Hello there!

My name is Michael J. Stark from Chicagoland. I am visiting my parents in Tampa area for Thanksgiving weekend but I will be here little early before that.

I am looking for a buddy. Never had a team of three before but it is a worth experience for me. Planned on diving at Peacock Spring and Ginnie Spring in one day but can split them in two days if you preferred to.

So, I need a buddy or two on either November 20, 21 or 22.
I am the IANTD Technical cave diver and was trained by Gary L. Taylor.

Hopefully, I will hear from you soon before November.
Thanks, Michael

I may be able to swing a dive with you on the 20th... at least you and I could communicate about the dive while in the water... (i am fluent in ASL) :D

Good evening,

I'm Ken Roop, full cave and trimix to 330'.

I cannot yet confirm definitively, but I will mark it, check with my boss(my wife), and say I want to. Keep me in mind.

Since you are in the Tampa area, have you thought about a 220' dive in
an Ocean Spring? It might be feasible if we can get 4 people qualified.

Best wishes and safe caving!

Good evening Lloyd,

There are 4 I've got in mind. The ones in close proximity to Tampa I've not dove yet but there are some further south than Tampa I have.

Naples Spring (Black Hole), Double Keyhole, Goliath Grouper Sink, and The Crack. Most of these are also syphons, it just depends upon the tides.

I don't think I can give locations on the forum. But I really have been looking for someone Qualified, willing and able to do the dives.

Best wishes and safe caving!
