Please help us to prevent an accident in the DR

Trust me they really do not care.

Wording for the sign outside the cave:

"Dear unqualified dive guide,

If you take OW divers past the warning sign, and someone gets hurt, or dies, we will help the faimly sue your A$$ off"

[FW]

Maybe a better way would to talk the owners (it is in the national park, right?) into puting up a sign saying, "no lights, unless cave trained".

If necessary, offer to help pay for the sign.

This seems like something that a little diver education could go a long way to stopping. A lot of the recreational magazines make a point of stressing safe diving principles. I sent an email to DAN, Dive Training, and Scuba Diving, sending them a link to the YouTube video, and asking them to warn their readers of the dangers of going on these sort of dives. I encourage the rest of you to do the same.

As soon as i get my letter together on Sunday i will include dan in the list of people, that would be great if they also helped us out. I also send them an email too, thanks for your help.

so what if there is a no light rule and they take alight in?? whats the punishment?

[Neptuno]

hehehe... who is going to punish them anyways? it might help anyways, the park guide has to be around so it might be possible to "police" a bit

[phillip1]

You would get in very minimal trouble for carrying an unlicensed gun here, imagine a light, lol. Signs outside the cave and...
The letter, the letter it's the only way

Well, at least that's reasonable!

[phillip1]

Almost everyone here is carrying a gun, licensed and not.
