Diving Courses
From recreational to professional and technical training, our courses are designed to support every step of your diving journey, whether you’re discovering the ocean for the first time or pushing the limits of exploration.
Precision. Depth. Mastery.
Technical
Playa del Carmen is one of the world’s best playgrounds for technical diving. Home to both the legendary Cenotes with their overhead environments and the deep walls of El Cantil, the dramatic drop-off between Playa and Cozumel. For divers who crave depth, challenge, and precision, our technical courses open up a whole new world of exploration. Learn advanced skills like decompression diving, sidemount, and gas management under expert guidance. Whether you’re venturing deeper, diving longer, or entering overhead environments, our training combines rigorous standards with a strong focus on safety, planning, and control.
Tec Sidemount
Redefine Your Dive Profile with Sidemount
The TDI Sidemount Diver course teaches divers how to use the sidemount configuration – wearing cylinders mounted on the sides rather than on the back. Originally developed for cave diving, sidemount has become increasingly popular in both recreational and technical diving due to its comfort, modularity, and redundancy.
Prerequisites:
- RMinimum certification: Open Water Diver (TDI, PADI, SSI, or equivalent)
- RMinimum age: 18 years (or 15 with parental consent, according to standards)
- RNo prior technical diving experience required (Nitrox certification is a plus)
TEC SIDEMOUNT INCLUDES
Cavern
Discover the Thrill of Cavern Diving
This course introduces divers to cavern diving – in areas illuminated by natural light and within close proximity to the exit. The focus is on safety, use of guide lines, and basic techniques for confined environments.
Prerequisites:
- ROpen Water Diver (or equivalent)
- R18 years old (or 15 with parental consent)
- RGood control of buoyancy and propulsion techniques
CAVERN INCLUDES
Intro to cave
Step Deeper into the Underground
This course is the logical continuation of the Cavern Diver program. It allows divers to go deeper into a cave system, beyond the daylight zone, but without passing through tight or complex passages.
Prerequisites:
- RCertified TDI Cavern Diver
- RGood physical condition and mastery of equipment configuration (often taught in sidemount or doubles)
- RMinimum age: 18 years
INTRO TO CAVE INCLUDES
Full Cave
From Diver to Explorer: Go Full Cave
This course enables divers to become autonomous cave divers, capable of planning and executing complex dives in caves that involve multiple navigations, restrictions, circuits, and traverses (jumps, gaps, T’s, loops, etc.).
Prerequisites:
- RCertified TDI Intro to Cave Diver
- RSolid experience in overhead environments
- RComplete mastery of buoyancy control, trim, and emergency procedures
