    Thanks a lot!
    I have written the letter for ProTec with my question.

    and one more
    what do you recommended - diving with drysuit or wetsuit in mexico? I'm planning to dive no more than 2 hours and depth no more than 40 meters.

    it will be my first experience diving in Mexico

    Cave Heaven is almost across the street if ProTec isnt there.
    I dove exclusively wet but it depends on your tolerance. Water temp: 78°F/26°C. Surface temp: hot.

    For 2 of my trips to Mexico, a buddy has worn a wetsuit and I've dove dry. Neither time has either of us been uncomfortable. For my dry suit I just wear under armor, no real undergarments and an old hood which has been compressed on some deeper dives.

    I've been happy with a 5mm wet suit and hooded vest.

    14 days X 2 dives a day. 5 hours in water every day, it adds up. Dry suit was good but it was hot gearing up.

    +1 for Zero G. Very professional operation. Will be using them next trip.

    +1 for both Xibalba and Protec.
    I have worked as a freelance for both of them, nice people all around.

    I have always used wetsuit, semidry, 5mm and 7mm. Been diving with friends who use drysuit, but they sweat their balls off suiting up...

    I couldn't have been happier with Adam at Cave Heaven (in Tulum)
    I will be using him again when I go back down

    I just did sidemount AL80's when I went. The caves are shallower there and those will take you a LONG way.
    He had pretty much everything cave related though...BCs lights, tanks, etc.
    I just took a harness and my basic gear (for open water fun) and he got me a sidemount rig, can light, etc for all the cave stuff.
