In this personal movement and safety module you will learn about all the elements of progressing down a canyon. Initially from understanding your equipment, how to use it and the loads and forces that can be placed on it, to personal movement on rope and in water. 

A key skill as a canyoneer is to have the skill and knowledge to move efficiently on a rope, both up and down. This module covers the basics of single rope technique (SRT). You will learn how to descend using an improvised device, manage your friction, pass a re-belay and deviation as well as ascending and converting from ascent to descent on the rope.  

Most canyons around the world are aquatic; this module covers movement in water from identifying hazards, white water swimming to river crossing and duck diving. This module also covers more communication techniques and signals. 

This module is a great foundation to give you the skills and knowledge if you are new to canyoning and the canyon environment. This is a great benchmark for the ‘rigging and knotcraft’ and ‘descent management’ modules.
