Cavern diving
Requiring specialised training, this involves diving into an overhead environment including caves, abandoned mines or quarries and natural springs or sinkholes; differs from Cave Diving in that the exit should always be visible. "Overhead environment" means a structure exists which prevents the diver from making a direct vertical ascent to the surface.
