IANTD Cave Diving Courses

IANTD Intro to Cave

For those new to recreational diving who are seeking an introduction to the practice of cave diving, the introductory programme, entitled 'Intro to Cave Diver', represents an ideal starting point. The objective of this programme is to develop the skills required to enable divers to venture beyond the entry light zone. The programme introduces the diver to the skills of self-sufficiency, including the use of a twinset or sidemount configuration, line following, line laying and emergency procedures. It can be run as an ongoing course in conjunction with the IANTD Cavern Diver programme. Upon completion of the IANTD Intro to Cave Divers programme, divers are qualified to dive the main permanent line of caves within the safe limits of their gas supply.

IANTD Cave Diver

The IANTD Cave Diver program is designed to take the diver through all the training necessary to conduct dives in the cave diving environment. Throughout the program, emphasis is placed on developing the diver's equipment configuration, buoyancy control and propulsion techniques to enable safe and efficient cave dives. Line following, line laying and reel use are covered extensively, as are safety skills such as gas, light failure, line loss and buddy drills. An important part of the course is the development of team diving procedures and communication.

Technical Cave/Full Cave

The pinnacle of IANTD cave diver training. The Technical Cave Diver program consists of three distinct modules that can be taken consecutively, in models or individually.
Side Mount Diver: The course trains the diver in the use of side mount and non-mount equipment configurations for the cave diving environment with emphasis on equipment configuration and safety procedures.
Multi-stage Diving: The course extends the cave penetration capabilities of cave divers through the use of multiple cylinders during planned inward swimming. Emphasis is on gas management planning and emergency procedures.
