Caves and caverns have some of the most astounding and beautiful scenery in the natural world. A large percentage of these occur underwater and to experience their breathtaking beauty as a diver requires training beyond the recreational level.

Cavern diving is defined as any dive conducted within the light zone of a cave and requires special equipment and techniques to safely participate in it.

The Cavern Specialty course covers the knowledge and techniques of cavern diving and describes the dangers involved with cave diving. Cavern diving is in no way intended to provide instruction for cave diving although it introduces some of the principles that would be learnt on cave diving courses.

You will learn planning, organization procedures, techniques, problems and hazards of cavern diving with special equipment considerations including lighting, guidelines, reel handling and redundant breathing systems.
