Jacob's Well in Texas

[WEPIV]

Dived.

To further complicate matters, the past tense of going off a board is dove. The past tense of using scuba is dived. Don't ask me why.

From: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/dive

"Dive, which was originally a weak verb, developed a past tense dove, probably by analogy with verbs like drive, drove. Dove exists in some British dialects and has become the standard past tense especially in speech in some parts of Canada. In the United States dived and dove are both widespread in speech as past tense and past participle, with dove less common than dived in the south Midland area, and dived less common than dove in the Northern and north Midland areas. In writing, the past tense dived is usual in British English and somewhat more common in American English. Dove seems relatively rare as a past participle in writing."

I tried to look it up on the online AP Style Book but they apparently wanted to sell me a copy instead.

I dove the site back in the 90s down to the 3rd restriction gravel trap. Past that is for experienced sidemount / no- mount divers. There is / was a group who has pushed it quite far. However, it is closed to the public. A neat dive though.

There is some active work going on in JW, but unless you are part of the secret club you can't dive it...

A few years ago Edd was involved in exploration with the person who was leading it at the time (who's since moved away). Edd has lots of pics and I believe video. From talking to him, past the 4th chamber is sidemount only and the rocks are razor sharp.

Indeed. - It's about 45 minutes away from me.
