Why take a course?
Cave diving is an extremely fascinating way to spend time under water, as you have already seen in your previous training. You know, however, that cave diving poses many challenges for a diver to overcome. From swimming in tourist caves with permanent guidelines to searching for one's own routes, or yet undiscovered caves - at each stage the diver needs reliable knowledge, skills and knowledge of procedures that determine the safety and thus comfort of the entire dive. In the IDF CCR Full Cave Diver course you will take the next step in your development in cave diving. You will learn how to safely plan and perform dives with limited decompression and without limitations on the distance from the exit to the surface. In numerous caves there are many extraordinary views to discover.
What will you learn?
In this class, you will primarily focus on the practical aspects of cave diving – you will practice diving at ever greater distances from the exit, and you will master your skills in laying guidelines and using reels and spools to create your own routes in an underground, flooded world.
During the theoretical classes you will learn the history of cave diving and rescue procedures to help your diving partners. You will also conduct a thorough analysis of accidents and methods to avoid them. Under real conditions, you will practice rescue by towing your dive buddy to the exit.
