Cave Diving Course Package

     This complete course involves 17 - 18 cave dives minimum with at least 1000 minutes of bottom time performed over a seven - eight diving day period.  The safe enjoyment of the underwater cave environment through a base of comprehensive training is my most popular course to teach particularly as most divers travel a long distance to the Riviera Maya.  The students will be participating in at least a minimum twelve hours of lectures/discussion and must demonstrate satisfactory competence and knowledge of all topics and skills presented by Steve.  All cave dives will be conducted with exposure to a wide variety of underwater cave conditions such as silt, halocline, silty or low visibility, circuits, traverses, gaps, jumps and T's, siphons, restrictions, referencing, conservation, exploration/surveying techniques and logistics.  Issues discussed will include the fragile cave environment, accident analysis, stress management, psychological aspects, dive planning, air management, guidelines and reels, guideline techniques and protocol, safe procedures, decompression theory and procedures, landowner relations, team management, use of oxygen and controversial topics.
