I've done training dives in man made quarries under zero visibility conditions. There's no way in hell I'd go into an actual cave under those conditions.
It was bad enough when you'd almost run into a purposefully placed sculpture or bathtub in that flooded quarry.
You had to do a scavenger hunt to find stuff to pass your training and it was super disorienting.
I don't know if PADI still does that sort of thing or if it was unique to my training center conditions but it was wild.
I'll stick to open water, thank you very much.
Oh those sorts of training conditions absolutely still exist. I got my rescue diving certification in an old quarry much like what you said. Really helps make you appreciate the conditions when out in the Caribbean and you have >100 ft of visibility in every direction.
Oh, I totally agree with you. It's literally like night and day. You just transported me from those murky depths to those absolutely crystal clear Caribbean waters... So many fun memories in every condition.
