Cavern Diver
Explore Caverns Safely!
Florida has an amazing variety of dive sites, from the Ocean to inland Caverns. When you take our Cavern Diver specialty course you will learn how to safely navigate some of the most diverse dive sites in our state.
Caverns exist in many areas where scuba divers venture – from freshwater springs to volcanic island walls and limestone coasts. In these locations you’ll find large, dark spaces that seem incredibly inviting, yet are potentially dangerous. The Cavern Diver Specialty course gives you the knowledge and skills to explore caverns correctly – allowing you to enter far enough for adventure, but staying within the light zone for an easy exit to open water.
