Upgrade Your Diving Skills with SDI Certified Courses in Tulum
Ready to take your diving to the next level? I'm here to help you dive deeper, stay longer, and move with more control. My SDI specialty courses are designed to expand your skills and confidence in the stunning waters of the Riviera Maya.
Breathe smarter and extend your bottom time.
With the SDI Enriched Air Nitrox course, you'll learn how to safely dive with a higher oxygen percentage — perfect for repetitive dives in the cenotes or ocean. Nitrox reduces nitrogen absorption, allowing for shorter surface intervals and longer underwater adventures.
This course is ideal for:
Divers planning multi-dive days
Anyone seeking safer and more efficient dives
Underwater photographers wanting more bottom time
Highlights:
One-day certification
Theory + practical session
Ideal for deep dives and cenote dives
📍 Location: Tulum, Cozumel, Akumal ⏳ Duration: Approx. 4 hours 🎓 Requirements: Open Water Certification
Welcome to Enriched Air (Nitrox) diving! As your personal dive instructor, I’m excited to introduce you to the world of extended underwater adventures.
The SDI Sidemount Diver course introduces a streamlined gear configuration that increases mobility and comfort — especially ideal for exploring narrow passages.

Better buoyancy control
Streamlined profile = less drag
Redundant air supply = safer dives
Highlights:
2-day practical & theory training
Learn proper trim and weight distribution
Personalized video feedback (optional)
Equipment configuration and gas management
📍 Location: Primarily Tulum cenotes ⏳ Duration: 2 days 🎓 Requirements: Open Water
Whether you're newly certified or a seasoned diver, this course helps you fine-tune your trim, positioning, and control — making your dives smoother, safer, and more fun.
What you'll gain:
Technical Precision: Superior buoyancy and trim in overhead environments.
Specialized Skills: Advanced line handling and emergency protocols.
Cave Awareness: Anti-silt techniques to protect fragile formations.
Highlights:
5-day intensive program (Full Cave foundation).
1-on-1 personalized training with Alan.
Real-world training in the most iconic cenotes of the Riviera Maya.
📍 Location: Tulum, Riviera Maya ⏳ Duration: 5 days (Minimum) 🎓 Requirements: Advanced Open Water, Sidemount & Intro to Tech certifications + 50 logged dives.
We respect the cave environment. No touching, no silting—just precise exploration of the Mayan Underworld.
In this course, we don't just "go for a dive." We train. I will teach you the unique hazards associated with caverns—such as silting, entanglement, and disorientation—and, more importantly, how to prevent them through superior technique.

I had a great experience diving with Alan and Jorge. We went to Casa Cenote for my refresher dive and later continued to Cenote dos ojos. It was a wonderful experience and I always felt well taken care of.
I would definitely come back to do more dives with you and can highly recommend going with them 😊

We shared four epic dives with Alan both at the cenotes and out from Playa del Carmen. Well organised, kind, great snacks, and very professional. Perfect mix of fun and dive etiquette. 100% recommend!

We went on 2 dives in a small group of three. Hairo was really nice and funny, and we had a great time! He told us about the Cenotes, the alligators, and much more in great detail. I would love to go diving with him again sometime. Cheers!

I dived with Alan in Cenote Dos Ojos and had an absolutely amazing experience. From start to finish, I felt completely safe and confident underwater. Alan is not only a highly skilled and professional instructor, but also someone with a great vibe — calm, positive, and genuinely kind. He creates an atmosphere of trust and enjoyment that makes the dive even more special. I couldn’t have asked for a better guide for my first cenote dive. Highly recommended.

This is a geat company. We had two cenote dives on our vacation. Alan was super patient and safety conscious. We appreciate how the day flowed. We also appreciate the complimentary snacks. Who knew spicy peanuts would taste so good?

👌Gorąco polecam odkrycie przepięknych cenotes z Alanem i jego teamem.
Alan jest profesjonalnym i super sympatycznym instruktorem i organizatorem, i współpracuje ze wspaniałymi przewodnikami. Gwarancja błyskawicznych odpowiedzi i organizacji. Zrobiłam z nim kurs sidemount i kilka dni nurkowania w różnych cenotes. Jeden piękniejszy od drugiego… 😍

Updating as I've dove with Alan now two years in a row. I've dove in quite a few locations around the world, usually renting equipment, and seen the good and bad of dive guides and shops. From my personal perspective: ALAN IS ONE OF THE BEST!! He is super friendly, carries quality rental gear, puts safety first, and is a great guide underwater. I can only highly recommend him for anyone diving the cenotes.
Original review (Jan 2025)
I stopped by in Tulum for a day of diving and found Alan via a Google search. He was a wonderful guide and person and I really enjoyed the day with him. Would definitely recommend his services!

We had an amazing experience with Allan, taking us to amazing dive sites and being very flexible with our demands. Communication on WhatsApp was very easy and he gave us great advice to pick the right Cenotes, and gave us amazing brief before each. We almost never saw other divers underwater thanks to perfect scheduling. He was very friendly, professional, had great quality equipment, never hurried us encouraging us to enjoy the scenery of the Cenotes before changing dive site, and on top gave us great recos to enjoy our stay in Tulum. One of my best experiences in 100+ dives.

Wir haben die Tauchschule über Google gefunden und eine Nachricht geschickt. Der Kontakt mit Alan war super professionell und sehr zügig. Wir haben zwei Dives gebucht und hatten einen privaten Dive. Nur meine Freundin und ich mit unserem Guide Jorge. Er war wirklich super nett und sehr erfahren was das Zenoten und Höhlentauchen angeht. Zuerst waren wir bei der Angelita Cenote und er hat uns alles sehr ausführlich erklärt, was uns Sicherheit bei diesen dive gegeben hat. Beim zweiten Tauchgang sind wir mit dem Auto zur zweiten Cenote - Carwash gefahren. Ein Shallow Dive mit unglaublich klarem Wasser. Wirklich richtig schön! Vielen Dank für die zwei unvergesslichen Tauchgänge 🤩🙏🏼
