Guided Cave Diving

Go Beyond the Entrance

Explore the hidden underwater world of caves with an experienced cave-diving professional.

Our Guided Cave Diving service is designed for appropriately trained and certified cave divers who want to explore underwater caves, caverns, springs, and other overhead environments while receiving professional dive-site guidance and logistical support.

Every cave dive is carefully planned based on the diver's certification, experience, equipment configuration, gas plan, cave conditions, and planned penetration.

Depending on the cave and dive plan, appropriate qualifications may include:

• Cavern Diver

• Technical Cave Diver

• Cave Sidemount Diver

• CCR Cave Diver

• Other recognized cave-diving certifications appropriate to the planned dive

Cave Diving Requirements

Divers should arrive with equipment appropriate for overhead-environment diving.

Depending on the dive, this may include:

• Cave-appropriate BCD/harness system

• Sidemount or backmount configuration

• Primary light

• Backup lights

• Primary reel

• Safety/spool

• DSMB where appropriate

• Cutting devices

• Dive computer

• Appropriate exposure protection

• Redundant breathing gas

• Appropriate gas configuration

• Helmet, where required by the cave

• DPV, where permitted and required

All equipment must be properly maintained and suitable for overhead-environment diving.

Dive Planning

Before entering the cave, the guide and divers will review:

• Cave characteristics

• Planned penetration

• Maximum depth

• Gas management

• Turn pressure/turn gas

• Gas redundancy

• Navigation

• Line procedures

• Emergency procedures

• Restrictions and hazards

• Entry and exit procedures

• Environmental conditions

• Team communication

The final plan will always be based on the diver's training, experience, equipment, and current cave conditions.

Cave Environment

Cave diving presents unique hazards that are different from open-water diving.

Conditions may include:

• Limited or zero natural light

• Restricted visibility

• Silt and potential loss of visibility

• Tight passages

• Complex navigation

• Strong flow or current

• Depth

• Entanglement hazards

• Gas limitations

• Difficult exits

• Changing environmental conditions

For this reason, all cave dives are conducted using appropriate cave-diving procedures and within the limits of the diver's training and experience.

Important Safety Information

A Guided Cave Dive is not a cave-diving training course.

The guide provides professional site guidance, planning assistance, and operational support. The diver remains responsible for maintaining the appropriate certification, equipment, gas configuration, and skills required for the planned dive.

No diver will be taken beyond their training, certification, experience, or agreed dive plan.

Cave dives may be modified, postponed, or cancelled because of water level, flow, visibility, weather, access conditions, equipment issues, or other safety concerns.

What to Bring

Please bring:

• Valid cave-diving certification

• Dive logbook

• Personal cave-diving equipment

• Primary and backup lights

• Appropriate exposure protection

• Personal safety equipment

• Drinking water

• Food/snacks

• Dry clothes

• Personal medications, if required

Recommended Experience

For more advanced cave dives, recent cave-diving experience is strongly recommended.

If you have not conducted an overhead-environment dive recently, a skills review, cavern dive, or refresher may be recommended before undertaking a more demanding cave dive.

Explore Responsibly

Caves are fragile environments.

We practice minimum-impact cave diving and encourage all divers to protect the cave environment by maintaining good buoyancy and trim, avoiding unnecessary contact with formations, and following established cave-conservation practices.

Enter With Respect. Explore With Discipline.
