Cavern Diver Course – Begin Your Cave Diving Adventures

If you’re ready to take your first step into the world of cave diving, the Cavern Diver Course is the perfect introduction. This program is designed for certified divers who want to explore overhead environments while staying within the limits of natural light penetration.
