STAGE CAVE DIVING
Stage cave diving is an advanced diving technique used primarily for exploring deep or long cave systems. It involves bringing extra tanks, known as "stage tanks," to extend the diver’s range and bottom time beyond what a single tank setup would allow. This method allows divers to reach further into a cave system by placing these tanks at strategic points along the route.

Here's an overview of some of the key aspects of stage cave diving:

1. Stage Tanks

These are additional tanks carried by the diver or staged (placed) along the cave route. The diver breathes from these tanks early in the dive, conserving the air in their primary tanks for the return journey.

Divers may carry multiple stage tanks depending on the length and depth of the planned dive, and each stage tank is often marked and planned for a specific part of the dive.

2. Dive Planning

Detailed dive planning is crucial for stage diving due to the complex logistics of air management, navigation, and potential hazards.

Divers often map out distances, drop points for stage tanks, turnaround points, and emergency exits. Planning includes air reserves and redundancy in case a tank fails.

3. Equipment Redundancy

Redundant systems are essential for safety in case of equipment failure. This includes backup regulators, lights, and sometimes additional backup tanks.

Stage divers also carry navigation tools, such as line arrows or cookies, to mark their path in and out of the cave, ensuring they don’t get lost.

4. Gas Management

Gas management for stage cave diving is precise. The rule of thirds is commonly applied, where the diver reserves one-third of their air supply for the way in, one-third for the way out, and one-third as an emergency reserve.

However, in stage diving, additional reserves are needed since each stage tank needs to be accounted for in the overall gas management plan.

5. Skills and Training

Stage cave diving requires advanced training in technical diving, including cave diving, decompression diving, and sometimes trimix diving for deep dives.

Divers must also be proficient in managing multiple tanks, as well as navigating tight spaces, low visibility...

Double Tanks
In cave diving, "double tanks" refer to a configuration where a diver uses two tanks (also called cylinders) instead of one. This setup is crucial for deep or technical cave dives due to the increased safety, redundancy, and extended air supply it provides. Here’s why double tanks are essential for cave diving:

1. Redundancy and Safety

In overhead environments like caves, where a direct ascent to the surface isn't possible, equipment redundancy is vital. Double tanks allow divers to have two separate sources of air, usually connected by an isolation manifold. If one regulator or tank fails, the diver can isolate the problem and still have access to the remaining gas supply from the other tank.

2. Extended Air Supply

Cave dives often last longer than recreational dives, and the double-tank setup allows divers to carry a much larger volume of gas. This is important for maintaining sufficient air supply for both the planned dive and emergencies, like unexpected delays or navigation challenges.

3. Gas Management

Diving in caves typically involves using various gas mixtures (like Nitrox or Trimix) depending on depth and dive duration. Double tanks help divers better manage these gas supplies. Divers may carry different gases in each tank, ensuring they have access to the right mixture at different points in the dive.

4. Buoyancy and Trim

With double tanks, the diver's center of gravity is more evenly distributed, which can help maintain good buoyancy and trim in the water. Proper trim is critical in caves where narrow passages and delicate formations require precise movement.

5. Manifold and Regulator Setup

The tanks are usually connected with an isolation manifold, which links the two tanks but allows them to function independently in case of a problem. Divers will have two first stages (one per tank) and two regulators, giving them the option to breathe from either tank and increasing the safety margin.

6. Technical Diving Standards

In technical diving, especially in cave environments, double tanks are part of the standard setup required for certification. Cave diving agencies like the National Speleological Society-Cave Dive Section.

IANTD BUZO DE CUEVAS
Te platico como es el programa de buceo en cuevas que imparto, La certificación es IANTD el curso esta diseñado en tres niveles y/o secciones porque es progresivo y tiene una duración de 8 días los candidatos que están familiarizados con el buceo técnico y con la teoría son los estudiantes que se les facilita mas el curso a los candidatos que vienen de la escuela de buceo recreativo con vago conocimiento en el área son los candidatos a tener dificultades durante el programa.

Si no estas familiarizado con el buceo técnico de cueva lo que yo te sugiero es que tomes en conjunto o aparte el curso de Essential que es un curso de introducción al buceo técnico que es muy diferente al buceo recreacional, la diferencia radica en la disciplina, habilidades, determinación, dedicacion en el buceo recreacional no existe disciplina alguna y en el buceo técnico somos muy rígidos.

El curso de Essential tiene un duración de 5 días y en conjunto con el de cuevas son 11 días en total.

El programa puede ser impartido en back mount o side mount siempre y cuando estés certificado en side mount.

Los 8 días de entrenamiento en cueva se dividen de la siguiente manera:

Dia 1- Papeleo, Teoría, equipo, procedimientos de emergencia

Dia 2 - Land drills, Aguas confinadas, 1 buceo de introducciones al ambiente techado (caverna)

Dia 3 - Land drills, 2 Buceos en caverna por la mañana, Lunch, 1 buceo por la tarde (caverna)

Dia 4 - Land drills, 2 Buceos por la Mañana (Caverna), Lunch, examen, 2 buceos por la tarde (Intro to cave)

Dia 5 - Land drill, 2 buceos, Lunch, examen Land drills transición a buceo en cueva Navegación compleja

Dia 6- Land drill, 1 buceo por la mañana, Lunch 1 buceo por la tarde

Dia 7 - Land drills, 1 buceo por la mañana, Lunch, 1 buceo por la tarde

Dia 8 - Land drills, 1 buceo por la mañana, Lunch, 1 buceo por la tarde, examen.

Una vez que tu confirmes las fechas te voy a enviar por correo electrónico todos los papeles que hay que leer y llenar como forma medica, descargo de responsabilidades, hoja de proceso de certificación, exámenes, formas para la calificación, que todo debe ser impreso y llenado para el primer día del curso.
