Divers learn to navigate using a constant 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 are either non-directional or directional and must be visible at all times. Also known as the diver's jumping line, the diver's guideline can also be called the diver's jumpline. It connects diver's lines, and can also be used to provide safety in the event of an emergency.
To help them navigate through caves, divers use three types of markers. For visual and tactile guidance, the line arrows or permanent marker are used. They can also be used as a way to point to the exit. They are also used to indicate jump locations in the cave.
They should be able find lost guidelines.
When diving into caves, one of the most important safety skills a diver should possess is the ability to locate a lost line. Divers can use a variety of techniques to locate a guideline. You can use a touch signal or an underwater chart to locate a guideline.
The guideline is used to mark a safe route through a cave and diver should know how to use it. Depending on how far the diver is going to be diving, the guideline will often be attached to a reel or spool. For example, an open water diver may only need to have a 50-metre guideline, while a cave diver may need several reels of varying lengths.
They must have the appropriate equipment
When diving into caves, it's essential to have the right scuba equipment to make sure that you're comfortable and safe. Cave water can be very cold so it's a good idea to have a wetsuit if you plan on doing a long dive. It's a good idea to have a waterproof notebook handy so you can keep track of any important information. These notes can be very useful during navigation in the cave and at decompression stops.
Divers should have additional fins, and oxygen cylinders. Cave diving is a dangerous activity, and divers must have the right equipment to avoid injury. Cave divers require specialized equipment, as many caves can be dangerous due to their high water pressure. The equipment can be very heavy so you need to choose the right 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 the diver has entered the cave, they must remove the scooter from the water and swim for three to four hundred yards until they reach the end. Some parts of the cave are very narrow and may contain large quantities of silt. The dive to the end is quite simple but diver should not actively search for the marker. The training process involves team protocols, blind staging, and simulation of a silt-out caused by a tank dropped on sediment.
