No it's $45 Eric!

I am getting old and suffering from crs.
NO, its not even appropriate for a cave instructor to do so unless the open water diver is cavern certified and taking a cave class.
The ultimate trust me dive? Seems to fit here
* note there are no watermarks or identifying features which would warrant a copyright infringement.
So a professional isn't supposed to have any ethics? I agree there are lots of people who don't but once you realize this professional doesn't have any ethics you sure don't have to support them.
Have you seen video of the diver in question? Between the attitude and skills of this diver the instructor who issued the full cave card should be ashamed. The agency that the instructor certified them through should really take action.
I'm not a copyright attorney but since it is a public image on facebook, the credit to the owner wasn't removed, and it is used for educational purposes it falls under "fair use doctrine" and is not in violation of copyright.
If you are an attorney more familiar with fair use of copyright images on social media, please feel free to correct.
Comments were used for educational purposes on why it is clear that the individual whos photo was taken in the cave was not adequately equipped and several safety concerns associated with the equipment configurations. I found them to all be relevant to the subject at hand.
That said, I don't actually have any issue with the person clearly posing with the tree, the light in question may be a small video light that doesn't need to be fully stowed, and I don't have issues with front mounted stages, but those are just hanging straight down so it doesn't work for me
Draker, generally unbalanced... hell man, that describes most of us.

I got tired of that photographer and stopped following her on FB...I kind of like not living in cave country any longer
