Divers are taught to navigate with a continuous guideline
To make cave diving easier and safer, divers learn to use a continuous line of guidance. These lines may be non-directional or directional, and must be visible even in low visibility. The diver's guidance line is also known as the diver’s jumping line. It connects all diver's lines. In the event of a problem, it can also be used as a safety guideline.
To help them navigate through caves, divers use three types of markers. For visual and tactile guidance, the line arrows or permanent marker are used. The arrows can also be used for indicating the direction of exit. They are sometimes used to mark jump areas within 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. There are many techniques that can be used to help a diver find a guideline. You can use a touch signal or an underwater chart to locate a guideline.
Guidelines are used to guide a diver through a cave. Divers should be able to use them. The length of the diver's dive will dictate whether the guideline should be mounted on a reel, or a spool. Open water divers may only require a 50-metre line, while cave divers may need many reels.
They need the right equipment
When diving into caves, it's essential to have the right scuba equipment to make sure that you're comfortable and safe. Cave water is quite cold. If you're going to be doing a long diving trip, you should consider wearing a wetsuit. You can also use a waterproof notebook to keep track of important information while diving. These notes are useful for navigation and decompression in the cave.
Divers need to have extra fins and oxygen tubes. Cave diving is dangerous. Divers must be equipped with the right equipment to avoid injury. Cave divers require specialized equipment, as many caves can be dangerous due to their high water pressure. You should be cautious when choosing equipment.
They need to be disciplined and have self-control
Cave diving requires self-control and safety training. Cave divers often have limited visibility so they must rely more on their senses than their knowledge. Cave divers must be capable of controlling their breathing and staying calm in these conditions.
Once in the cave, the diver should drop his scooter and swim the three- to four hundred foot distance until the end. Some parts of the cave are very narrow and may contain large quantities of silt. The dive to the end is quite simple but diver should not actively search for the marker. Blind staging, team protocols and simulation of a silty-out from a tank on sediment are part of the training process.
