    I just recently watched a video of Dan's Cave, that place looks amazing! Very nice reads too.

    I did a guided trip in Abaco with Brian a couple years back. I got a chance to dive Dan's Cave, Ralph's cave and a couple others.

    Been to Mexico (Akumal/Tulum) cave diving at least a half dozen different times.

    To this day, Dan's & Ralph's are hands down the most beautiful caves I've ever been in.

    It's bad luck to be superstitious.

    Default Log and Photos....

    Brian,

    Thanks for the log, it is super cool to read about other people's exploration. But even wilder was the photos in the gallery. That place looks amazing!

    Better than Vortex?

    (I had to throw that one at you. When new open water divers at the shop find out I'm a cave diver, they often guess I must go to Vortex a lot.)

    Default Wes

    Wes showed up and bought out some photos he took with you Brian and without a doubt they were stunning. Better than any I have ever seen. Wes sort of put it into perceptive in his own unique way though after showing off his skill in a fantastic place. " My photos do not do the place justice..it looked much better in person" "Its the nicest place I have ever been." He told us that he plans to put out a Blue Ray disk of the HD video... I do not have a blue ray player yet but when it comes out I will get one.

    He told us about some of the science there and it was very interesting. Lots of opportunity to study some interesting creatures especially the ones in the hydrogen Sulfide layers.

    Even better than Vortex...I think. Never been there

    I did my cave class with Brian this year and I'm still awestruck and blabbing about it to basically everyone. Brian was a Superb instructor, is one hell of a great guy in all regards, and the cave... Holy crap! Just the most amazing experience I have ever had in my already full and well traveled life. Go see Brian, dive Dan's and Ralph's, and have the experience of a lifetime!

    Brian, I just can't thank you enough for the whole experience. Things in TCI have been a bit mucked up lately due to the Brits coming in and running this Commission of Inquiry into our now busted corrupt government. Soon we'll have the dive shop operational and then I'll be back with few in tow for another extended look at Dan's and Ralph's!
