    Dang. That sucks. My condolences to the team and families.

    Land of Enchantment -- not so great for cave diving, but mighty scenic!

    Wow - 426 feet. Something must have gone awfully wrong for a team of five to end so badly.

    Prayers for the family, survivors, and recoverors.

    130 meters at 4 degrees C! That's a real tough environment, and a very sad end to a dive. Condolences to all.

    430 feet and 40 deg F water temps
    That is an extreme dive and I can only ponder the stress on various gear
    It will be interesting to see if any information comes out with there being 3 survivors
    Sure hate to hear two passed, that will be a very dangerous recovery
    Best wishes to all involved

    That's a fought situation. My prayers go out to the friends, family and recovery personal.
