    Default What caves for Intro Diver?

    I was Intro certified back in April of this year and have dove in the EYE & EAR, Orange Grove and Madison Blue. What other caves are good for Intro Level? I realy liked Orange Grove. Madison and the Ear were Kicking pretty good when we did them. What caves do you recomend for Intro level dives?

    I hope to be back down there in 3 weeks. Thanks for the help.

    Peacock I is great for the Intro level. Both passages are fairly shallow and will give you decent bottom time on 1/6s of doubles. But really, any of the usual caves are great. At this level, you should be using the limitations of your certification to learn the first part of the cave so when you move onto the next level you can start exploring those side passages you take note of at Intro.

    Jackson Blue while the flow is down and Twin are both great intro dives.

    I have about 200 dives now at intro level and probaly 175 of them in JB. Most are under and hour and mostly in the cavern for the last part so its not like I have a ton of exploration with that number. I am just luck enough to dive JB a few times a week

    Why not just take full cave? I would get bored seeing the same cavern over and over knowing what else is out there.

    Little River is pretty cave. Flow seemed to be down last week. It might be time to move to full cave.

    I am also new to the cave diving community and the systems I have been in are JB, Twin Caves, Hole In the Wall, Peacock and Madison. All the systems are great at our level, my least favorite has been Madison for the exception of going on the Godzilla Circuit with our instructor where I found and placed Godzilla in a new spot. Peacock and all of the Mill Pond systems are amazing!!

    He took intro cave, not cavern. There's plenty of cave to see at intro.
