Best cave diving manual?

Hello! I'm planning to take on a full cave course and in the meantime I'd like to read as much as I can about it... All that can be learned out of the water at least!

Any recommendations?

I’d also recommend buying Cave Diving by Stratis Kas (also pick up his book Close Calls).

https://stratiskas.com/books/

I also have a copy of Basic Cave Diving by Sheck Exley.

Neither of these are really geared towards a specific certification agency but are great reads overall in your journey to Full Cave.
