Cave diving Cert Agencies

[DivingFirefighter]

Hello cave divers! I'm looking for recommendations on a cave diving training agency! So please feel free to tell me which agency you recommend and why!

Agency doesnt make as much difference as the instructor does. Find a good instructor and take the course with whatever agency he teaches through. We have many fine cave diving instructors here on the board representing various agencies.

They are all accepted equally, for the most part. My instructor issued both a TDI cave card and an NACD cave card to me when I finished Full Cave. I like the NACD card better, because there's gold glitter on it

What are your goals for cave diving? Do you want to dive tourist caves? Push small sidemount cave? Join the WKPP and dive huge leon sinks systems?

I would think about what you want to do, and find someone who's already doing it.

Don't get too excited. After a while the glitter wears off.

Well, specifically Wakulla.

Or get some night vision goggles and learn to wrestle alligators.

Although last time I was there, I didn't see many momma gators, you could probly take these guys-
