Cave Divers Association of Australia

The Cave Divers Association of Australia (CDAA) was founded in Mt Gambier, September 1973 by divers from Mt Gambier, Melbourne and New South Wales, following the tragedy of a series of cave diving accidents which resulted in several fatalities in the Mt Gambier area.

The first committee consisted of Eddie Gertners (president), Alan Day (vice president), Frank McGuire (secretary), Laurie Kristoff (treasurer) and committee members David Warnes, Neil Tindal, Roger Townley and Russell Pope.

The CDAA is Australia’s premier cave diver training organisation. It provides an essential forum for promotion of education in all forms of cave diving, the advancement and development of cave diving, safe methods of cave diving exploration and the research and mapping of underwater cave systems throughout Australia and overseas. Its primary newsletter is called “Guidelines” and the latest edition can be found on their website. The ASF Library also holds a few copies of an Information Bulletin and several 'editions' of the CDAA constitution.

The CDAA is not an ASF affiliated club, but many of its members are also ASF members and the two organisations share a love of caves and a deep respect for the difficulties of exploration under what can sometimes be trying circumstances.
