CAVERN + INTRO TO CAVE COURSE

Why take the Cavern + Intro to Cave course?

The IANTD/IDF Cavern + Intro to Cave (Cave) class introduces diving in an overhead environment.

Many underwater caves are hidden from view, making cave diving an exciting, adventurous activity. Cave diving requires special training, and the IANTD/TDI Cavern + Intro to Cave course thoroughly explains the cave environment and potential dangers. Although it prepares students to venture beyond natural daylight zones, a conservative approach to gas management keeps new cave divers within a limited distance of the entrance.

Who is it for?

The IANTD/IDF Cavern + Intro to Cave class is a great training opportunity for aspiring cave divers. As a result, divers will improve their skills and awareness and enjoy cave diving with their teams, with the knowledge they need to get in and dive.

Divers new to cave diving should be aware of specific rules: there is no natural light, the cave is enclosed, they must return to the entrance at the end of the dive, and they must have the self-discipline to follow a line and navigate the cave properly.

What will I learn?

Course outcomes include, but are not limited to, introduction to principles of cave diving and the skills and knowledge required for limited penetration into underwater caves; increasing environmental awareness; cultivating proficiency in dive planning and teamwork; promoting an understanding of cave environments; teaching stress management, navigation, standard and emergency procedures, cave diving techniques; and instilling an appreciation of the hazards of cave diving.
