    Personally, I think the Florida method of marking jumps vs exits is more intuitive; two arrows mark a jump, the passage of which has an opening as indicated by the two arrows (one representing each wall of the opening). The gap between the arrows indicates a precise location to tie off the jump line. The arrows continue to indicate the location of the exit. Of course the vast majority of my cave diving has been in the USA so its the system that I'm familiar with. I can see where it coud be confusing if its the complete opposite of the system you're used to. I do think its the more sensible method though. If there were an attempt to standardize a system my vote would be for that method -not that I'd get a vote

    In MX there are quite a few triple arrow jumps. 2 arrows pointing to the "closest" exit and one arrow pointing the other way towards an alternate exit.

    ----<--<-->-----
    closest on left and alternate on right in this example.

    I always reinforce my exit with a personal marker at jumps.

    I find that very confusing, but work if you understand it I think, I'd rather use a BIG arow and not 2 arrows, but well
