For
most divers the thought of cave diving is mystifying and
intriguing and definitely taboo for those without the proper
training or experience. Our Cavern course is the first step in
learning more about Cavern exploration. This is also the first
step to "Intro to Cave Diving", and full Cave
Certification. Understanding about safety lines, air limits,
special equipment, the buddy system, lighting and safety
procedures are just a few of the topics covered in this specialty.
Open Water training is usually conducted in one of the Florida
Springs which we frequent on a regular basis. For some of the
clearest water in the world and an experience most will only dream
about, join one of our PADI Tech Instructors for this exciting
course.
The
area located south of the Mexican Yucatan peninsula has been
referred to as the Riviera Maya.
While being world renown for its beautiful beaches, this karsts
terrain hides some of the most highly decorated and largest
submerged cave systems in the world. |

Entrance to this underground realm is gained from surface

These pools, or Cenotes (Mayan for well), were generally
formed when the cave ceiling collapsed allowing the
underground river to reach the surface.

Other
entrances to this fabulous world is gained through solution
tubes formed by the ancient seas. One reason that many of the caves in this area have
remained pristine is the logistical requirements needed just to
get there.
