r/CaveDiving

Hi all, I'm a Tec Instructor continuing a journey of self improvement, I'm looking for recommendations for full cave training in Asia. I'd love to go back to Tulum and train in the Cenotes, where I fell in love with the caves 10 years ago, it took me a while to improve myself until I feel ready to learn how to dive them properly, but going there is not a possibility right now.
So, what are reddit's recommendations for instructors? Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand, Malasia or anywhere in Asia really.
Thanks a lot.

Can anyone recommend any good educational documentaries on cave diving? Thanks

One of the two guys on that ill-fated Maldives splunk was apparently a diving instructor ...

Super excited after doing some side mount diving in the caverns in Tulum last summer I’ve finally booked my Intro to Cave. Super excited to start this step! Didn’t really have anyone who “gets” it so figured I’d post here. Any advice I’d be happy to read but just wanted to share my excitement.

I had the pleasure of sitting down with Jill recently for a long conversation. I knew her reputation going in but nothing quite prepared me for how direct she was about the reality of what she does.

The death rehearsal protocol stopped me. Before every dive she sits at the surface and works through every possible way she could die that day. Methodically. Calmly. She doesn’t see it as morbid. She sees it as the only honest way to enter the water.

She’s lost more than 100 friends to cave diving. She talked about that too, what it costs, what it teaches, and why she’s still in the water.

The iceberg dive in Antarctica. Swimming three kilometres inside the Earth with no way to surface.

The moment she knew the Toronto ad agency life was over when she hid from her own client at the airport.

This is the most honest conversation I’ve had about what this world actually demands of the people in it.
