Dear wreck divers,
This question is basically addressed to anyone that obtain cave as well as wreck diving experience alike. One can read often enough that wrecks and caves are different diciplines due to their different quality of environment. I am intrigued in what is common and what is different, though. For larger wreck penetrations, also lines and directional markers are laid, the propulsion techniques must be likewise highly developed as it is in caving and more of the like.
My question: how does the emergency exit compare with cave diving, especially when "touch-contacting" in zero-viz? If it is the same, then line-techniques are similar to those in the cave zone. But is this possible? How about line trapping? How do/would you manage this?
I do not want to evoke answers that are manageable by common sense or refer to basic overhead environment skills (although my question might fall in this category). I envision a delicate wreck environment to become an additional hazard and, in a worst case scenario, would collapse when divers bumped into the structure while no-viz-exiting.
