UNDERWATER CAVE SURVEY & CARTOGRAPHY

The Underwater Cave Survey & Cartography Diver course  is a training designed to learn how to map, explore and measure underwater caves. During the training, students will learn the techniques of collecting measurements, laying exploration ropes, documentation using video cameras, and drawing cave plans. The Underwater Cave Survey & Cartography training  is dedicated not only to previously unexplored cave systems, but also to applying new data to previously drawn maps, which are often not as accurate as we might think. New measurement concepts and new measurement technologies offer much greater possibilities than in earlier years  when maps were created, which are widely used to this day.
