NACD Safety Officer in South-East Asia

[cedricverdier]

Hi all,

I was recently appointed by the NACD as a Safety Officer for South-East Asia. Why? Because Cave diving is a growing activity in this region. More and more caves are explored all over the region, mainly in Thailand, Korea and the Philippines. With this expansion comes a need to coordinate local efforts about cave diving safety, exploration and training.

Very active worldwide, the National Association of Cave Diving (NACD), was established in 1968 for the purpose of achieving closer cooperation and understanding among members of the cave and recreational diving communities (and the general public) so they may work together toward the common goal of increasing safety in cavern and cave diving.

Please don't hesitate to contact me at info@cedricverdier.com for any questions about cave diving in South-East Asia.

Cheers

Cedric, do you teach cave classes in SE Asia? What are locations (city, country)? Hope the question doesn't violate any forum rules since it is on opposite side of the ball.

Cedric ... please 'pm' (click the 'pm' botton at the bottom of his post) your response to ARY. Thanks!

... since it is on opposite side of the ball.

It's not a question about the opposite side of the ball! These type of questions should be handled by either a 'pm' or an e-mail message. It's about fairness to all Instructors, so every Instructor isn't making the CDF his or her place to advertise for classes.

Congratulations Cedric and thanks for your efforts to open this area of the world up to cave diving.
