    Default How Long?

    Talking with a friend the other day, he made the comment that cave divers last about five years, then wander off to other things, unless they find something more to do than "simply" dive the known florida caves. It made me wonder if that's true.

    I guess that makes you a "D" diver! (10+ years). But we all know how uncommon you are!

    You should ahve made the "A" diver 0-2 years. There is no place for a brand new diver to vote.

    I started Cave Diving in '97. I had a whole mess of kids, took a long break, and just now came back. I always missed it, but never had the time or money to keep pursuiing it. I'm back now, and sincerely hope i'm still cave diving well into the future.

    Most of them won't even come onto a forum, because they remember the old cavediver listserver.
