About ProTec Dive Centers
ProTec Dive Centers is Mexico's premier cave diving operation, based in Tulum just minutes from the world's most extensive underwater cave systems — Sac Actun and Ox Bel Ha. Since 2001, they have built an international reputation as the go-to facility for serious cave and technical divers looking to explore the Yucatan's cenote networks.
Their programme covers everything from guided recreational cavern dives for certified open-water divers to full cave certification courses, KISS Sidewinder rebreather training, trimix diving, and DPV (diver propulsion vehicle) instruction. The on-site facility includes air-conditioned classrooms, a filling station, retail area, and accommodation — making it a one-stop destination for multi-day training programmes. Instruction is available in several languages from an elite team of international instructors.
ProTec stands out for the depth and seriousness of their technical diving programme. While most Tulum dive shops focus on cavern day trips, ProTec attracts divers from around the world who want expedition-grade cave training. Their instructors have contributed to cenote exploration and mapping projects, and the proximity to the planet's longest underwater cave systems makes this a bucket-list destination for the technical diving community.
