Cave Ha Diving Mexico: the dive center in Playa del Carmen
Cave Ha Diving Mexico is a dive center in Playa del Carmen, Riviera Maya, Quintana Roo. It is about 60 km from Cancun International Airport and 30 km from Puerto Aventuras; visits by appointment. We guide and teach divers from the first recreational course to cave and rebreather diving. Cave Ha Diving Mexico also sells rebreathers as the dealer and rents equipment and fills gases for every configuration.

- Daily diving in the cenotes and on the reefs from Playa del Carmen to Tulum: recreational, technical and cave level.
- On request, dive trips for groups of divers and their families.

3 cave divers, all OWSDI and members of CREER, on a DPV for the first time at CREER Community Day, Cenote El Eden, Ponderosa system.
30 min briefing on land, then 70 min in the water, max 12 m: speed control, moving as a team on the line, and towing. Each diver towed a buddy and was towed, with their own SUEX XK clipped behind.
Kim Davidsson @kimelvikingo led the second DPV group. Thanks to @creercavesafety for the day. Full video: link in bio.

Two primary reels on the main line, 20 cm apart. Ours was there first. The reel check on the way out does not change: find your own reel, confirm your own markers, ignore everything else, then reel in.
