    Default Intro Dives...

    What caves (or parts of caves) in NFL area would be considered "Intro" level dives for Intro level certified divers?

    Just drive up to the site. Look for the cave training level sign. If the sign has one black arrow that means it's an intro cave. Two black arrows for apprentice and a red arrow for full cave.

    Every cavedive is a full cavedive.

    What makes one an intro dive is the restrictions that are set in your class/training.

    Does that by implication mean that if there are no arrows it is a cavern dive?

    Human Evolution makes me wonder: from HomoErectus to HomeSapiens, from Dry Caves to Wet Caves. Nevertheless, from HomoErectus to HomeSapiens, from Org. Caves still to Org. Caves! DAMN ...

    And now for a helpful answer:

    Ginnie
    Jackson Blue
    Twin Cave
    Hole in the Wall
    Little River
    Peacock
    Madison Blue
    Cow

    Nearly any of the caves that aren't sidemount, always silted, siphons, or super deep. Ginnie, JB, and Peacock i think are the best intro level caves.
