Cave diving From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Entrance to Peacock Springs Cave System Cave diving is a type of technical diving in which specialized SCUBA equipment is used to enable the exploration of natural or artificial caves which are at least partially filled with water.

It is much more rarely practiced due to the skills and equipment required, and because of the high potential risks. Despite these risks, water-filled caves attract SCUBA divers, cavers , and speleologists due to their often unexplored nature, and present divers with a technical diving challenge. Caves often have a wide range of unique physical features, such as stalactites and stalagmites , and can contain unique flora and fauna not found elsewhere.

Tek-Center Quintana Roo Cave Diving in Mexico Deutsche Seite The guided cave diving takes place in the many natural springs (Cenotes) between the area of Playa del Carmen and Tulum. This area is situated in the state of Quintana Roo in the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico. The springs have a natural beauty of the surrounding jungle. They are the entrances of the many cave systems we dive. The fresh water is crystal clear visibility as far as the eye can see. Water temperature is 75 F / 24 C constant during the year. Seasonal weather changes have no effect on these cave diving conditions. Average cave diving depths in Mexico are between 40 feet 12 meters and 60 feet 18 meters Nitrox is recommended for safety. We use Nitrox for cave dives to 80 feet 25 meters to prevent decompression or reduce decompression. Decompression dives in the cave are carefully planned the use of Nitrox Mixes and 100% Oxygen is used. Longer and more complex cave dives are possible with the use of stage cylinders. Your cave diving day starts with a 15 to 60 minutes car drive. At the dive site you receive a short orientation and you prepare your dive equipment. Before the cave dive a dive plan is discussed and finalized. A normal cave dive ranges from 60 to 80 minutes. In-between cave dives we have time to relax. Your cave diving vacation in Mexico can range from one to three weeks and we will not run out of caves. Mexico has some of the worlds best cave diving. The warm water, clear visibility, shallow depths, low flow of water and year round consistent cave diving conditions make it an ideal cave diving location. The caves in Mexico have an abundance of Stalactites, Stalagmites, Columns, many different cave formations and cave passages that make Mexico an excellent cave diving experience.

Wedding Planning Cave diving safety and exploration - in the Yucatan peninsula of Mexico A Brief History Quintana Roo on the sun drenched shores of Mexico's Caribbean coastline has long been a mecca for cave diving and exploration. Since the early 1980's when the first explorations were begun, explorers have pushed back the darkness to reveal a frontier so vast that it may never be fully explored. The Yucatan is primarily a flat karst (limestone) plateau with few hills and even fewer rivers. In the state of Quintana Roo on the peninsula's Caribbean coastline all the fresh water moves underground through shallow caves. These caves have provided water to the life above for millennia. The ancient Maya as well as the modern day inhabitants of the peninsula rely on this water for their survival. Now, more than twenty years after the first explorations, roughly two hundred miles of submerged caves have been discovered and explored, establishing the Yucatan peninsula as the home of the world's largest and most spectacular underwater caves.
