Cavern Diver

The PADI Cavern Diver Course

The light zone, if you dive in areas where there are caves, the area near the entrance where natural light can be seen this called the cavern zone, if so this is the course for you. This course gives you the skills and knowledge to do this correctly and safely.

What You Will Learn

There are four training dives

In your first open water dive you'll practice line handling, reel use and emergency procedures without entering a cavern. But, for your next three dives, you're headed into the cavern, staying within the light zone and 40 meters/130 feet total distance from the surface. You learn about:

Cavern navigation and line protocols
Planning, organization, techniques, problems and hazards of cavern diving
Special equipment use, such as lights, guidelines, reels and redundant breathing systems
Air sharing, disorientation, silting, line problems and other emergency procedures specific to cavern diving
