Cave Explorer Level 2
Purpose
The ISE Cave Explorer Level 2 is the second in a series of three courses designed to develop full cave diving proficiency. This a very demanding course that seeks to refine the cave diving techniques of divers who have mastered the requirements of the ISE Cave Explorer Level 1.
To succeed in this course, students must be practiced in the basic aspects of cave diving and comfortable in the use of double tanks/cylinders. The ISE Cave Explorer Level 2 builds upon skills learnt previously, focusing on extending essential cave diving techniques.
These skills include: a focus on environmental awareness, dive buddy awareness, problem resolution, stress management, and advanced navigation. This course is heavily experience-based, and includes many practical, task-oriented skills that must be mastered before a student is competent to dive at this level.
