On my most recent dive trip I found that diving in canyons was what I liked the most, much more than looking at beautiful fish or coral.
The highlight of the trip was diving through a short tunnel connecting 2 canyons.
I'm wondering how to get more of this kind of diving in.
Cave diving seems a bit too dangerous to me, and I'm not sure I'd even want to dive in caves anyway. Canyons are just fine.
I think that the tunnel connecting two canyons, if you can see surface light at the other end, is considered a cavern...?
There's a PADI cavern diver course. The description talks about using a line and stuff. I don't know, that doesn't seem all that interesting to me, but I could be wrong.
Also, that course is only available where there are caverns, so you can't just take it at your favorite resort. This makes sense, naturally, because there aren't caverns everywhere. So I guess if I wanted to take it, I'd need to book a dive trip to a site that has caverns.
I really just like those canyons. Perhaps I need to just find out which dive resorts have lots of canyons, and book a trip to one of them.
