I met Andy when I was in Australia in 2010, he was a nice guy, and will be missed.
Sorry to hear about this. Condolences to his family and friends. I was just watching Nullarbor Dreaming the other day.

As Mike said, my condolences go out to his loved ones.
It's not the years in your life that matter, but the life in your years.
Very sorry to hear about Andy's passing. He was an extremely talented explorer. Condolences to those he left behind.

Oh, gosh. That's a darned shame.
Land of Enchantment -- not so great for cave diving, but mighty scenic!
Always so sad when a trailblazer leaves us.
RIP

Some of us got to meet and speak with Andy when he came here last year for the special screening of Sanctum in Gainesville and what a wonderfully nice, talented guy he was.
In addition to Andy, also lost in the chopper crash was US underwater director of photography/cameraman Mike deGruy.
Sad, very sad. Condolences to their families.
