We are just trying to provide some information for potential students about technical and cave diving instructors. It may be an easy or difficult process. Both of us chose to complete the challenging task of becoming cave diving and technical dive instructor instructors.



Over a decade ago, we started diving and fell in love with it. After our first dive off the regulator in the pool, it was clear that this was going be a passion. Before we went to the Sea of Cortez to do our check-dive, all of our gear was purchased. We knew that we wanted to return to Mexico for another dive trip after our check-in weekend. Our first year of diving in panama saw us log over 100 dives. We were so passionate about diving that we decided to share it with others.

We began diving over a decade ago and quickly fell in love with the sport. It became apparent after that first breath off a regulator in the pool that this was going to be a passion. We bought all of our gear before we even headed to the Sea of Cortez for our checkout dives! After returning from our checkout dive weekend, we knew we couldn�t wait for another trip to Mexico to dive again. We started diving the waters of Panama and ended up logging over 100 dives our first year as divers. Our passion for diving had taken us over so much that we decided we wanted to help pass it along to others.

Sunset is a magical time to go out on the water. The sun turns gold, painting the sky with a variety of colors and hues that seem almost unbelievable. It's impossible not to be taken by it. The beautiful sunsets, ocean air, and vast sky will allow you to connect with nature. This will give you a sense of calm and relaxation that few people get to experience. A sunset trip will help calm your mind, and give you the chance to take in the beauty of the sunset.
