The Devil dives Ginnie tonite
His plan is to cause such a fright
Use his eye or his ear
Which causes more fear?
Which tunnel, the left or the right

From Hell he had followed gold line
Til he came to a cute little sign
He blinked and he twitched
Cause he didn’t know which
Would cause the most havoc this time

He gave a great heave and a sigh
He decided to not even try
With no damage done
And harm to no one
He gave tonights divers safe by


Git-R-Dun Diver

#1 ------------------------------

I had a buddy who's name was Dave
All he ever wanted was to dive in a cave
So one day he ventured into the hole
Not realizing it would cost him his soul
Now there's nothing else he craves

He found it to be dark and scary
The situation soon got harry
He lost his way from the gold line
He knew that he was short on time
He started crying to Mother Mary

As he waited for his time to die
A dark dressed stranger came swimming by
Old mother Mary was no where to be found
It was the Grimm Reaper swimming around
In a cave he would say his last goodbye

He begged and pleaded to make a deal
His soul he would trade for one last meal
The reeper laughed and said with a smile
Why don't you just stay for a while
But the reeper gave in and passed him a reel

Now it is his soul he owes
But he made sure that no one knows
He will live the rest of his life
Never knowing if tonights the night
The reeper will come to get what is owed

The air in my tank became colder
I knew I shouldn’t be bolder
So I turned and swam fast
As I felt the hot blast
And it came up and grabbed me by my shoulder

It was so very, very near
My life, although short, was so dear
And yet with great dread
I knew I was dead
That, my friend, is the true meaning of fear

As I ponder and I take stock,
Of my life, barrel and crock,
I shudder one time
Say a goodbye so sublime
And now I will haunt you at Peacock

#2 ------------------------------

Through the cave, I heard a soft bubble
I knew then that I was in trouble
The air, it was lost
My valve, it was frost
My bones are still in the rubble

#3 ------------------------------

The newbie cave diver went to the well
And this is the story she wanted to tell
She was brave, she was new
Rules are not for me, only you
And the cave, it became her own cell

MORGAN

Two divers one Halloween night,
Dove a cave with no training, one light...
In the Stygian pools
Where the Grim Reaper rules
They died, not of drowning, but fright!

There was a cave diver from Live Oak;
Who bought a rebreather, and is flat broke;
The payments, you see;
Were just too much for he;
So his wife made his life a living hell from which light can not enter nor escape, and thats no joke!

There was a cave diver from Live Oak
Who bought his wife a rebreather and is flat broke
The payment you see
Is just too much for he
So his wife screamed "Get a second job deadbeat, I need more Sorb", and that's no joke!

On one dark night
he grabbed his light
dive gear on, he headed down there
into cave that does grown men scare
oblivious to upcoming plight

his plan turned into hell
as he swam into the well
his fin kicked up silt
in his mind it built
a panic he tried to quell

Ok-ing the line
he was doing fine
until he reached a visual
(he broke a rule, the criminal)
and now had not much time

He had lost the route
and air-- he was out
there his body stayed
until the recovery made
a family left without

We all pay heed to that fellow
whose worry was all too mellow
by checking our lights
and shaking off frights
refusing to be called yellow

Sometimes we go for a dive
in submerged caves we thrive
but let us never forget
that diver's fatal last bet
when we excuses contrive

Into a hole did Cavern Diver Joe go
Kicking way too hard against the flow
He was also breathing way too hard
All because he wanted that Intro Cave card
Obviously Cavern Diver Joe was no pro

Sixty minutes into the dive he got tired
Breathing nitrox 40% got him wired
The depth was merely one hundred eighty
Narcosis caused his head to feel weighty
As a diver he should have been fired

Though it was not his main aim
Somehow he made a name and got fame
Cave divers got together to form a quorum
They made him a moderator for this forum
Now each day he administers blame and flame

Into the darkness, not knowing when,
Something splits that grenade and safety pin.
Don't shrug it, you might be next,
Problems simple, to quite complex.
Now who notifies next of kin?

#2 ------------------------------

Cave diving is meant to be fun,
But no, no, not for this one.
He smiled and laughed,
Until he ran out of gas.
One less mother's son...

