Cavern / Intro Cave Playa del Carmen?

[lexa]

I would definitely recommend Tristan Termat (https://www.facebook.com/DivingMexicoTristan). Super nice dude and really good instructor. Backmount/sidemount. I did my full cave with him. Protec is cool place too. Steve Martin is usually in Playa during the winter as well.

I did my Cavern/Intro with Santiago when he was working with Protec, and all the rest with Nando at Protec. He's doing other things now, but I was very happy with Protec. As mentioned, Tristan is a good guy too.

Steve Gerrard is a very relaxed and very experienced instructor. Highly recommended.

I cannot speak from personal experience, but I received excellent recommendations for Bill Phillips at Speleotech in Tulum.
I have not taken his course but have rented gear at his establishment. & I have dove with this graduates.

Just a quick update: my buddy and I have signed up with Nico Casella for five days of cavern / intro cave. He came across as very professional, flexible with respect to planning the training, and at the same time serious about not cutting corners. I'm very much looking forward to this. Now I have three months left to get my sidemount skills up to cave quality. I'm trying to work with a local instructor, but it has been a bit frustrating just to get something scheduled to get into the water. I may just have to do a long weekend in Florida if I can't do it here near Michigan.

We can gladly help you with that in Florida! You are going to have an awesome training with Nico, he is great!

You will be very happy with your choice to train with Nico. He really loves what he does.

Did Cavern/Intro about 18months ago with Nico, went back about a year ago and did full cave with him. I will be returning to PDC in about 6 weeks and will be diving with Nico again. Can't recommend him enough! Patient, thorough, and thoughtful.

Steve Gerrard is also a world-famous midfielder, which cannot be discounted.

I'm quite sure I'm the first person to make that observation. Quite sure.
