WHY CAVE DIVING?

Cave diving is perhaps one of the most interesting diving specialities, and it requires some of the most rigorous training. Cave education focuses on conscious dive planning, precise execution of dive plans, straightforward gas management, and team diving—all of which transform scuba divers into truly independent, qualified, and safe divers in any environment.

ARE ALL SCUBA DIVERS “READY” FOR CAVE DIVING?

Do you have the right mindset for cave diving? Are you prepared to become a cave diver? Most importantly, do you have the physical and emotional skills to be safe in the cave environment? Not all scuba divers have the right foundational skills to cope with the special requirements of cave diving. Cave diving requires specialized knowledge, skills, diving behavior, and considerations for personal and team safety.

THE TRAINING PROCESS

Each level of cave diving training is based on the knowledge and practice from the previous ones. This means that all cave diving students should devote personal time to practice dives between each level of their training to achieve mastery.
