The light zone is the area near the entrance of the cave where you can see natural light at all times.

During this course you’ll learn to use equipment and procedures that allow you to explore such areas safely.

This is a challenging and very exciting course that includes four training dives over at least two days.

What will I Learn during the PADI Cavern Diver Specialty Course?

You’ll go on four dives during the PADI Cavern Dive programme. During your first dive (which is conducted in open water and not in a cavern), you’ll practice the use of lines and reels and emergency procedures.

The final three dives are conducted in the cavern environment. Your actual penetration-training dives are limited to within the light zone and within 40 metres from the surface (vertical and horizontal distance included).

• Cavern navigation and line protocols
  
• Depth and distant limits for cavern diving
