    Default Cave/Tech Wall

    Ok guys here is te deal. I work at a local dive shop and my boss has put me in charge of decorating a wall with nothing but cave and tech diving stuff. I have all of my cave gear that i am going to be haning on the wall, but i want to make this thing AWSOME! I can paint the wall if i want to and thought about taking some styrfoam and cutting them to make them look like rocks and run a line around the stuff on the wall. I really want to make this look cool but am kinda stuck on where to start. SO... I am asking if you had the chance to make your on "Cave Diving Wall" what would you do? I would like to make this as cheap as possible. Oh Yea and i have to have it done by saturday!!!

    There is no limit. We'll always find a way to go deeper and deeper. That's been the pattern all along.

    You should wallpaper the background with the credit card bills of technical/ cave divers if you really want to show what this type of diving is all about .

    I like the idea of the rocks & line, maybe with some arrows, a cookie, a properly installed jump reel...

    How about a STOP sign from the NACD, a Grim Reaper sign from the NSS-CDS, and a DVD player showing a continuous loop of "A Deceptively Easy Way To Die". And maybe a framed copy of the UWS cover from a few years ago showing a body being carried up from Orange Grove.

    The credit card receipt wall paper idea is great!

    Love the credit card deal!! I got a grim reaper sign and have put it on the door walking in to the room. i have put line arrows on all the line that is in the room i have a primary reel, a backup reel, and a jump spool all put together. Does anyone know where i can get a good poster cave map of jackson blue? Keep the ideas coming!!

    Cave Adventurers sells poster sized Jackson Blue maps. I'm sure the NSS CDS does as well.

    put a big sign with the conservation ethos : "Take nothing but pictures, Leave nothing but bubbles, Kill nothing but time " or more fitting perhaps "Leave nothing but bubbles. Kill nothing but vandals"

    I think I have a pic around with that painted on a rock if you want a copy for the wall

    If you put all of your gear on the wall then I guess you'll be having your boss buy you all new gear to replace it.

    Go to Ginnie and grab someone's spare bottle that's just lying around in the system not being used
