RAID CAVE 2 DIVER

As a graduate from RAID's Cave1 program, you have already experienced the "RAID difference." If you're coming into this program from another training stream, get ready to be challenged.

This program has been developed by professional cave instructors who are also avid cave divers who love diving in cave. And while this program pays homage and gives respect to traditional cave training techniques and limits, it adds additional skills that RAID's development team believes are required to execute "Full cave dives" safely, comfortably, and enjoyably.

For example, you will build on the entanglement/line repair, and buddy rescue you learned in you RAID Cave1 program. You'll also learn how to protect yourself by diving with a stage bottle. While some believe the use of a stage bottle equals further penetration, at RAID we feel a stage also gives divers time to learn more about the cave environment and its character.


Most of all, your RAID Cave2 program is intended to build a greater understanding and appreciation of the fragile cave environment. By enrolling in this RAID Cave2 program, you are making a commitment to become an ambassador for the Karst. And for that, we thank you.
