Oh come off it Mike get of the high horse, you know I love your antics M8 but you did your ccr cave course and within months were pushing the limits of a monster cave doing a 180m epic dive.
Wrong. It was over a year later (almost 2) and dozens of deep cave dives before I was that deep. I built my experience up over many increasingly deeper dives.
The point is (and Ill say it slowly so you can understand) I did all the available training and sought the available knowledge for the diving I was doing. So your accusation is incorrect

Nice slow progression into cave diving? Naaaaa sod it lets crack a 200m deep virgin cave.
Wrong. Just like AM your full of shit- you dont know anything about what cave dives ive done - only the ones you read about - your making the same incorrect assumptions your sidekick does. I bottomed out both sides eagles nest 95m+ at Sra Keow we did progressively deeper and deeper dives prob something like 50m, 60m, 80m, 95m, 105m, 127m, 150m then back to US for some more deep ones then back to Thailand for a dozen more deep dives culimnating in 191m. So it was over a year after my course and loads of progressively deeper dives before I did the 191m one. In other words a) your wrong and b) your wrong.

All credit to you you obviously decided that your present level of knowledge of cave diving was more than adequate probably based more on your vast experience in open water deep diving. So mear weeks after training to do cave diving you thought sod it and did the dive.
yes. and no. Its not rocket science so yes deep wreck diving is aplicable - but as mentioned above your wrong about the build up and the timing.
Funny how a non cave trained non cave diver with no idea about what dives Ive done (other than teh big ones hes read about ) has such the audacity to think hes qualified to judge

Good one, I respect that.
I can die happy

Me? I am well known for saying CCR mix training is bollocks for an OC trained diver, MCCR training id bollocks for an experienced CCR diver, I have dived a hand full of caves with zero training and I dive deep air in the red sea when the idiots wont give me a mix because i am on a Mod 1 cert
I admit that none of it is clever but I felt confident and comfortable doing it
and I admit none of what I do is clever but I feel confident and comfortable (doing deep cave dives) - but apparently thats a privalage only the great mark chase can enjoy
PS are you AM sock puppet - you sound just like her only less manly :P
