When Things Go Wrong

I personally would like to read an analysis ( aka Blueprint type ) of the dive.

I'm glad that everybody made it out. Kudos to Edd!

From what I gather a cave instructor abandoned his two students in a silted out side passage and swam out to get help... Turns out it was the right decision at the time after all!

Anyone care to elaborate on what actually happened to get the students to separate from the instructor?

Thank God JB has a lifeguard on duty! Way to go Edd.

Wow. Great to hear everyone is ok. Thanks to all involved!!

Heard about this while at the Outdoor Adventure Show in Toronto... very happy that the outcome was positive, and hardly surprised that Edd brought them out.

At least there is some good news from Cave Country from the weekend.

Way to go Edd, those are three lucky divers and they should buy you a lifetime pass to Madison's. Everyone else, kindly listen to El Jefe when an emergency is going down and stay out of the water and out of the way. I have no idea what happened but I do know that there are at least 19 lines in the first couple of hundred feet of JB and it's pretty easy to get turned around.

Obviously, I wish to commend Edd for his actions. This happy ending is an unusual occurence in the cave diving world.

That's all of the details I'll share here, for obvious or not so obvious reasons.

Thank God!!!! That Edd was there, and that Edd is . . . well, the best you can wish for!

There we're enough training directors present to maybe learn and make sure it doesn't happen again.

Gosh, I hope the story is revealed! I want to be the kind of diver that *never* needs Edd, or others of the IUCRR.

(Sorry, love ya Edd and Rob and Kevin, but never want to need ya!)

From hence forth, Edd is the "new" Chuck Norris.

If they made Edd Sorenson pajamas, Chuck would wear them.
