CDAA
An Australian membership body that negotiates access to cave-diving sites with landowners, rates sites by category, and runs its own Basic Cave, Cave and Advanced Cave training.
The CDAA describes itself as working for members and landowners to facilitate access to Australian cave-diving sites, and says it has access to more than 50 sites; certified cave divers from elsewhere can apply for a three-month visitor permit [1]. It publishes a quarterly magazine, Guidelines [1].
The CDAA ties training to its own site-rating categories. Its training page defines Cavern sites (fresh water no deeper than 20 m with daylight always visible), Sinkhole sites (deeper than 20 m), Cave sites and Advanced Cave sites [2]. Its course ladder is Basic Cave Diver (for Cavern and Sinkhole sites), Cave Diver and Advanced Cave Diver, with a crossover route for divers certified by other agencies under a CDAA policy [2][3][4][5].
