Yo' Chrios, welcome to Scuba-SE. As Carl mentioned check out the GUE site
for cave training info. There are a couple of GUE instructors on the west
coast. My advice would be to seek them out. What ever you do, don't do the
fast track course. Do Cavern and Intro and take some time at the intro level
and do plenty of dives before you go on to full cave. Should you come out
east to do your cave training, I can highly recommend Pat Watson.
