Caverns exists in many areas where scuba divers venture – from freshwater springs to volcanic island walls and limestone coasts. In these locations you’ll find large, dark caverns that seem incredibly inviting, yet are potentially dangerous. The PADI Cavern Diver Specialty course gives you the knowledge and skills to explore caverns correctly – allowing you to enter far enough for adventure, but staying within the light zone for an easy exit to open water.
Here in the Yucatan Peninsula, we are lucky enough to have dozens of caverns open to certified divers. They are safe with easy access and filled with ancient wonders that will blow your mind! Mexico is the best place in the world for cavern diving and training.
