Cavern is no longer considered a prereq to intro with most agencies and has been deemed a recreational specialty course.

In the TDI info I have Cavern its still a prereq for Intro to Cave, has that changed?

I felt like TDI Cavern and Intro were like TDI Advanced Nitrox and Decompression Procedures. They both exist and should probably almost maybe always be done as a part of the same course together.

Ok, so you're saying skip Cavern and go straight to Intro?

yes, basically intro becomes a 4 day course instead of 2

Ah ok, so Cavern won't even exist?

the way it is likely to look is that it will become a recreational specialty and not part of the cave progression
