الغوص في الكهوف في Australia
Most Australian cave diving happens in the karst plain around Mount Gambier in South Australia, where clear groundwater fills sinkholes, spring ponds and cave passages. Further sites lie under the Nullarbor Plain in Western Australia, in New South Wales (Wellington, Burrinjuck and Glenbawn) and in the Northern Territory. The Cave Divers Association of Australia (CDAA) lists more than 40 sites in its directory and rates each one against its own qualification levels.
كيف يعمل الوصول
Access in South Australia is tied to CDAA membership: the CDAA rates sites as Basic Cave, Cave or Advanced Cave, members book sites through the CDAA or the land manager, and landowners or agencies set extra conditions such as indemnity forms, guides, keys and timeslots. Sites on state land around Mount Gambier (Piccaninnie Ponds, Fossil Cave, Gouldens and Sisters sinkholes) are booked through the South Australian Department for Environment and Water. Visitors from overseas who already hold cave certification can apply for a three-month CDAA visitor permit. Nullarbor caves in Western Australia need written applications to the relevant state agency weeks in advance.
