10 years of passion

We love our work, we love our city, we love this nature.

It is the inspiration of cave diving in general that enables Zen diving to offer very high-standing recreational as well as entry-level technical courses. Indeed, our goal is train high level divers which are independent and security driven. The idea is to create a professional dive school in a relaxed setting. All our instructors and guides are very competent with a lot of knowledge and experience.

Moreover, the equipment that we lend you is of remarkably high quality and very well maintained. The regulators are serviced every year to ensure your security in the water.

We take time to teach you what we know and if you are curious, and interested, you will learn a lot of new techniques and knowledge which will be very useful in your diver’s career.

The History

During a trip aimed at finding his own self, Jean-Charles lands in Tulum in 2009 and meets with the diving world. Rapidly, he gains a lot of experience and becomes a cave diver in order to explore the mystical and fascinating cenotes.

Then, he starts getting trained as a professional diver, and even becomes instructor for specialties such Sidemount, Backmount, Advanced Nitrox orDecompression Procedures. He is now PSAI instructor thanks to Patrick Widmann, PROTEC Instructor, whose training is extremely picky and professional.

After spending a few years working for other dive shops, he decides to open his own dive center. Offering private and personalized services. It is in April 2016 that Zen Diving opens his doors!
