Yes, anyone can join. You don't even have to be cavern trained/certified, or a diver for that matter! :D
Forrest,
Thanks for providing pretty accurate answers there! The SM tanks were steel and i didnt want to dump them for buoyancy reasons. While the rebreather is theoretically removable, it's a PITA to do so, and in fact in my latest config it cannot be removed. However in my latest version I hae also gone entirely to Al80's in order to be able to dump more cylinders safely. I now move through restrictions pushing one 80 ahead, bringing 1 behind between my legs, with the RB sm on the left. Allows one to pass through pretty small spaces.
Andrew and Forrest thanks for clearing this up for me.

How are you parking regs so they don't get bumped & scraped when the tank is between your legs?
I have yet to attempt any restrictions, but planning several future dives in VA caves, I'm sure I'll eventually come across something where this might come in handy.
Thanks,

Very funny. Try "goelfyourself" would make a good one.
Great article Andrew. Thanks for being upfront and sharing your experience. This is the sort of incident all cave divers can learn from.
