IDA / CMAS Cave Diver – Cave 1

Cave diving can be done relatively safely by recreational divers, cave dives far from daylight and the nearest exit require a high redundancy of equipment essential for survival and special diving skills.

Start your adventure and become a 1-star Cave Diver

Course price 599 Euro, includes certification
 
Every cave diver started with this course and learned the basics of cave diving. In the Cave 1 – Course (internationally called Cavern-Diver) the diver learns to dive caves in the light area of the entrance up to a maximum penetration depth of 40 m and a maximum diving depth of 20 m. Cave diving is very popular with many recreational divers, but there are some limiting conditions for entry as a Cave 1 – Cave Diver 1:

• minimum size of the passage
• minimum visibility
• prohibition of jumps
• minimum equipment size and air as only gas
• pure no-stop dives

There are also rules for equipment redundancy and gas management. Nevertheless, a „normal“ recreational diver can be made „fit“ for the Cave 1 area with a minor adjustment of his open water equipment and a relatively short theoretical training in order to be able to conduct safe dives there under the supervision and guidance of an experienced cave guide or instructor.

Maybe you would like to combine this course with the PADI or CMAS / IDA Tec Fundamental course? In this course we show you how to use a double tank and wing jacket, some fin kick techniques and back-up exercises with light and mask.

You will need two days at the dive site to complete your course, you can read up on the background knowledge at your leisure in our e-learning portal.

To participate in the course, you must be 16 years old (minors require parental consent), present the PADI AOWD or equivalent, have a diving medical certificate or fill out a current health questionnaire on site.

You will need to bring a full diving equipment, buoy, dive computer (or watch depth gauge) and compass. Any missing equipment can be hired from us for the duration of the course. Tanks and weights are included.