"I'll do it, I swear, I'm no tool"
"You can do it, I can do it, see, I'm cool"
They ran new line,
Now he's dead like the sign.
Go learn the skills in school...

There once was a caver named Mike,
Where he dove, your heartbeat it did spike,
With a tank on each side,
Through the crack he did slide,
The grim reaper was nowhere in sight.

#2 ------------------------------

If you've been on this site for awhile
His number of post will make you smile
He built his first cave diving toy,
When the Reeper was just a young boy
And he's still laying line by the mile

#3 ------------------------------

With pink fins and duct tape she goes in
And she kissses the grim reepers chin
When asked why she does it each time
She replied for good luck with the line
But she still has to run the reel in

#4 ------------------------------

he brung hes famouss cold slaw
all hes grace without flaw
He scooter into JB
with FW U C
and the reaper now wants a new law

#5 ------------------------------

He came down from the hills,
to see all Florida's thrills
With a G.E.M. round his neck,
Some locals tried giving him heck
but he'll have air when it's not just for drills

#6 ------------------------------

A great Ozark cave teacher
at some forums a speaker
So tall and so thin
in small cracks he will bend
For Halloween he should play the grim reaper

On a dare, a cave diving knave
Spent Halloween night alone in a cave
There would be nothing to it
He’d be fine, he just knew it
And oh how his buddies would rave!

But trouble was waiting below
As all serious cave divers know
You do everything right
But in a moment of fright
Out the window your logic can go

Lights checked, reels attached, down he goes
Past the log, then the chimney, how it flows
He passes the sign,
Ties off to the line,
He’s loving this life that he chose.

His plan is to swim to the split,
Turn the dive, leave the eye, that is it
Then log onto the forum,
And with utmost decorum,
A great dive report he’ll submit.

Ah, but fate has a different plan,
For this robust and impudent man
How dare he intrude
On this night, it’s just rude
Learn humility this fellow can.

Just as he passes the mud,
He’s jolted by a violent thud
As his gas is escaping
His heart begins racing
And he feels a chill in his blood.

A problem he has, this he knows
His manifold valve he must close
But he’s diving wet
So his suit’s like a net
And that’s just the start of his woes.

Though he manages to save some gas
He can’t see a thing through his mask
For while he was reeling
He crashed into the ceiling
And his light took a hit to the glass.

Panic begins to set in
He grabs for his backup and then
It fall to the floor
To be seen no more
And his other one was on coming in.

No lights, off the line, in a pinch
He thought this would be such a cinch
But the reaper’s been called
And hovers there by the wall
Chuckling just like the Grinch

But out of the darkness, a light
He sees in the midst of his fright
A hand on his tanks
He starts to give thanks
He won’t buy the farm tonight

He’s on a seven foot hose
At the lips he finally slows
Back on his tanks,
He turns to give thanks
But through the keyhole his savior goes.

He never got the man’s name
No glory, no renown, no fame
Just a ghost from within
With SB on his fins
Heading back from whence he came.

A cave diver plans his flight
To begin on halloween night
A few kicks in
Turns tail to the wind
The Grim Reaper sign, such a fright!

The Devil came down from Georgia,
To High Springs to dive,
With lights, scooter, and reels,
And a dull gleam in his eyes,
For a soul Tonight, He’d try!

The Devil drove down from Georgia,
On Halloween Eve to dive,
With black rubber suit, fins, and hood,
And a mask to hide his eyes,
For a soul Tonight, He’d try!

The Devil came down from Georgia,
The Devil’s own system to dive,
With stealth, and cunning swimming,
And patients, with plenty of time on his side,
“I must a soul Tonight, I’ll try”!

The Devil came down from Georgia,
To High Springs to dive,
With an old caver he scootered,
And pushed to the end of the line,
A soul for him, this night, someone must surely die.

The Devil went back to Georgia,
The Trick or Treat had failed,
With a trained cave diver that survived
When everything started to fail,
No soul that night, Old Scratch had simply failed.

When gothic winds haunt October
Swim the river bold and sober
Encounter your host
The Telford cave ghost
Obey 5 Rules or game over!

#2 ------------------------------

"The horror, the horror," remarked Kurtz
The DIR Philosophy hurts
Don't drink the Kool-Aid
For you will be made
A zombie-like creature in spurts
