Hello all,
I have wanted to get into cave diving since I started diving. I am still a fairly new diver, having about 100 dives under my belt. My plan to make the transition into cave has been thus:
NAUI OW and AOW, then the NAUI Tech progression into full cave.
I have been looking around, and it seems that cave training basically puts you back at square one, and you must learn all of your skills in the framework of cave diving. With this in mind, I have been considering finding a good instructor and making the switch to NSS or NACD, and progressing through there.
With all that being said, how do you suggest going about cave certification? When should the transition be made into cave training? Are there any non-caving related classes you suggest before going down the cave path?
Please excuse me if this has already been asked. I searched and didn't find anything fitting. Thank you in advance for the input.
