This Article has a NPOV tag inherited from the "extreme sports" article. Among every cave diving authority I've seen, there is no dispute that Cave diving is an extreme sport. Extreme as in darwinian. It is excluded from the extreme sports debate, and I'm removing the NPOV tag. EjayHire 01:35, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
There is a short article on cavern diving that seems to try and distinguish it from cave diving I think the two should be merged 71.107.82.58 04:37, 12 September 2006 (UTC)ratherhaveaheart
The fact there's a US and UK history section is silly. Those are but 2 countries of many, and their specific history in the sport is irrelevant to the topic. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 154.20.13.41 (talk • contribs) 20:26, 30 September 2006.
[edit] History
The history breakdown between UK and US (Florida) is very relevant to the evolution of the sport. In terms of techniques, equipment and philosophy.
The two major schools of cave diving has a significant effect of cave diving today.

[edit] Land and sea
I know little on this subject, but should there be some distinction made between cave diving in a sea environment and land based caving? Derek Andrews (talk) 21:26, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] External Links section
Seems to me there is alot of movement on the external links section with links added, deleted, and sometimes reposted since there are perhaps differing ideas on what should, and should not go there. I am suggesting some organization into subsections with external links being listed under 1 section that best represents to dominant or most significant content:
- Training organizations at both National and International levels.
- Cave Diving Scientific and Technical content (note - content on the cave themselves is better under caves, or perhaps a new entry on phreatic caves.) This would include mapping and diving software specific to the activity, decompression issues of particular relevance to cave diving, other, equipment technical specifications, other.
- Visual content and public education sites
- EXCLUDE/INCLUDE ? - Organised cave diving exploration groups however these may be better placed under the heading for the caves they have explored.
Does this have a logical structure and capture the breadth of the suitable material that should be included in this entry? Any thoughts and discussion? Anything missing? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ggpab (talk • contribs) 00:37, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
