:lol:
Leaving in the Morning for 4 days of nothing but pure high octane, laughing in the face danger, throwing caution to the wind of CAVE diving.
We’re going to start this trip at The Devils Den and work our way north to the Orange springs.
You people try not to kill yourselves while I’m gone. (cause I want to watch)



Tables? We don’t need no stinking dive tables!...:lol: :lol:

yes my next post will be from a de/re comp chamber..:roll:

Thanks, We did have a blast even if we did get all the kinks the very first day of diving.
Started out with the boat motor shutting off every 6-8 minutes. Then the spring bowl was full of people, most non-divers. I would say around 100 people in a 70’x70’ area.
About 70 feet in the cave at a depth of 80 feet my reg failed. Had to use my “Spare Air” to exit. Which I was sucking water near the end.
Got out ok, reset with a back up reg and finished the dive. Penetrated to about 480 feet with a max depth of 120 feet.
On the way back to the ramp the motor completely died. Had to paddle 1 mile against a current. Got the boat loaded when the boat wench broke, got the boat pulled out when I noticed the tire was shredded, replaced with the spare tire that went flat every 20 minutes. Fixed that with a can of “fix a flat”
After the first day the rest of the trip was great.

We did hear two were killed last week in a sink about 300 yards to the south of us.
Neither of them were trained as cave divers.
