Pure Dive Training: No Certification, But Extremely Valuable Experience

Buoyancy, Trim, and Propulsion

Buoyancy, trim, and propulsion are essential skills that form the foundation of every diver’s career. These basic skills cannot be emphasized enough, yet many divers jump into advanced courses before they’re truly prepared.

Starting overhead or technical training without mastering these fundamentals is not only a waste of time and money, but it’s also highly unsafe. This workshop is strongly recommended for recreational divers who want to improve their core skills and be ready for technical training. Proper buoyancy and trim are crucial to handling the tasks required in mixed gas or cave/wreck training.

Survey and Exploration

Every time you enter a cave for the first time, you become an explorer. While many cave divers enjoy following established paths, others aim to discover uncharted areas. If virgin cave exploration is your ultimate goal, it requires dedication and hard work.

Start with proper basic training, then spend hours in the water refining your technique. Only then will you be ready to search for new passages. There’s no rushing ahead—laying a line without understanding its potential direction is pointless.

Personally, I don’t believe in teaching exploration or advanced techniques to divers I’ve never dived with. I need to be confident in their skills and mental capacity. If we haven’t dived together yet, come for some dives, and we’ll see if it’s a good fit. After all, there’s no better place than Mexico, with its warm waters and infinite possibilities, to begin your journey. Depending on your time and skill level, the workshop can range from basic line-laying and survey techniques to scouting the jungle for new cenotes. Get your boots, GPS, and machete ready!
