OW divers Are prohibited from carrying light to keep them from venturing too far into the cave.

You should not have a light with you in a cave/spring dive spot... So you don't go in to a cave just to have a "LOOK"... no light = no LOOK... Yes light = maybe I"ll just go in a little... Remember from high school what happens if you only go in a little ????

what's the difference?

Cavern divers must maintain the ability to see daylight from the entrance. Cave divers can go further into the cave system.
