Cave diver after 6 years

[Underwater Tourist]

I generally don't make posts like this on social media because I find them a little selfish, but for this one I couldn't resist.

It took 8 years since I learned about cave diving and 6 years since I decided I will definitely do it for me to received my final package that completes my cave gear set up. Cave diver at last.

To say that the SB community is the most amazing resource one could wish for while learning is an understatement, especially given that none of my friends even have an owd cart.

I would even go as far as saying that SB members are great and rational people, but then I stumbled onto this beauty:

Anyhow

Cave diver at last.

You should be reticent about making that declaration until you've passed full cave. If you have, then tell us the fun stuff. When, who, where, what was your favorite memory, and what was your least favorite memory?

Review - Cavern to Full Cave Course Review

A couple of years ago when I was researching different places where to do my cave cert, I read a review about Protec (Tulum) which convinced me to do all of my training with them. Having completed it two weeks ago, I thought I would write one as well, as I am sure there are other people doing...

Having spools all setup the same you will love. I had a few with Orange spools/white line, black spools/orange line, etc. at first. After doing 3-4 jumps in MX with lines going all over the place its nice to have all similar gear then you just have to double check one spool, confirm its your jump and go.

I really didn’t like using white line in mx because in dark caves it’s very very difficult to see; swim 2m away from it, boom it’s gone.

So yes, setting up everything the same with nice green high viz line
