The CREER registration system has been created for cave diving professionals to facilitate registration for the new “Guía de Buceo en Cenote” certificate, which will be required to provide access into the majority of the cenotes in Quintana Roo in the future.

The system will enable participants to register in one step by entering their personal and professional information; sign the statement of acceptance of responsibility; letter of acceptance and commitment to observe the cenote diving rules; and complete the medical questionnaire. These forms will be provided during the registration process for completion and signature. All other documents will be upload to the system.

The registration is free of charge and should take no longer than 15 minutes if you have all documents ready for uploading.

Before starting the registration process, it is recommended that applicants have read the Manual for Cenote Dive Guides, have a recent head shot photo (maximum size 500KB or less, type jpeg, jpg,png) and copies of the following documents available for uploading:

• INE or national passport or, in case of foreigners 1.) a copy of the migratory document that allows you to work in the country in diving activities, and 2.) a copy of your national passport;
• proof of address that accredits you as resident in the state of Quintana Roo (the name of the interested party must appear); 
• cave diving certification with a minimum level of full Cave Diver or equivalent;
• sidemount certification (if you are guiding on sidemount configuration);
• renewed open water diving credential with a minimum level of Divemaster, Monitor, Three Star or equivalent, or active Instructor; 
• current First Aid and CPR certification;
• current Oxygen Provider certification;
• diving medical insurance (DAN or similar);
• copy of Dos Ojos credential (if applicable);
• signed letter of endorsement from an active local cave instructor: either
• • (i) active guides with Dos Ojos credential: please add a copy of the endorsement letter from a cave instructor which you submitted when registering for the Dos Ojos credential or have a local cave instructor sign a new support letter (please include a copy of the cave instructor’s credential and INE or national passport or, in case of foreigners a copy of the migratory document that allows the cave instructor to work in the country in diving activities); or

  • (ii) new guides: please add a copy of the letter of endorsement from a cave instructor registered as “Evaluador de Guías de Buceo en Cenotes” of CREER;

• copy of your RFC (Registro Federal de Contribuyentes). Note: If you are concerned about confidentiality, cover your RFC number and address. 

One of the requirements for registration is to upload all required documents in one (1) single pdf document. This can be done with Adobe Acrobat Merge PDFs or simply scan all your documents with the Adobe Scan Mobile App. For Mac users this can be done with Preview (view as thumbnails, then drag and drop).

Note: To avoid that your registration is delayed or rejected, please make sure that you are including all requested documents in your pdf document.
