Connect with Jim Wyatt, NSS # 56713, Training Director for the National Speleological Society’s Cave Diving Section (NSS-CDS), for a concise overview of what cavern and cave diver training entails.
What first steps should one take in order to become a competent cave diver? What is the required equipment, and what indispensable skills are taught in this training? What are the psychological implications of training and practicing in this field? How do divers promote cave conservation, and what role do landowner relations play in carrying out these explorations successfully? How are task loading and muscle memory involved?
