IWR an option

[Kelly Jessop]

In response to a request I am making this poll. With chambers that will take divers becoming harder to access in "cave country", is IWR something you would have an interest in learning and having as an available tool for yourself.

Thanks, Kelly!

I encourage everyone to read our research article on the topic. It can be downloaded at researchgate.

I'm surprised no one's teaching it as a specialty yet...

Safe diving.

Yes, I was just going to mention this as I remembered him telling us at a CDS workshop in Lake City either this past year or the year before. Very entertaining dude with an interesting background.

I hope never to use IWR (or take a chamber ride) but would like to have the knowledge to use it if necessary. Another tool in the box.
