The Advanced Cave diver course consists of 4 modules which can be conducted back to back, in pairs or individually.
The course trains the diver in the use of both
side and no mount equipment configurations for the cave diving environment
with an emphasis on equipment configuration and safety procedures. The course extends the cave divers cave penetration
capabilities by the use of staging multiple cylinders throughout the planed
inward swim. The emphasis is on gas management planning and emergency
procedures. The course teaches the diver to gather survey
data during cave dives to be used post dive to draw up maps and surveys
of cave passages and includes a review of survey tools and equipment and
team projects to gather data and produce surveys. The course trains the diver in the safe operation
of Diver Propulsion Vehicles, firstly in the open water to develop skills
then in the cave environment to put the learnt skills in to practice.
The course extensively covers emergency procedures including DPV failure,
diver tows and gas shares whilst using DPV's. The DPV diver course may be run as a module
of the Advanced Cave Diver program in the cave environment or in the Open
water environment as a stand alone course. |
