Who is this course for?

Certified XR Cavern Divers (or equivalent) who want to obtain the Cave Diver certification.

Training Philosophy: Quality and Safety

At Xaloc Diving Center, we train autonomous, safe, and competent divers, capable of diving with a buddy of the same or higher level.

Each course has a minimum duration, but certification is not automatic. You will only be certified once your instructor determines that you have met the standards required by SSI and Xaloc, ensuring that you can safely dive in this challenging environment.

For this reason, the course is charged per training day (€200/day). If you need additional time to meet the requirements, you can extend your training with extra practice days.
