    Default disgusting problem at JB

    So I know as cave divers we are supposed to tred light. On the occasion I find some trash at JB. A wraper from something bought at EDD's or o-rings, zip ties laying around. I normal walk around barefoot at JB when bringing my tanks down to the water..in the future could whoever dives on the hill please not throw there used condoms on the ground. I found 3 of them last time I was there.. Some things I refuse to pick up.

    Obviously left by cave divers and a good way to put us in a bad light with those that allow us to access JB. Unfortunately not an isolated incident. This happens frequently there and other locations.

    IM sure it does. but how can some one carry 100lb tanks to the water and then be too lazy to throw there condoms in the trash. you cant throw a rock up there without hitting a trash can. or at least put your used ones in your instructors van when hes not looking......been working good for me so far

    I see used condom catheters laying on the ground at Ginnie, Little River, Madison & PSSP frequently.

    I for one am not inclined to always walk across the parking lot to a trash can to throw away a used condom cath. It ends up in the trash bag in my car instead, so it will remain my problem to deal with / clean out later. There just isn't any excuse to leave them laying around a dive site.

    Ban pee valves. That would resolve the problem.

    Hmmm...Pee Valve Control as an issue in the next presidential election...

    Hopefully the National Pee Valve Association will committ their powerful lobby to prevent a pee valve ban from ocurring.
