NSS Cavern Diving Manual

The NSS Cavern Diving Manual is the work of many dedicated cavers who are sharing their knowledge for the benefit of others who want to enjoy the sport. Contains many fascinating and informative photographs and hand drawings contributed by many members of this group. These photos and illustrations enrich the book, one of the most comprehensive reports on cave diving.

Mother Earth offers us a number of interesting and exciting places to dive. But few can surpass the natural splendor of some underwater caverns.
Although caves, for the most part, lack the variety and abundance of plant and animal life found on coral reefs and wrecks, the spectacle of large underground rooms filled with massive boulders, water-carved walls, columns, stalactites and stalagmites, has a stark beauty of its own.
Cavern diving allows you to go back in time, to explore the geological history of the Earth itself.
While cavern diving is fun, relaxing, pleasant—even an esthetically stimulating adventure—it is also a serious, technically specialized form of scuba diving requiring maturity, concentration, a safety-minded attitude, and above all—specialized training.
