Our students say…
Becoming a diving instructor and “Full Cave” has been the best decision of my life, now I work and live from what I love the most and that is being underwater. Thanks to Daniel Gonzalez, there are plenty of instructors, but a few have the charisma and the ability to easily transmit complex knowledge, just like you! Thank you!
The IDC course at APE Divers Academy was amazing. The instructors were professional and encouraging, helping me improve my skills and build confidence to teach. The best part was practicing in the cenotes, which made the learning experience even more exciting and realistic. Now I’m ready to share my passion for diving thanks to them!
The Full Cave Diver course at APE Divers Academy was an unforgettable experience. Diving in Mexico’s cenotes is something I’ll cherish forever – the crystal-clear waters, the unique formations, and the sense of adventure were absolutely magical. The instructors were incredibly professional and patient, making sure I felt safe and prepared every step of the way. This course not only improved my diving skills but also gave me a deeper appreciation for the beauty and fragility of these ecosystems. If you’ve ever dreamed of exploring underwater caves, this is the place to do it.
I’ve always wanted to try something different in diving, and the Full Cave Diver course at APE Divers Academy was exactly what I was looking for. The cenotes in Mexico feel like another world, with hidden passages and natural light that leave you speechless. The instructors were amazing – highly experienced and with a focus on safety that really gave me confidence. I learned how to plan each dive meticulously and gained a deep respect for this unique environment. This course wasn’t just an adventure; it was an opportunity to grow as a diver and discover a side of diving I never imagined.
