    I have never seen anybody try to do a Duncan yo-yo "Rock the Baby" with a reel until now. Flow looks up.

    Another statistic waiting to be written down.

    The names of the divers, and the date of the dive, are at the end of the video. It should be pretty easy to check. If they did a sneak dive would it be possible for the NSS-CDS to pursue a criminal trespass charge?

    The diver in doubles has his bright yellow long hose wrapped once around his high pressure hose. There are several times in the video where it is obvious that the hose comes off the left post and runs down on the outside of the HP hose before it is stuffed between the wing and the tanks before coming up on the inside of the HP hose and then to the divers mouth.

    The diver in the single tank is clearly diving a single outlet with a yoke regulator.

    Neither diver appears to be using a traditional primary light with a separate canister. They each look like they are using "Intova" or similar lights in their hands or clipped off to their harness.

    Watching this video made me very nervous.

    At 50 dives, I thought I had this diving thing figured out. At 100 dives, I realized how wrong I was at 50.

    Take a look at their Ruth video too. They should definitely not be in that cave. Holy Cow! It's even scarier than their Cow video

    This may have been trained cavern divers, practicing for their next class. OW divers probably wouldn't use a reel, and wouldn't know to do tie-offs. The guy in a single tank, was re-tying some of her tie-offs. I do agree they had no business in Ruth.

    I found another one they did in Cow, apparently with no primary line. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Wf2Tr1v_gY

    That would be fine if they were in the cavern zone. Single tank with single regulator WELL into the cave zone on all their videos.

    I have seen single tank divers at the Hill 400 jump n Devil's Eye. Not a good idea, but within limits of Intro, which they might also be.

    Don't you need an H/Y valve to dive a single tank to intro limits?
