research diving buddies needed

[jason]

I'm in and out of cave country for most of November conducting research dives (under a DEP permit) at Peacock and Madison. The goal of the study is to understand how river intrusion during floods affects caves and the surrounding aquifers. Between November 8 and 10 (and maybe 11), I'll need to do a series of dives at both sites to install tubing for long-term water sampling, to make 'maps' of water chemistry in Peacock and also to collect some samples. If anyone is available to help, either as a dive buddy for me, or to help run sensors through different parts of the cave, I could really use the help. I have to make a quick run back to the University of Texas around the 14th-18th but will be needing a buddy/volunteers for other dives between the 21st (ish) and the end of November. Please send me an email at gulley dot jason at gmail if you're interested in helping out.

To what level of training will you be diving? Unfortunately I'm only cavern until mid-December. I'd love to help otherwise. I work at FDEP in the Watershed Monitoring Program.

Jason-I sent you a PM

Thanks for the interest. For the most part, I need folks that are full cave. There are a few dives that might work out for intro divers.
