    After any heavy rain we end up having to repair the line on the first dive after floods, the sumps are small so therefore have high flow in small passage. We normally get the poly-prop in 220M bundles at about £4.50p a go .

    In one sump we dived to an underwater dig a large amount of twin copper insulated wire had been left from an attempt in the 1970,s to blast a way through a blockage (it was used to fire bang). We used to dive with wire cutters just in case.

    Pubs are good meeting venue and the beers are on you next time you are over Forrest



    This is the entrance to Porth-yr-Ogof Tradesman me around 1988.

    I've never seen a storm trooper dive before, and the other guy looks like he just got squished.

    Damn... Gives new meaning to "tight".

    When I first read this poll, I thought he was asking about color for lines. Especially since I knew that Many Mexico caves use white line for the main line. I thought that was kinda funny.

    That's what I thought, and that is what I voted on. That is also why I said I preferred hi vis pink line. I did not realize it was asking what I felt better psychologically diving and which line be it main or side tunnel I preferred.

    It's not the years in your life that matter, but the life in your years.

    The white material was something Warbac had put onto a suit and I was testing it, although it did not work very well it tended to tear a bit to easily.

    I do have a standard neoprene wambac suit (always use them for caving in the wet) and that is great. http://warmbac.com/listing_wetsuits.php
