The CDF becomes one year old this July 2002. To celebrate this anniversary, the Cave Diver's Forum is sponsoring a social at Ginnie Springs Outdoors, on the 20th of July. ( Midwest divers, unable to attend this social in Florida, have their own social at Roubidoux. Contact Marvin Zaske at zdiver@misn.com .) We have the Devil's Eye Pavilion reserved all day. This is the pavilion closest to the river. Remember you can dive right up to midnight... We solicit your input, since, after all..... this is YOUR site and YOUR social. Please email Mr_Social@Cavediver.net (James Hurley) if you want to help or have any good ideas, suggestions or comments. |

jblack 04-20-2018 11:39 PMHi
interested in a Reef Scuba Pony Bottle X Bracket....looking to buy quick and pick up fast...will likely buy online tomorrow if no quick local options in Cave Country :)
Let me know
Rodney built it. It was an 18 conversion as well. The previous owner was saying something about special weights on the battery to trim the scooter out. I?ll have to look at it more when I test dive...
Sidemountdiver1999 04-20-2018 10:47 PMAlright! Only 10,000' more penetration and about 40,000' more of passage for me to get to. Almost thought I was running out of new places to see in JB.
Thanks ya'll for paving the way.
I had one but it was homebuilt and I could never get it to trim the way I wanted while towing. While on the trigger it was great! Good power and great range! Weight was 72lbs, not as bad as a 26...
Pullnglide 04-20-2018 05:32 PMPersonally, I think the NSS is right and WNS is going to have to run its course.
WNS is still spreading despite the best efforts, and seems likely to continue to do so.
An annual count of one...
Please tell me there's someone out there who doesn't mind diving Gennie or Peacock, or anywhere near high springs tomorrow 4/21????? I was supposed to meet a buddy here but they canceled last minute....
Ramseyedu 04-20-2018 04:02 PMThanks for the update Ben! Look forward to seeing the new map. Sounds like you may be close to connecting to Ginnie!

Thanks Ben. Didn't somebody find a means to go around the collapse you mentioned?
