Physical abilities of the cave diving student are initially developed in open water exercises. During the cave diving course students are trained to avoid stressful situations and anticipate potentially hazardous conditions. The advancement of students is performance based not time. The cave diving student must learn to develop a safe diving philosophy and continually think through the proper application of common sense, good judgment, techniques, skills, and experience.
