History

The Cave Diving Group was established in 1946 by a group of caving enthusiasts who were interested in exploring underwater caves. The organization was initially formed to provide a platform for the exchange of information and ideas among its members. Over the years, the CDG has evolved to include a comprehensive training program and a strong focus on the conservation of underwater cave environments.

Training

The CDG offers a structured training program for its members. The training is designed to equip divers with the skills and knowledge necessary to safely explore underwater caves. The program includes theoretical instruction on topics such as decompression sickness, equipment configuration, and cave navigation, as well as practical training in underwater cave environments.

Conservation

The Cave Diving Group is committed to the conservation of underwater cave environments. The organization promotes responsible diving practices to minimize the impact on these fragile ecosystems. It also works closely with other conservation organizations and government agencies to protect and preserve underwater caves.

Notable Members

Over the years, the Cave Diving Group has been home to many notable members. These include Martyn Farr, a world-renowned cave diver and author of several books on the subject, and Rick Stanton, a leading figure in the field of cave rescue.
