Divers are taught to navigate with a continuous guideline
To make cave diving easier and safer, divers learn to use a continuous line of guidance. These lines can be directional or non-directional and must be visible in zero visibility. Diver's guideline, also known as diver's leap line, is also called this. It connects the diver's lines and is also used as a safety line in case of a problem.
Divers use three main types to navigate caves: Line arrows (or permanent line markers) can be used as visual and tactile guides. The arrows can also be used for indicating the direction of exit. They are also used to indicate jump locations in the cave.
They must be able locate a lost guideline.
The ability to find a lost guideline is one of the most essential safety skills that a diver should have when diving into a cave. There are many ways a diver can locate a guideline. It is possible to use touch signals, a map underwater, or a compass to assist you in finding a guideline.
A guideline is used by divers to indicate safe passage through caves. The guideline is often mounted on a reel or spool, depending on how long the diver needs to dive. For example, an open water diver may only need to have a 50-metre guideline, while a cave diver may need several reels of varying lengths.
They must have the appropriate equipment
You need to be comfortable and safe when diving in caves. Cave water can be quite cold, so you may want to wear a wet suit if you're planning a long dive. It's a good idea to have a waterproof notebook handy so you can keep track of any important information. These notes are helpful for navigation inside the cave or during decompression.
Divers should have additional fins, and oxygen cylinders. Cave diving is a dangerous activity, and divers must have the right equipment to avoid injury. Cave divers will need to use specialized equipment due to the high water pressure in many caves. This equipment can weigh a lot, so it's important to be careful in choosing your equipment.
They must be self-controlled and disciplined
To dive into caves, you must be disciplined and have a good safety training. Cave divers need to be able see clearly in caves. Cave divers need to be able and able maintain their calmness in difficult 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. It is possible to dive to and from the end of the line in a relatively easy manner, but divers should not actively seek the end markers. The training process involves team protocols, blind staging, and simulation of a silt-out caused by a tank dropped on sediment.
