Very nice pics. Thanks for sharing.
Nice viz!
Yeah, we had 100 feet upstream, 60 or so downstream, I don't know what this rain is going to do though. 20 in the cavern, basin was green.Quote:

Yes, you get a little Abe Davis sticker for your card. Requirements for diving Indian are 100 cave dives post full cave training, normoxic trimix, and DAN insurance. And you must go with one of the authorized guides for the system. I believe there are only about a dozen. For anyone who is interested, we are offering free guided dives (still have to give the $25 donation to the camp and pay for your own gas) to any paid NSS-CDS Workshop attendee who meets minimum requirements. Guided dives are being conducted Sunday, May 29. Sign up when you register to attend the workshop at www.nsscds.org
would having my own chamber qualify as insurance....:) or the military?
and are you a guide RN? I assume I will have a chance to dive this cave again once I get the appropriate expierience
No, unfortunately, I'm not a guide. I do have enough dives in it to scooter it, though. Just need to make the time to set something up with one of the guides.
when does camp start?
Sometime in June.
Camp starts late May this year. Usually there is staff around for a couple of weeks before the kids get there.Quote:
