Memorial missing

[FW]

This memorial was put at their final resting place....It is their grave marker.

Just for the record, the Rouse's didn't die in Devil's Eye. They died in a wreck diving accident.

I still miss Leroy of the deep that was back in the Heinkel area

True, but as I understand it, their "cremains" were released and/or left in the system and thus it is their final resting place and should be respected and treated as such.
Whenever I dive on a wreck where remains are I am very aware of this and try to be respectful of it as I would want someone to be with me. Common courtesy, sense and decency.
Could someone please confirm if the monument has been moved? I plan on swimming back there one day to visit and I hope it is either still there or will be back soon.

Jordan,

I know we told you we could not find the plaque Saturday and it did not appear to be there. We made a confirmation dive with Evie, Bob, and Jeff covering most of the tunnels after the Hienkel. If the plaque is still there and has been moved they could not locate it. If it has indeed been removed from the cave all I can say is the divers who did it should realize they acted in poor judgment and should return it. It is the Rouse's grave marker and certainly in bad taste to disturb it. Hopefully it will re-appear. Chris & Chrisy are divers from my home area and several of us who knew them always visit the plaque for personal reasons every time we dive Ginnie.

I personally saw it there 3 weeks ago. Same spot as always.

I don't see how you can see anything after following you in a cave a couple of times...fwiw i just went back yesterday and took a look as well, it was not there...maybe it has been moved and not removed? I hate to think that there are grave robbers amongst those experienced enough to get to the henkle. bill

HA HA and HA Mr. Cave Diving Big Mouth. YOU need to check out Theo's vid of our 2nd dive @ JB and see the Video Professor's Head Cracking Incident...caught live on tape! Daytime Emmy Award material for sure.

WE ought to go around and video an entire dive when we go with people and then edit out everything except the screw-up's. "Filthy Jack's Funniest Home Cave Vids." YOU would be a regular...hahaha. See you @ the Goat Rope on the the 17th. I think we need live goats from Waynes' there too. Get's me excited just thinking about that.

PS, We'll be @ our normal Outlaw Spot for 2 days prior to that if you want to swim with the Big Boys...literally.....Jackie and I are also taking the DB Couse from Mr. Larry on Monday. Come and haul me out.

IDIOT Boy
