Cave and technical diving course dates: join a listed date and pay the group rate
Spots are open on the listed cave diving course dates in the Playa del Carmen and Tulum area. Expect warm, clear water, comfortable training conditions, and a new cave or dive site on every training day. Cave and technical diving is a team task. If you do not have a buddy for cave or technical training, the scheduled courses are a chance to learn in a group. We work through group scenarios in practice. So you learn not only to be an excellent diver but also to work confidently in a team in an overhead environment.
The rule of the group rate
- Listed dates: the group rate, even if you come alone and nobody joins. $298 per training day for the base courses and $348 for Trimix, DPV and advanced cave courses.
- Your own dates: the individual rate, $348 or $398 per training day. If someone joins you, everybody pays the group rate.
- Courses in English and Russian. Daily transfer from your hotel in Playa del Carmen included.
