Training drills permitted on listed lines

Training drills permitted on listed lines: CREER approved cave training site [2] (Mainline to first restriction, first 100 m of Double Domes line; lost-line drills in the cavern zone.). These categories are the named scheme's own; they describe the training a site calls for.

A cave-diving entrance listed by CREER as Cristal/Naharon, with designated training areas on its mainline and Double Domes line.

Naharon, also referred to by CREER as Cristal/Naharon, is a cave-diving site used for training. CREER's training rules allow zero-visibility drills on the Naharon mainline up to the first restriction (a section narrow enough to restrict a diver's movement) and on the first 100 m of the Double Domes line, and lost-line drills in the cavern zone.

In April 2024 CREER proposed fitting Cristal/Naharon with the information-rich arrow system first trialled at Mayan Blue, subject to a community vote. Naharon does not appear on CREER's list of rated cenotes for guided single-tank cavern tours. The sources consulted give no surveyed length, depth or system membership.

The environment

Cave passages with a restriction on the mainline; cavern zone used for lost-line drills.
