diving programs we offer and teach.
Why Hire a Cave Diving Guide in Playa del Carmen?
We realize that if you are a certified cave diver, you don't have to hire a guide for most cenotes, however, due to the complex navigation and in some cenotes the location of the main cave line, it makes sense to hire a cave guide who is knowledgeable in the cave systems you will be diving in.
As cave guides and cave diving instructors, we don't want to be holding your hand. And you don't want that either. We can either lead the dive or simply be another member of the team who knows where to tie off, make jumps, etc.
We will provide transportation to and from the cenotes, tanks, weight (if needed), emergency O2 equipment, and handle all the logistics of the dives.
Some of the caves we visit are:
- Minotauro
- Tajma Ha
- Ponderosa
- Xtabay & Chikin Ha
- Xuunan Ha
- Aktun Ha
- Chan Hol
- Dreamgate
- Xulo
- Nohoch Nah Chich
- Cocom
- String of Pearls
- Many Others..
