    Cavern Cave sites in the UK

    I recently completed the Intro to Cave course with Mr Farr. However before I go on and dothe full cave course I'm l feel the need in trying some easy caven/cave sites around the UK. Where does one go to practice your skills in the UK?

    Thanks

    Wouldn't you have done some cave diving between the 2 courses?

    I don't see how someone could do full cave or even half cave without having any experience? How'd you know you even enjoy diving in an OE if you haven't done anything outside of a course?

    Fair comment, could have.

    Not trying to start an argument, I would just find it odd someone who would have done cave1... then cave2 and was then already considering cave3 without actually have done any of his own diving yet.

    Do you disagree?

    The cavern course is an introduction to diving in an overhead environment, and the use of reels and helmet mounted lights.

    Intro Cave covers using side mounted cylinders,

    Full cave involves side mounts line laying and different techniques for anchoring lines plus lots of problem solving.

    Graham.
