Tek Lite Cave Diver in Mexico: 28 dive centres on TecDiveTools, with agencies, courses taught and a summary of what students say. 17 publish course prices.
TecDiveTools lists 28 dive centres teaching Tek Lite Cave Diver in Mexico. 17 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). 17 of these 28 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, 12 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.

The centres listed above teach IANTD Tek Lite Cave Diver in Mexico. Requirements are set by the agency, not the centre, so they are the same wherever you train — what differs is price, class size and how much diving is included.
28 dive centres on TecDiveTools teach IANTD Tek Lite Cave Diver in Mexico: Playa del Carmen (15), Tulum (6), Puerto Aventuras (3), Akumal (2), Cancun (1) and La Paz (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.
