Kelly,
Good idea but I think you need an all of the above option. To get in the hall of fame you need to excell in several if not all categories. Just my opinion.

Everything you mentioned with the exception of creating gear. Bonus points to them if they did though.
The poll is set up where you can pick as many options as you want,so all of the above is 7 mouse clicks awayOriginally Posted by jlcdvr

You know gear creation and innovation is still very active. I have seen some pretty awesome things come out in the last few years,and I don't mean large manufacturers,but home cobbled things. Cave diving/divers have been the center of innovation that the open water industry benefits from,and this is alive and well.

I agree combinations of items set some divers above the rest. And many of the list items that divers accomplish go unknown by many because they are simply quiet about the things they do.

Yes, I try to remain modest. It is difficult, but I do try.
Any of the above, but done in a safe manner. There were some very famous Cave Divers, that did some of those to the extreme... that have no business in a Hall of Fame.
I think this is a status that should be awarded after retirement.

I agree with this. Working to improve safety and promote safe cave diving not only in the community, but in the individual's diving style should be considered above all.
