CAVERN DIVING

About CAVERN DIVING

This program provides the knowledge and experience required to independently plan and conduct cavern penetration dives within the light zone at depths shallower than 40 meters. While we do not have the ability to dive caverns in Virginia Beach, we do have regular trips scheduled in the winter months to the Florida Springs. This is where training would take place.
