Lately I have noticed more divers exiting high on the wall opposite the line. (Where divers usually enter) I do not know what trend that represents but that may explain why people entering with scooters are encountering the divers, normally they would not be anywhere near each other in the gallery.
:blackbar3 i am writing the book, How to be a pc cave diver. By The Gypsy.
I will cover how to properly lay a line, how to look like a kitten with a ball of yarn, what to do when others are exiting, How to deal with evil scooter divers that think, Goose its time to buzz the diver. Games to play with a used cath.
What to do with gear you find. how to be a good cave diving host. What to tell your wife, husband, boyfriend, girlfriend, when your diving on some big day. like his or her birthday. And how to get out of jail free after getting busted for sneak diving. i will be pre-selling copies, so send 29.95 to paypal caver95 at aol.com. The First edition will be shipping as soon as it gets back from the printers i only have 10,000 copies it is sure to be a best seller so getum now!!!

Even stopped on exit outside restrictions to let several teams thru, seems like the way it should be taught. (was in mine). Now, I did see many teams hanging out in either entrance getting things sorted out and was waved thru many times due to the backups. Oh yea, BTW, eight day wonder. :twisted:

Gees, I feel for you guys! You missed out on begging your instructor for a card after a year of training! I would think you men are the exception to the rule...Quote:

I am very blessed to be able to be here diving each week and around all you all who are an inspiration to my spirit and mind. I love you guys, Cindy :D
Gee, your instructor's initials: SF?Quote:

Oh Lee, not everyone has your brains, money or looks. We are talking about the average Joe Diver Dude. Cindy :D
My instructor wouldn't give you your Full Cave card until you had accomplished a number of tasks, one of which was the Mile Run at Peacock (Orange Grove to Peacock 1). Because of a number of circumstances, one being the floods of 1997 and 1998, it was OVER a year between my taking Full Cave and actually getting my Full Cave card. Try February 1997 until October 1998.Quote:
