If you have already decided to take the plunge and get cave training give me a call. We have the most beautiful underwater caves in the U.S.A. right here in North Florida. Cave diving is an exhilirating activity and most people who complete their cave training report it is the best and most thorough recreational diver training they have ever undertaken. If you are ready for some fun and serious diving, we will help greatly increase your diving skills all the way around. Buoyancy control, breathing control, swim positioning, gear configuration refinements, decompression theory and much much more is in store for you.
