Re: Cave diving

my experience in sea-cave diving,at first it is very very dangerous...

just to point out some details: the condition are vary a lot and depend on the vis in the water a lot,( swell, current,..)
some days it is easy to see the exit point some days not at all,
it is always a different vis from the inside to outside view, will say you are out and think nice vis and than you go inside and see fuck all not just because all the particles at the bottom you moved with the fins.
the torch is important and i find it easier in general to see exit points without the artificial light if you give your eyes enough time to get used to the dark and stay relaxed.
i think it is helpful if one capable dive buddy stays outside as an emergency and acts after a certain time following a line, or the dive plan.. or can see a light (f.e. light stick) attached to the diver.
buoyancy is although something to think about you don t wonna float in the cave and get stuck on a rock or something i do my buoyancy with the amount of air in the lungs and with less weight as possible..
make sure you train the safety procedures because sooner or later the shit will hit you ..
never loose respect it will be a killer..
