Cave Diver Training

For divers in the Northeast the phrase "Wreck Dive" is the one that fires our imagination most. We have some of the most interesting wreck dives in the world just a short distance from our Long Island shores.

Using the expertise gained in a Cavern and Cave Diving courses will help to make you the very best wreck diver you can be. Cavern and Cave divers are simply the best-trained divers out there.

This program, which teaches us how to deal with an overhead environment, helps us to be at our best when we are wreck diving. It also opens up a whole new world that can be found in Central Florida, Mexico and the Caribbean.

But even if you don't plan on doing much Wreck or Cavern diving, the skills and disciplines taught in this course, like equipment streamlining, buoyancy control and propulsion techniques will help you to dive in a more environmentally sensitive manner around reefs and other fragile aquatic life.

This course develops the skills and knowledge necessary for safe cavern diving which include: Primary reel use, alternative propulsion techniques, buoyancy control, touch contact communication and air-sharing procedures. Special emphasis in this unique environment include anti-silting techniques, dealing with entanglements, equipment modification and emergency procedures.

We currently do not teach any Cave Diver courses but currently refer all prospective interested students to Dan Patterson.  You can contact Dan directly through his website: http://www.danpattersondiving.com
