I am currently cavern certified and am working on gear and reading the cave diving manual. I have a question it seems that where I have been diving the permanent line is on the left when entering a cave is this true or just a coincidence. I have only been in the cavern zone, but it seems that if this is true left hand in line is into cave, right hand is out. Or am I showing my untrained pov. Please be kind really just wanted to know.
...and the days go by, water flowing under ground, into the blue again, into the silent water, under the rocks and stones, there is water underground... - talking heads
It varies with the cave. The line in Jackson Blue starts on the right and stays there for about 950' before it crosses over to the left (if you go right at the T). The line at Twin Cave starts on the left and ends up on the right about 100' in. The line at Hole in the Wall upstream starts on the right and ends up on the left about 400' in. The downstream side starts on the left and ends up on the right about 50' in. Peacock has 2 lines in the cavern. One on the left and one in the center! You may not even see the line in some caverns like Orange Grove.

My website - Chipola Divers - Recreational, Technical, & Cave Diving Instruction & Mentorship Coz Caves If you think it's okay to dive in a cavern or cave without the appropriate training, watch the videos on this web page: Diving the Freshwater Springs. If you still think it's okay, please make sure to donate money to the IUCRR...
Yeah I was using my lack of training logic and experience of the caverns I have been in when asking the question. I guess it was wishful logic. Lol. I will wait until I have the experience and training to find out firsthand. Thank you all for your answers.
