Recreational to Advanced Cave Instruction

Instructor training and evaluations

Recreational instructor development
Instructor training at CDT Mexico is built around competence, accountability, and a deep understanding of what is being taught.
We train instructors at all levels, from recreational programs to advanced technical and cave instruction. TDI Cave Instructor training is a core specialty, and this experience directly informs how we educate instructors in all other disciplines.
Recreational instructor candidates benefit from our technical and cave background, gaining a clearer understanding of buoyancy, equipment configuration, risk management, and decision-making. Instruction goes beyond standards compliance, focusing on why skills and procedures exist and how to teach them effectively.
Instructor courses can be combined with technical or cave training, allowing candidates to progress efficiently while maintaining consistent methodology across levels. This structure supports long-term development rather than isolated certifications.
We also include accommodation options during instructor development courses, allowing candidates to focus fully on training and evaluation.
Training at CDT Mexico prepares instructors to teach with confidence, clarity, and responsibility—grounded in real-world diving experience and high instructional standards.
