Teppo Lallukka

Hi there!

My name is Teppo Lallukka and I am a Finnish cave diving instructor. I have been diving since 1991 and teaching technical diving since 2001. I started cave diving 1997. In addition to flooded mines in Finland and Sweden, I have had the pleasure of diving caves in Florida, Mexico, Norway, France, Italy, Hungary, Australia and Thailand. I aim to visit new cave sites every year.

Currently I teach cavern diving in Finland as well as France and cave diving in France.

When I am not teaching, I enjoy multi-stage DPV dives as well as shooting video of caves. I am also working on building up a routine on my new Tres Presidentes PSCR. Most of my diving is done in cold water, but I enjoy a warm water cave dive with no gloves and no hood as much as the next person.

Diving experience

22 years of diving 1000+ dives 700+ cave dives 250+ DPV cave dives 700+ mixed gas dives.
