INTRO TO CAVE DIVER – TDI
INTRO TO CAVE DIVER – TDI
Courses for diving in overhead environment such as caves are divided into 3 steps: cavern diver – intro to cave diver – cave diver. Each step must be completed before moving on to the next stage but of course you can do all 3 courses one right after the other. It really depends on your available time and confort level. Intro to cave divers are allowed to dive beyond the penetration limits of cavern diving but aren’t allowed to do navigation in the cave. Basically you are not allowed to wonder off the main line jumping to a side line or cross an intersection.
