Intro Dives...

30 years between the time you took Openwater training and took Cavern training? You thought long and hard about it, didn't you? I'm joking, of course. :D

I waited 2 years after I took Cavern/Intro Cave before I took Full Cave. Personally, I disagree with an Openwater diver taking the 8-day training marathon to Full Cave.

I couldn't agree with you more... I think you should have to document a certain number of dives at each level before moving on...

We like people with both brains and humor! Welcome to the family...

Thanks Cindy... :D

I'll may be able to dive Aug 16-Aug 18.....possibly the 21st....PM me if you're interested in diving on those days. Wherever, I don't care. I'll be sidemount, but I'll throw a long hose on one bottle..

There is no set number. Talk with your instructor about it. After intro, I started getting in as much cave diving as possible. Happy to say I'll be heading down this weekend and starting my apprentice on Mon. :-D
