I have lurked here for a long time and am totally fascinated by cave diving. Alas I live a long way from anywhere I can learn and complete the courses which one day I WILL do. I watched the DVD trailer on you tube about the Mexican cave dive DVD, and it raised some interesting question.
Where can I see (does it exist) info/video on techniques to develop correct anti silt kicks I can practice while diving normal.
Can you recommend anything apart from practice for perfecting buoyancy while normally diving, in order to prepare for cave diving.
Is it possible to buy quality gear that will be suitable for both cave diving and OW diving, reg's, bcd, particular fins etc. I do understand there will be some personal opinion involved here but there must be preferred gear.
My point here is I'm a relatively new open water diver who wants to develop health skills prior to getting to the point of doing a course and I'd love to pick your brains on how best to prepare. I'd rather not be learning the basic skills while on course but at least have tried to mastered things like kick, profile and buoyancy before I arrrive.
I know this is a broad subject but I'm all ears and look forward to your opinions.
