Divetulum passion for teaching is rooted in the principle of what we love must be shared. Many souls from all around the world come to Tulum to embrace new horizons and write new stories in their journals; some of them have the courage to try a new adventure and discover what diving is all about. Tulum, with its magnetic natural beauty, its crystal-clear reefs and cenotes is the perfect place to embark on a full diving experience with underwater breathtaking landscapes that will remain in your heart. We always like to say that diving is like a meditating journey because it requires a level of presence, calmness and breath work that allows you to fully taste every breath of it and that’s what we like to share with our nervous but willing to learn students.

Our PADI Open Water Diver certification program will guide you from the fundamentals of diving to make of you a confident recreational diver. Our students immerse themselves in a three days and six dives course that goes from theory to practice testing their ability to react under pressure and solve problems underwater. Diving although being a chilling and relaxing sport has its own rules and precautions that must be learned and we must never minimize its boundaries and risks. At Divetulum safety comes first and we will always ensure that our students understand every concept, every skill and every why? of diving because only in this way we can ensure you will know how to manage any situation and become a more independent and reliable diver.
Some Useful Diving Tips
- Always breathe intentionally: relaxation and buoyancy control comes from long inhalations and exhalations.
- Kick with purpose: every kick demands oxygen and energy, perfect your posture and kicking technique.
- Know your equipment and continuously practice your skills: muscle memory allows you to react fast.
- Don’t eat heavy meals before/between dives, your respiratory demand will rise and you’ll feel more agitated.
Becoming a diver is the closest feeling to being an astronaut in outer space; floating and immersing in a new world full of rare and wonderful creatures that coexist altogether in amazing and surreal underwater environments. Our oxygen supply remind us that we are merely visitors with a limited time and we must respect and protect what we are just beginning to understand, a miraculously expression of life that assures of something greater than ourselves.
