Cave Diving
As another type of technical diving, cave diving combines the thrill of spelunking with breathing compressed air. Special training is required, and should never be undertaken without expert instruction, as the dangers as well as rewards are many.
Freshwater Cave Diving
Crystal clear water and cave formations makes the cave dive a spectacular experience of near weightlessness; the water clarity is so perfect in places like Mexico's Yucatan peninsula, 'Cenote Diving' that divers feel as though they are suspended in air. Florida in the United States also has an extensive fresh water cave system to explore.
Cave and cavern trips are available from our partners at The Abyss Dive Center and Training Facility in Playa del Carmen, Mexico and the Cenote Dive Center in Tulum.
Saltwater Cave Diving
Usually undertaken as part of a dive to a reef or wall dive, visiting a cave can be an incredible highlight of a scuba dive: creatures normally seen far below the limits of scuba diving often live in the low light of caves, and at night, these rocky openings give shelter to fish species large and small.
Egypt and Belize's Blue Holes are popular dives for cave exploration.
