Cave Diver

The Cave Diving Course is by far the biggest challenge, but for many divers it is just the beginning in a series of programs that range from diving with stage tanks and rebreathers to dpvs and cartography. It certainly isn’t easy, but if you have the right attitude, it is a great experience.
