    Virgin cave? That's the whole reason I started diving in the first place.

    Open water blah, blah, fish blah reef blah, quarry blah.

    Ok, now lets get on with the cavin'.

    Me too-then again I think we were both cavers before hand (so we were already deep in the rabbit hole

    I found the entire process of finding/getting into/mapping virgin cave -exhilarating;a good thing , I imagine from the outside it might be hard to see how it could be fun.Many a day in minus 30-soaked and covered in mud-digging away / dive after dive taking the survey/pouring over notes and drawings while making maps-LOVE it-and miss it dearly!!


    I must say I am happy to see what "appears" to be an increase in interests/participation in surveying new stuff.The knowledge gained for many facets is invaluable and without it-people would not have all these lovely little maps they like to use for navigation.

    Is it better to dive a virgin cave or Her Momma that knows what she's doing?

    Does a flooded mine shaft that ended after about 50' count? Numerous guys were obviously there before, but I don't think the "cave" enjoyed it.

    Or that he's not as good as his father.

    Land of Enchantment -- not so great for cave diving, but mighty scenic!
