Cave diving is at the core of what we do at CDT Mexico.

Our courses are built around precision, discipline, and a clear understanding of why procedures exist—not the repetition of tradition for its own sake.
 

Training takes place in the cave systems of the Riviera Maya, home to the longest and most complex underwater caves in the world. These environments allow for progressive training, realistic problem-solving, and meaningful skill development.
 

Our teaching is direct and non-nonsense: every procedure is explained, justified, and tested in the water. The focus is on modern, efficient techniques, minimalist configurations, and methods that demonstrably work in real cave diving—not on legacy habits.
 

As Instructor Trainers and Evaluators, we train and assess both divers and instructors under the same standards. Since 2008, we have successfully trained hundreds of cave divers across all levels.
 

Our experience includes exploration and survey projects, as well as active specialization in very small cave and no-mount environments. This perspective informs how we teach precision, control, and adaptability for further and more advanced education.
 

Training at CDT Mexico means learning cave diving where experience, modern methods, and realistic expectations are fully aligned.
