Diving Experts

We are a group of explorers, professionals and friends who have decided to pursue a common dream.​

With over 20 years of experience traveling the world’s oceans, caves and caverns, our mission not only is to discover and share our knowledge along the way, but also to document and bring others with us in order to experience the life only the first explorers ever had.

We encourage and share our passion to everyone who enjoys diving in every possible way; exploring, capturing and most importantly, caring for the most beautiful underwater sceneries and, many times, the most challenging ones.

All of this fulfills our aim to promote the importance of healthy ecosystems, from sea to underwater caves. PEOPLE PROTECT WHAT THEY LOVE which is why we are committed to take you with us to the most extraordinary places in order for you to discover, learn, fall in love and recognize the vital importance of preserving these one of a kind locations. High level training, exclusive expeditions, professional photography and filmmaking are some of our tools.

Why dive with us?

Open water or cave dives available.

It is always recommended to hire a local guide or instructor because it requires knowledge of the local sites, weather and sea conditions to properly plan and execute a technical dive, not to mention the strong currents that are always present here.

We have over 20 years of industry experience behind us, so even with the most difficult and challenging dives, we are more than happy to help you. Of course, we'll arrange everything to make your experience as comfortable as possible, but if you're ready for adventure, let's sit down, talk and make a plan.

Cave diving requires extensive preparation, precise logistics and, most importantly, guides and professionals who are familiar with the protocols and know the caves inside out, not to mention the fact that a local is likely to show you the most interesting and often hidden spots. We are fully committed to safety and therefore take the necessary measures to make these dives more enjoyable.

Quintana Roo is home to the most extensive underwater cave systems in the world, Playa del Carmen is surrounded by more than 500 km of labyrinths of caves and passages decorated with amazing formations, ancient artifacts, ice age fossils and beautiful haloclines. The water temperature is around 24°C all year round. Some of these caves are less than an hour from the store.
