GUE Cave Diver 1 in Mexico: 5 dive centres on TecDiveTools, with agencies, courses taught and a summary of what students say. 3 publish course prices.
TecDiveTools lists 5 dive centres teaching GUE Cave Diver 1 in Mexico. 3 of them publish course prices, in the currency the shop advertises and with the date each was checked — not converted, and not estimated.
Listings are ordered by how much evidence exists about their technical diving, not by a star rating, with any paid Featured listing shown first and marked as such (how rankings work). 5 of these 5 carry reviews we have read and classified as being about technical or overhead training. The count excludes recreational certifications by name, so a busy resort does not outrank a one-instructor cave operation on the volume of its reef trips. Separately, 4 have at least one instructor whose reviews we have read and summarised — a dive centre carries no synthesis of its own. How we read and count reviews.

About the course
Introduction to full-cave diving in overhead environments with restricted natural light and limited exit routes. Builds on Technical Fundamentals skills with cave-specific training: line-following, navigation, silt management, and team protocols in zero-visibility conditions. Training emphasizes proper gas management to keep divers within limited penetration distance from cave entrances, stress management, and emergency procedures. Unlocks access to GUE's cave progression and recreational cave diving worldwide.

5 dive centres on TecDiveTools teach GUE Cave Diver 1 in Mexico: Playa del Carmen (2), La Paz (1), Puerto Aventuras (1) and Tulum (1). Each is listed above.
The cenotes are the benchmark place to train: around 24–25°C, very clear, with daylight cavern zones for a first course and some of the longest mapped cave systems in the world for full cave and beyond. The number of entrances and the variety of passage — decorated, wide, low, haloclined — let you train on different cave profiles in a single trip.
