Are you a Closed Circuit Rebreather (CCR) diver who is a serious adventure seeker wishing to explore overhead environments? Sign up for the TDI Full Cave Diver Course!This course is the third stage of overhead environment training in the series of TDI’s Rebreather Full Cave Diver Development Program. Advanced rebreather cave dive planning, the practical execution of different types of cave systems and scenarios divers encounter are presented. This cave diving course is not intended to prepare divers for evaluating all facets of cave diving. The objective of this course is to expand and critique previous skills accomplished in the TDI Rebreather Cavern and Introductory Cave Diving Programs. Emphasis is placed upon dive planning, bailout range requirements, and skill perfection through actual cave penetration.

What you can expect to learn:

• Equipment considerations
  • Bailout cylinder options
  • Rebreather configuration options
  • Scrubber options
  • Buoyancy compensator device (BCD) / harness options
  • Reel options
  • Proper weighting
  • Equipment configurations
• Communication
  • Hand signals
  • Light signals
  • Touch contact signals
• Swimming techniques
  • Body posture / trim
  • Buoyancy control and rebreather weighting
  • Line following techniques
  • Propulsion techniques
• Physiology
  • Breathing techniques
  • Stress management
• Cave environment
  • Geology
  • Local access requirements
  • Land owner relations
• Conservation
• Problem solving
  • Equipment failure
  • Silting conditions
• Accident analysis
• Review of dive tables and decompression theory
• Cavern diving with Open Circuit (OC) divers

• Remove and replace mask while in contact with the guideline
• Demonstrate light / hand signals and touch contact
• Execute conservation and awareness techniques
• Use referencing as back-up navigation
• Demonstrate adequate anti-silting techniques
• Simulate a primary light failure, and use back light to exit the cave
• Demonstrate lost line drills using instrumentation lighting only
• Demonstrate lost diver drills
• Demonstrate to use of reels to perform jumps and gaps required in circuits and traverses to maintain a continuous guideline to open water
• Exit the cave flying the rebreather in SCR mode
• Exit the cave simulating solenoid failure (if applicable)
• Demonstrate advanced navigation techniques including a minimum of:
  • 4 jumps
  • 2 circuits
• Demonstrate rebreather unit specific skills in compliance with current level of rebreather certification as outlined in the TDI course curriculum
