Divers are trained to navigate with a continuous guideline
To make the journey from cave diving safer and easier for divers, they are trained to use continuous guides in cave diving. These lines are either non-directional or directional and must be visible at all times. Diver's guideline, also known as diver's leap line, is also called this. It connects diver's lines, and can also be used to provide safety in the event of an emergency.
There are three main types of markers that divers use to guide them through the caves. Line arrows (or permanent line markers) can be used as visual and tactile guides. They can also be used as a way to point to the exit. They may also be used for marking jump spots within the cave.
They must be capable of finding a lost guideline
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 determine safe routes through caves. It is important to know how to use them. Depending on how deep the diver must dive, the guideline is usually mounted on a reel. An open water diver might only require a 50-metre guideline. A cave diver may need multiple reels of different lengths.
They must have the right equipment
It is essential that you have the correct equipment for diving in caves. Cave water is quite cold. If you're going to be doing a long diving trip, you should consider wearing a wetsuit. A waterproof notebook can be a great idea for keeping track of reference information throughout the dive. These notes can be very useful during navigation in the cave and at decompression stops.
Divers should also have extra fins and oxygen cylinders. 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 need to be careful when selecting your equipment.
They must have disciplined self control
To dive into caves, you must be disciplined and have a good safety training. Cave divers must be able to use their senses and not rely on their knowledge of cave environments. Cave divers should be able to maintain calm and control their breathing in these situations.
Once inside the cave, the diver must drop the scooter and swim three to four hundred feet until the end of the line is reached. The cave may be very tight and have high levels of silt. Although it is easy to dive to the end, the diver should not actively seek out the end marker. Training includes team protocols, blind staging and simulation of a sediment-out due to a tank dropping on sediment.
