    What about it Forrest? Great topic and it we need an education as to what to look for when cave diving. It was never discussed in my Full Cave Training.
    Which topic? Alacuha Sink, or Cave Collapse?

    And as I recall, one agency didn't require safety reels/spools for each diver (just one per team) prior to this accident and so the victim, a poor college student, did not have a safety reel.
