The Cave Diving Down Under web site is a resource for ALL Australian cave divers: ASF-CDG, TDI, GUE, and CDAA.
As the site continues to grow in the coming months look forward to: expedition and dive reports, equipment reviews, information on cave diving sites across the country, cave maps, cave diving systems and training tips.
Join the discussion to keep up-to-date with the latest explorations, web site developments, and communicate with fellow cave divers on what is happening in cave diving in Australia.

Dave Warnes has been cave diving for about 50 years. At age 75 he is the oldest active cave diver in Australia. Dave started cave diving in the Lower South East in the 1960's. He sat on the steering committee for the development of cave diving standards after a series of cave diving fatalities in the late 60's and early 70's. Dave was elected the founding president of the Cave Divers Association of Australia and holds life membership with that organisation. He was responsible for discovery and exploration of a number of caves in the Lower South East and on the Nullarbor.

Let’s talk about… the S word |

Solo diving - there I said it. If you mention the S word at a dive site more often than not folks get a little freaked out, give you a funny look and assume that you have a death wish. It is easy to see why, the first SCUBA course teaches us two things; never hold your breath and always dive with a buddy. Yet the idea that solo diving will automatically kill you is akin to the myth that doing it solo will make you go blind.
