Cave Explorations Cave Diving Training - 77725 Playa del Carmen

If you are looking to "earn" your cave diving certification then look no further. Harry Gust with Cave Explorations is the only place to go. Harry has a to the point teaching method that goes hand in hand with the whole cave diving mindset. He gives you the information you need in a clear and concise manner. His teaching style is well thought out and systematic, just like cave diving itself. Everything that he teaches you has a reason behind it and Harry is very well versed at being able to explain that reasoning so that you clearly understand the information. When he is finished explaining a topic you have not only learned the information but you also know why. To dive a cave with Harry you will see his respect for the processes and more importantly the cave itself. By time you have completed the course he will have passed this level of respect for the caves along, as well as the often overlooked step of being able to think like a cave diver. Harry is not just in this to certify students to cave dive. His ultimate goal is to create intelligent, safe cave divers that respect the sport and everything that goes with it.

Thanks to Harry Gust for the 2 days TDI evaluation Cave Stage instructor course. Harry is professional and experienced instructor trainer that helps you solve all the problems. Even I after 30 years of diving, 20 years of teaching and thousands of dives, I got to learn a lot more. Great job !! Max Ardizzoni

I took my stage diving class with Cave Explorations and highly recommend the class to anyone interested in stage diving. The class was taught in a professional manner and is very comprehensive. I enjoyed training with Harry and am looking forward to my next trip to Mexico.

Beautiful dives with an amazing instructor! Harry went above and beyond as an instructor to prepare me for cave diving. The cenotes we dove were far more impressive than I had imagined. I highly recommend Cave Explorations to any diver looking to get into the world of cavern and cave diving. Without a doubt, I'm a better diver for diving with Harry.

I was trained by Harry Gust in Essential Skills all the way through Full Cave. I’m a scuba instructor for a few agencies and I believe that was some of the best, if not the best scuba training I’ve ever had. I highly recommend doing the Essential Skills first even if you may not think you need it. I’m looking forward to doing more cave training/diving with Harry in the future.

I just finished my TDI Intro to Tech and Full Cave course with Harry Gust and Cave Explorations. I’m really glad that I did my Intro to Tech course to learn sidemount skills before doing my cave course -without it, I probably wouldn’t have felt so comfortable during the cave portion of my training. Harry is an excellent instructor. It’s obvious from the start that he has a lot of experience in this field, as every lesson has a clear purpose and objective to reach. I improved dramatically under Harry’s supervision, and I look forward to improving more, as I’ve already booked some extra fun dives with him next week. Cave diving requires quality and a high level of attentiveness, especially from the instructor, so I highly recommend going with Harry and Cave Explorations.

Overall, this was the best training I’ve ever received. You won’t simply learn the “how to” cave dive, but most importantly he guide you and help you question yourself on the “why” of everything you do underwater. In my opinion, this is what sets him apart from all the other instructors out there. One of the things I really appreciated is that Harry will teach you the right way to do things, but he will also explain to you what everyone else is doing around you so that when the class is over and that you are diving without an instructor, you will know all the dos and don’ts and the tips and tricks, in and out of the water. I would recommend Harry to anyone who is looking for an instructor that will focus on you understanding the reasons and rationales behind everything you do. Believe me, it will stick to you for the rest of your whole diving career.

Here are some things about Harry: 1. He packs years of cave diving and exploration experience into bite-size, easy-to-digest chunks of wisdom. 2. No fringes; just hard-core training and diving. 3. Respect his stuff (…and let him load and unload his truck! You’re helping by not helping.) The couple of days I got to spend with Harry have, thus far, been the most valuable and enjoyable in my cave-diving journey - and I’m coming back for more.
