    Default To be full cave or not to be, that is the question

    In another thread, the query came up regarding the existence of "full cave" as a certification. It was something of an off-topic discussion in that thread, so I'm starting this new one.

    Down in FL this past weekend, Forrest noted that my cave card said "Full Cave" and recalled that being discussed. Ergo, I present my card:

    Here is the reverse: Check that sweet mugshot! And who the hell did my hair? Oh wait, I remember. Shout out to Jeff Hancock, who might also remember those haircuts...

    What exactly are you full of?

    I suspect it's that barbeque in Florida. Not to mention the breakfasts. I'm usually a VERY full cave diver when I'm diving in FL. The food's the best bit. Staying with Corey doesn't help either, he cooks too well.

    The burping in the reg can be a bit irritating though.

    Oh, yeah, right. On Thanksgiving, for lunch, we ate at the Dollar store in Mayo. Urk. The Luraville store had been open earlier, but it closed before we got there.

    It would be intereting to do a poll to see the influx of cave divers into Florida between Oct. 31st and Jan 1st. Everyone and their dive buddy is there!

    Back to the orginal point- Full Cave verses what?

    It's sad when you travel and places will not accept your NSS-CDS card because it does not have your picture on it. Whats this world coming to?

    I don't know about everyone else; but I just carry a business card holder and drop it on the table and ask them to pick the relavent card.

    We cooked instant soup with a propane burner on the tables at Orange Grove. We're always amazed at how many restaurants in Mayo are closed when we're up there for a dive trip...

    Just curious, but who does this? Neither my NACD nor TDI Cave Cards have my mug plastered to them. Didn't know that would ever be a problem anywhere... Course, most the places I preffer to dive aren't exactly the kinda places that ask for a card, mostly because there isnt' a person there to ask.
