The cavern zone is determined as the area of the cave where daylight from the entrance is still visible. The moment daylight disappears, you have left the cavern zone and entered into the cave.

With the SSI Cavern & Cenote Diving class, you will be introduced into the realm of diving in overhead environments and how to navigate these areas safely. Proper trim and bouyancy control are key skills for cavern and cave diving. This course will challenge you to fine tune those skills, and it is the first step towards becoming a Cave Diver.
