Should jumps be marked?

[Caver95]

Side question, today, do the various training organizations work together on some minimal standard of teaching? Does the training reflect what happens in a cave, or vice versa.

shouldn't you be looking for your mask? I think i will put it in twin cave.

For those of you that do unmarked jumps, I have a line arrow permanently tied to the line of a gap reel. Instead of putting a separate arrow on the line, then tying into it, I have elimated one step, and it works great. I just attach the arrow to the main line, and I am off to the races.

What about a cookie, so one does not confuse the poor other divers. if you use a cookie you will have to remember which way you cam from.

I do this too! I threaded the line through a hole in the very middle of the arrow and tied a barrel knot. if you attach it anywhere else on the arrow you might yank it loose from the guideline. if you double lock it anything's solid. I even do this on my safety reel; deployment for the "lost buddy" drill is ninja quick.

on topic, I don't think marked jumps robbed me of any enjoyment.

Are you talking about the fated mask from Thedecostop.com? If so, please be sure to post a follow-up on that thread once you give it a new resting home so we can follow its path.

...If you cant find the passage keep swimming on the mail line learning the cave and developing cave awareness. There are lots of jumps in peacock that arent marked and it was fun finding them, and I am sure I havent found near all of them. But then again I dont mind diving the same place over and over again because I always see something new.
