TDI Intro to Cave Diver Course
The TDI Intro to Cave Diver course provides an introduction to the basic principles of cave diving.
This cave course is the second of three parts of your cave dive training up to the TDI Full Cave Diver level. For the first time, you leave the daylight area and learn to plan your dive safely using the 1/6 rule. Laying lines, making a “touch contact” exit and learning how to deal with several problems, such as a lost line or even a lost dive buddy, are just some of the many topics covered in the course. The course usually takes 3 days.
