About the course
This introductory overhead environment course qualifies Advanced Open Water Divers to explore the light zone of caves—passages within sight of an exit—using guideline protocols and basic overhead techniques in a controlled, entry-level setting. You'll learn fundamental line-laying procedures, silt management, emergency protocols specific to shallow cavern environments, and self-rescue techniques. Cavern Diver is the essential entry point to overhead diving and is required before progressing to Introductory Cave or other technical specializations.

Florida's springs are the other classic cave-training ground besides Mexico, and the conditions are the difference: strong outflow in many systems, water around 22°C (72°F) all year and sometimes tannic, lower visibility. You learn to manage flow, gas and line in harder conditions, and divers who train here often find Mexican caves easy by comparison.
