Introductory Cave Diver (Intro)?
The student must be certified at the Cavern level or equivalent with 25 logged dives. While this level of training can be done using single tanks with a Y or H valve, I teach it only with double tanks. I believe that at this level of training, the student should make the commitment to purchasing the gear required to minimize risk while diving in caves. Each student must have two complete regulators, one primary and one backup. A decompression stage bottle and regulator is also needed since some of the dives at this level of training will require extended times at depth with decompression obligations. At least one safety guideline reel is required; an assortment of smaller jump/gap reels is recommended.
