South
East Asia is virtually an entire continent of lime stone...and it pours
down with rain here half the year! This makes it a cave divers
dream with a huge variety of Karst terrain. Caverns and Cave are
everywhere, the closest to Phuket would be the Phi Phi Islands just 1 hour away by speed boat. We
recently installed permanent lines in 6 caverns and caves. The pictures
here are from one of our weekly trips. The Maya cavern (inside Maya Bay,
where the film The Beach was filmed) is gigantic inside, its quite amazing
that the island above is still standing, with its hollow interior! Cavern
and Cave training is challenging but fun, the fragile eco system inside
needs total buoyancy control for it to remain truly amazing for the few
divers lucky enough to see it
We
offer 3 training courses:
Cavern
Diver - 3 days 4 dives. Cost £350. Cavern training is the foundation course for overhead
environment diving. Training includes a day of academics and equipment
workshop also surface line drills. Depending on training agency, we offer
penetrations between 40-70 metres in 2 different caverns, all within
the natural light zone
Intro
Cave Diver - the next step with a further 4
dives beyond the cavern zone. Using
fully redundant scuba, the penetrations are further, taking you into the
rooms pictured on this page. Totally amazing to think that such wonders
are a few metres away and almost a total secret to the thousands of divers
that come to Maya bay every week! Intro Cave
last only 2 days, its has less academics than Cavern,
but much more line/reel work. Course costs £350
Full Cave Diver - the final step. A further 8 dives
in the overhead environment will see candidates venturing up to 500m back
into the myriad caves of KRABI province. Using double tanks and triple
redundant light systems, divers will show perfect trim and buoyancy
while exploring often totally unexplored passages. The Cave systems
expect total respect if you venture inside. Failure inside the Cave can
exact a heavy price, this course is for the elite diver who wishes
to see inside the Devils belly! Full Cave takes 5 days
and costs £650.
These
courses have MANY
pre requisites...please enquire for complete details
Cavern
and Cave diving is not for all Divers...
Keep the
tension in the guideline...not in the dive !
