Advanced Cave Sidemount Training

With the sidemount configuration, a cave diver with experience can progress to an advanced level of cave diving by allowing the diver to remove primary tanks and move through very small cave passages. Important to understand is that this is an advanced cave diver certification where the limitation of primary tank removal is removed. Once you start to remove primary tanks to pass through restrictions the dive becomes increasingly more challenging and demanding where qualified training is required to prevent fatal accidents. With the removal of one or all cylinders, we can pass through major restrictions moving along small passages where low visibility or no visibility can be expected. You will gradually learn the skills to cope with the stressful situations that this kind of environment brings with it. It is very easy to get yourself into a situation that you can not get yourself out off and that is the most important fact that is stressed in this course. Only experienced underwater cave explorers have the necessary experience to teach this level of cave diving.
