Cave Diving Safety
A safe cave dive starts with thorough equipment checks—primary and backup lights, a dive computer, emergency reels, and cutting tools are essential. Sidemount divers gain better self-sufficiency, making problem-solving easier. Following the Rule of Thirds, marking key points, and maintaining awareness ensure a safe exit. In emergencies, proper gas-sharing and exit procedures are critical for survival.
