DiveFest Mexico

13/04/2021

It looks like travel restrictions from the UK to Mexico are not as easing quite as quickly as we hoped. We will therefore plan to run an epic DiveFest for BSAC - British Sub-Aqua Club members here at Underworld Tulum in summer 2022. Stay tuned for more details! If you can't wait until then, Underworld is Mexico's only BSAC centre and we can offer most BSAC courses, as well as everything from introductory cave diving courses through to multistage and scooter training! We can also put together a great trip for your group or club.

Divefest Mexico Update. We have still got the 3-17 July dates reserved in the Underworld Tulum diary and will run the event if circumstances allow. Although there are no direct flights to Mexico from the UK at the moment, this will change eventually, and most of us really need something to look forward to. Regardless of whether a formal event is possible, we will still be offering group and club trips, guided cavern diving, BSAC training and cave courses from multiple agencies. The caves here are epic (see pic) and we love introducing members of BSAC - British Sub-Aqua Club to new diving experiences.

This is what an Underworld Tulum trainee diver looks like on their first dive of a BSAC - British Sub-Aqua Club Ocean Diver course! We will be running some fun buoyancy and trim coaching sessions during DiveFest next year, as well as enjoying some amazing caverns, caves and reefs. We can also let you have a go at diving scooters and rebreathers! Get in touch if you want to get involved!

There are two basic dive courses taking place in this picture. One involves doing all skills neutrally buoyant, and one has all students kneeling on the floor. See if you can guess which one will produce better divers. Agency is not as important as investing time and effort to make new divers comfortable, competentent and environmentally aware. We were teaching BSAC - British Sub-Aqua Club Ocean Diver in this case, but could easily have been PADI, SDI, RAID, IANTD or CMAS. Thanks to our friends at La Casa Surya for the photo bomb!
