 I'd be interested to. How long, how much, etc? I assume it would be at Rubi if done locally.

 I am not speaking for BigEd, but I will say when I did my class, to do full cave would take at least a full week.

Full cave cost $1200.  That is $300 for cavern

$300 Intro to cave

$300 Appr cave

$300 Full cave

Gear cost vary with need.  Bring a fist full..

Cave diving is extreme diving , not for everyne.  Only the fully commited should move in this direction.  This is not to discourage anyone, cavediving is very gradifing.
