Full Cave.
The ultimate of diving courses. Seven days, twelve dives, autonomous cave-team certification — complex navigation, jumps, traverses, circuits.
What this
course is.
Full Cave is the most demanding training Scuba Murcia teaches. Twelve dives across seven to eight intensive days in Cueva del Agua — Europe's only warm-water cenote, 28 °C, gin-clear, and big enough to humble you. By the end you and your buddy are an autonomous cave team: you plan, you execute, you respond to failures together, and the certification on the card means it.
Honest about
the cohort.
- Certified Intro to Cave divers ready to upgrade to autonomous Full Cave team status.
- Cavern-certified divers prepared to take the intensive 7–8 day route covering Intro and Full Cave together.
- Technical divers with a strong deco base who want the most challenging course in our programme.
Drilled until
it's boring.
Skills are not a list to tick — they are habits to build. We drill them on land, drill them in the shallows, then take them into the dive.
Complex navigation
Mainline, jumps, gaps, circuits, traverses. Build the mental map and keep it.
Line work
Lay line. Pick up line. Tie off correctly under task loading. Repeat.
Markers & disciplines
Personal markers, directional and non-directional arrows. Used right or not at all.
Catastrophic gas loss
Out-of-gas drills with hundreds of metres of cave between you and daylight.
Zero-visibility procedures
Silt-out drills, touch-contact, team comms when you cannot see your hand.
Cut line / lost line drills
Repair, replace, return. Calmly. Methodically.
Stress analysis
Reading your own stress. Reading your buddy's. Calling the dive without ego.
Team awareness
Spacing, light signals, positional discipline. The team dives one dive.
The shape
of the week.
