Because of the theoretical ability to make Emergency Swimming Ascents, many experts consider cavern diving to be an extension of recreational diving. As such, it is possible to obtain Cavern Diver certification through organizations such as PADI and NAUI. Cave diving, in contrast, is what experts consider to be a form of technical diving. By far the most popular and widely respected Cavern and Cave Diver certifications are those offered by the two non-profit organizations that specialize solely in cavern and cave diving. These are the National Speleological Society Cave Diving Section (NSS-CDS) and the National Association for Cave Diving (NACD). All of Ginnie Springs Outdoors’ cave diving educators are instructors members of the NSS-CDS. Most certify through NACD as well. Many can also offer PADI Cavern Diver certifications.
