Hi guys,

Over the last week I took my Cave 2 course with David Rhea in Florida. We spent the first 2 days in the cave around High Springs and dived in Peacock and the famous Ginnie Springs cave system. We then went north to Marianna in Jackson County and dived Jackson Blue, Twin Cave and Hole in the wall. The diving is truly beautiful in warm waters and great visibility. Cave diving requires a certain discipline not found in ocean diving requiring finesse in propulsion techniques, buoyancy and trim to prevent silting out the cave. This course covers complex navigation including jumps, traverses, and circuits, we also covered decompression and stage diving which allows further penetration into the systems. To access the GUE Cave classes you must be certified in GUE Fundamentals.

Hope you enjoy the photos and I will try to get some video soon!

Congratulations to Katie, Phil, Camilla, Donna, Andrea, David, Tyne and John on Completing their Open Water Course. You guys certainly got lucky with the weather! Day 3 saw us dive at Bare Island were we got up close and personal with ‘bluey’ the friendly groper and on day 4 the guys got treated to a Big group of Port Jackson Sharks huddled under the ledge at Gordon’s bay. A Big thanks to our Divemaster’s in Training Andreas and Peter who got their first signatures and are one step closer to earning their PADI Professional Certification.

All the best on your Underwater Adventures

Tec 1 is designed to prepare divers for the rigors of technical diving and to familiarize them with the use of different breathing and decompression mixtures. Congratulations to Phil, Nicole and Cassandra who embraced this challenging and rewarding course. I look forward to taking you on the ‘check out’ dive.
