About

Ken Sallot's technical and cave training operation in north Florida cave country, teaching the full range of cave programmes at diver and instructor level plus technical and CCR courses. A scuba instructor since 1995, technical and trimix instructor since 1997 and cave instructor since 2012, he taught scuba at the University of Florida for close to ten years. Courses run longer than the minimum by design — his stated philosophy is guided self-discovery rather than selling c-cards.

Consumables are usually extra. Sorb, helium, oxygen and other gas fills, cenote or marine-park entry fees, certification and registration fees, e-learning materials, and equipment or rebreather rental are commonly charged on top of a course price and are not always reflected above. Where a centre states what it excludes, that is noted on the item.

Course names are the centre's own — see their price list. Indicative only; confirm with the centre before booking.
