Divers are trained to navigate with a continuous guideline
Divers are trained to use a continuous guideline in cave diving, to make the journey from the entrance to the surface easier and safer. These lines may be non-directional or directional, and must be visible even in low visibility. Diver's guideline, also known as diver's leap line, is also called this. It connects the diver's lines and is also used as a safety line in case of a problem.
Divers use three main types to navigate caves: For visual and tactile guidance, the line arrows or permanent marker are used. The arrows also indicate the direction of the exit. They are also used to indicate jump locations in the cave.
They must be able to find a lost guideline
A diver must be able to locate a lost guideline when they dive into a cave. A diver can use several methods to find a guideline. Using a touch signal, a compass, or an underwater map can all be helpful.
A guideline is used by divers to indicate safe passage through caves. The guideline is often mounted on a reel or spool, depending on how long the diver needs to dive. An example of this is an open water diver who may only require a 50-metre guidance line. However, a cave diver will need multiple reels with different lengths.
They need the right equipment
You need to be comfortable and safe when diving in caves. Cave water can be very cold so it's a good idea to have a wetsuit if you plan on doing a long dive. A waterproof notebook is a great idea, as it can be used to record any reference information that you need during your dive. These notes can be helpful during decompression stops or navigation within the cave.
Divers should also be equipped with extra fins or oxygen cylinders. Cave diving is dangerous. Divers must be equipped with the right equipment to avoid injury. Cave divers must have special equipment because many caves are subject to high water pressure. You need to be careful when selecting your equipment.
They must have disciplined self control
To dive into caves, you must be disciplined and have a good safety training. Cave divers must be able to use their senses and not rely on their knowledge of cave environments. Cave divers should be able to maintain calm and control their breathing in these situations.
Once in the cave, the diver should drop his scooter and swim the three- to four hundred foot distance until the end. Some caves are extremely narrow and can contain large amounts of silt. Although it is easy to dive to the end, the diver should not actively seek out the end marker. Training includes team protocols, blind staging and simulation of a sediment-out due to a tank dropping on sediment.
