Divers are taught how to navigate with a continuous guidanceline
To make the journey from cave diving safer and easier for divers, they are trained to use continuous guides in cave diving. These lines are either non-directional or directional and must be visible at all times. Diver's guideline, also known as diver's leap line, is also called this. It connects the diver's lines and is also used as a safety line in case of a problem.
Three main types of marker are used by divers to help them navigate the caves. The permanent line markers or line arrows are used to guide divers through the caves. Arrows can also be used to indicate direction to exit. They are also used to indicate jump locations in the cave.
They should be able find lost guidelines.
A diver must be able to locate a lost guideline when they dive into a cave. Divers can use a variety of techniques to locate a guideline. You can use a touch signal or an underwater chart to locate a guideline.
A guideline is used by divers to indicate safe passage through caves. Depending on how far the diver is going to be diving, the guideline will often be attached to a reel or spool. For example, an open water diver may only need to have a 50-metre guideline, while a cave diver may need several reels of varying lengths.
They must have the appropriate equipment
To ensure safety and comfort when diving into caves, you need the best scuba equipment. Cave water can get quite cold so it is advisable to have a suit on hand if you are planning a long dive. You can also use a waterproof notebook to keep track of important information while diving. These notes can be very useful during navigation in the cave and at decompression stops.
Divers need to have extra fins and oxygen tubes. Cave diving is dangerous, so divers need the right equipment. Cave divers should have specialized equipment as there is often high water pressure in caves. You should be cautious when choosing equipment.
They must demonstrate self-control.
You must have discipline and high levels of safety training to dive into caves. Cave divers often have limited visibility so they must rely more on their senses than their knowledge. Cave divers need to be able and able maintain their calmness in difficult situations.
Once the diver has entered the cave, they must remove the scooter from the water and swim for three to four hundred yards until they reach the end. Some parts of the cave can be extremely tight and contain high amounts of silt. Although it is easy to dive to the end, the diver should not actively seek out the end marker. Team protocols, blind staging, simulation of a silt out caused by a tank being dropped on sediment are all part of the training process.
