Extreme cave and no-mount techniques

For highly experienced cave divers operating in tight, demanding passages.

Sidemount diving is one of our core specializations at CDT Mexico.

Our approach is built around precision, simplicity, and configurations that remain functional from basic dives to the most restrictive environments.
 

We have been actively diving sidemount since 2008 and have followed — and tested — every major evolution of sidemount systems and techniques. This experience allows us to focus on what consistently works in real diving, rather than adapting to trends or legacy setups.
 

Training places strong emphasis on minimalism, efficiency, and integration. From the very first donning sequence, equipment setup and procedures are taught as part of a coherent system, allowing divers to progress without having to relearn or redesign their configuration later.
 

We are highly specialized in sidemount for small and very restrictive environments, including advanced no-mount applications. While not every diver intends to reach that level, our courses are designed so that progression remains possible without changing fundamentals.
 

Instruction is direct and non-nonsense: every choice is explained, demonstrated, and validated in the water.

Training at CDT Mexico means learning sidemount with a long-term perspective, built for evolution rather than limitation.
