We did not make the rules for Guided Cavern Tours, these are the acceptable standards set by the Cave Industry after reviewing accidents. These standards are set for the safety of the divers and the guides and to insure the safest diving possible. We ask that you dive within them and use services that use these as a minimum safety standard.

Cavern Guide Courses - The Riviera Maya has seen an increase in cavern diving over the last number of years which of course starts making an impact on the environment and the safety of divers involved. The goal of this course is to raise awareness of guides and divers alike to insure that we can maintain safe learning experiences in our tours.
