    Default Saved the dive trip

    I just wanted to say that it is nice to know there are some really nice people diving out there. I had planned a dive trip and my buddie couldnt make it at the last minute. I had already driven to Cave country so canceling was not an option. I happened across some cool guys who let me tag along in Peacock on Sat. ( thanks guys!) Also met up with another group who let me dive with them on Sun. ( Thanks to you guys too!) Everyone was really friendly and eager to help out. Just thought thier actions were noteworthy on the forum. I know they aren't the only cool people diving in caves, and I appreciate the cave diving community as a whole. The dive trip was a success.
    Thanks,


    And to the cavern divers I met, keep up the diving. It was great meeting you all as well.

    Cave shops are the only places I've seen that will loan you something you forgot or broke and simply say "Have fun".
    Years ago 4 of us went diving and everyone thought the other guy brought a primary reel. We were loaned one without a deposit or a note from my mom.
    A couple of years before a first stage blew a seat and Rennaker loaned me one having never seen me before. I took it back after we got through with class and a week later he sent me back my reg repaired at no charge. He would not let me even pay shipping. I make it a point to send people to places like that and spend all the money I can at the cave shops. You will never see an OW shop with a heart that big.
    Cave divers for the most part are a big family, of coarse there are a few cousins you never really miss if they aren't there.

    If cave diving were Star Wars, who would be Yoda?

    Bill is a great guy. He loaned me a light head one time. He didn't really know me either.
