Scuba Diving Malaysia Course
PADI CAVERN DIVER SPECIALTY
Looking to explore hidden secrets in caverns around
the world? If you like searching for adventure in the wildest
of places then you'll need your PADI Cavern Diver certification!
Cavern diving is defined as any dive conducted within
the light zone of a cave. Scuba diving in Malaysia at Sipadan Island is ideal for this programme with its famous Turtle Cavern. The light zone is the area near the
entrance of the cave where you can see natural light at all
times.
You'll go on four dives during the PADI cavern dive
programme. During your first dive (which is conducted in
open water and not in a cavern), you'll practice the use of lines and reels and
emergency procedures.
The final three dives are conducted in the cavern
environment. Your actual penetration-training dives are limited
to within the light zone and within 40 metres from the surface
(vertical and horizontal distance included).
The programme covers the knowledge and techniques
of cavern diving and describes the dangers involved with cave
diving (this is not a cave diving course). Topics covered
include:
- The planning, organisation, procedures and problems of
cavern dives
- Special equipment considerations including: lighting,
guidelines, and redundant breathing systems
- Proper body position and buoyancy control, and air-consumption
management
- Information that describes the specific hazards of cavern
diving including: silting, line entanglement and breakage,
disorientation from permanent lines and emergency situations
unique to cavern diving.
