The Fun Part

The fun part is exploring secrets hidden in caverns around the world and having the knowledge and skills to do it correctly.

What You Learn

This is a challenging and very exciting course that includes four training dives over at least two days. During 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 heading 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
• Silt prevention, buoyancy control, air management and emergency procedures
• Depth and distant limits for cavern diving

Your Next Adventure

The PADI Peak Performance Buoyancy Course will help you perfect your buoyancy skills and assist in silt prevention. Many cavern and cave divers are also PADI Enriched Air Diver certified so that they can enjoy more time exploring underwater by extending their allowable bottom time. If you love cavern diving you may be interested in the Discover Tec Diving experience, which lets you try out basic technical diving equipment and skills to help you see if you want to learn more about going beyond recreational diving limits.

This specialty course will count towards your PADI Master Scuba Diver Rating, join the elite of recreational diving.
