CDAA
- Cave Diving Association of Australia The CDAA was formed in September 1973.
At the time landowners throughout the Mount Gambier area of South Australia, were
contemplating the closure of all holes to diving for fear of legal liability following
a spate of diving fatalities in the water filled caves. With the forming of the
CDAA, sinkhole divers hoped to prevent the wholesale closure of the dive sites
by presenting a united voice in defence of their sport. They
wished to indicate to landowners and the public at large that they were able to
regulate their activities to acceptable standards of safety and training. The
newly formed CDAA set up a series of criteria and testing procedures. Initially
these were a listing of all the popular cave diving sites divided into three different
Categories based on their degree of difficulty. (This later expanded into the
four levels of training - Cavern, Sinkhole, Cave, and Penetration - that now exist
within the association). Cards were issued to divers to display to landowners
to indicate their competency. The
landowners gained confidence in the ability of the CDAA to produce safe divers
and, as a result, the holes remained open. The main aims and objectives of
the CDAA are to foster the development, advancement, promotion, mapping, education,
exploration, conservation, safety and research of underwater caves and related
features. |
