Hello,
So I have worked my way through open water tec training, and am now considering cave courses. Those photos are just so damn gorgeous and I also would like to enlarge my skillset.
I can certainly travel for my cave course(s), but…the nearest cave diving location is at least a 4 hour FLIGHT away. Even if I do manage to travel twice a year to cave dive, realistically, and given work/family commitments, at most I would only be doing 10-15 cave dives a year or so.
Interested to see if anyone here has been in similar shoes. Is it worth it to get cave training even if far away from a nearby “cave country” ? If yes, why? I don’t want to spend money, time, and effort on an endeavor that I can’t partake in often unless there are other, less obvious, benefits.
