Cavern or Wreck Program
The Cavern and Wreck program instruct the student as to the protocols of exploring the overhead environment within the light zone.
This course is designed with the single tank configuration in mind and within recreational limits. Not intended for extensive wreck or cave exploration.
The student is exposed to basic concepts of overhead environment, including; dive planning, gear configuration, how to limit entanglement, reel use, anti silting
techniques, tie offs, propulsion techniques and emergency techniques. The course develops the minimum skills and knowledge for cavern diving, and
describes the dangers involved with cave diving. . Accident analysis forms the basis of this learning experience. Cavern diving is in no way intended to provide
instruction for cave diving.
Duration: approximately 2 days Why Cavern dive?
DIVES: Four cavern dives conducted in two (2) different caverns Maximum depth not to exceed 70 ft.
This course is the first in a series leading to Full Cave Diver or Advanced Wreck Diver.
The following equipment is required for each student:
1. Primary cylinder - volume appropriate for planned dive and student gas consumption.
2. Regulator with pressure gauge and alternate air source.
Although not required, it is suggested one regulator be mounted on a hose approximately two seven (7) feet of length.
3. Buoyancy Compensator with power inflator.
4. Exposure suit adequate for cavern environment.
5. Mask and fins - NO snorkel.
6. Line cutting device.
7. Safety reel with a minimum of one hundred twenty five (125) feet of guideline.
8. One (1) primary cavern-diving reel with length appropriate for intended dive.
9. Two (2) battery powered lights, each with burn time suitable for the planned dive time.
10. Computer or watch (bottom timer) and depth gauge.
11. Slate or wet notes and pencil.
12. Submersible dive tables or backup dive computer (recommended).
