THE CENOTES

World-class cave and cenote access

This Mexico-based class gives you access to the Yucatán’s flooded cave systems—crystal-clear water and dramatic formations that make practical nitrox training unforgettable.

THE SKILLSET

Enriched air across the full EAN range

The course qualifies divers to use enriched air nitrox from EAN 21 through EAN 100 and covers planning for dives to a maximum of 130 feet for non-staged-decompression dives—an essential technical foundation.

ALL-INCLUSIVE

Training, transfers and lodging handled

Designed as an immersive program, the package includes e‑learning plus training materials and licensing, daily transfers to the cenotes, airport transfers, accommodation in the dive house, and lunch on each diving day.

What the day feels like

What the three days feel like

Expect focused, practical days: e‑learning and classroom briefings pair with in-water sessions in cenotes. Over three days of roughly eight-hour training blocks, you’ll refine gas-planning and oxygen-management skills, practice enriched-air procedures across a wide mix range, and apply those techniques in cavern environments that illustrate why this course is the foundation for technical and CCR/SCR diving.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this course suits—and who should wait.

1
Aspiring technical diversA direct fit: this course is described as the foundation of a technical diving career and pairs well with additional decompression training for those pursuing CCR or SCR paths.
2
Experienced recreational diversSuitable for certified divers who already hold TDI Nitrox (or equivalent) and have the required logged dives; it advances gas-management skills for deeper, more complex dives.
3
Younger, supervised diversTeens can participate with parental consent—the minimum age is 18, but 15-year-olds may join with consent—so long as certification and logged-dive prerequisites are met.
4
Novice open-water diversNot ideal: there are explicit prerequisites (certification and a minimum number of logged open-water dives) that make this unsuitable for true beginners.
