When I started Diving Caves, I decided to state all prices in US Dollar to be better comparable to the competition. If you come from from Europe, you will receive a personalized price quote in Euro based on the current midmarket exchange rate. And the same obviously for customers coming from Mexico where you get your prices in Pesos MN.
All prices include all service charges/ VAT and I can issue an invoice on reqest.
Reservation Deposits
We will process the payment for the booking confirmation via PayPal. We pay the fees for this. In the case of full payment via PayPal, the customer pays the 5% fee. However, we offer the option of national bank transfers for many countries through other banking institutions. Please inquire about the payment options.
For courses, the rest of the payment is made in cash at the start or by bank transfer prior of course start.
For recreational and beginner technical courses we we include most third-party costs in our prices, such as renting tanks with Nitrox 32 (no surcharge if divers are already certified), transportation on boats / in the car, entrance fees to cenotes, water, soft drinks and snacks.
Certification fees, equipment and book materials are not included in the price unless stated.
For all other technical courses, entrance fees to the cenotes (if applicable) are not included as they are determined by the cenote owners and cannot be influenced by us.
When chartering a complete boat, prices will be different to the mentioned ones as this is a private and bespoke tour.
The prices for the guided cavern dives / cenote diving and guided cave dives are WITHOUT entrance fees. Payment is made after the completion of the dive day in cash minus the reservation payment or in advance as a transfer in whole.
Diving Caves offers package prices with discounts only if packages are prepaid in full.
Packages for cavern dives / cenotes including entrance prices are quite convenient for you as you don’t have to carry cash with you and when finding an ATM proves difficult. We bill the rebooking to other cenotes and the corresponding changes in the entrance fees on site at cost.
Entrance fees are between 250 and 600 pesos per dive site. We do not guarantee the prices are correct because landowners often change prices without notice.
