Excellent report Mike... very inspiring. I keep on fluctuating between wanting to dive caves and not.

One Day, One Day!

Cheers

Do you mind if we turn your report into an article and publish it in the library?

Awesome report Mike!

I think Florida caves are a must to see if one likes cave diving. That means I must try to get there soon!

Martin has been teaching a few courses here in Finland also. Unfortunately I have not been able to attend those.

Did you use the FFM on the course or normal small mask?

Thanks.

I used my FFM. When we did gas sharing drills I just bailed off the mask (instead of using the BOV as I would in reality)

Glad to see appropriate use of the emergency camera

You do wonder why they'd wanna pull the jaw out though!?

Nice write up. Little River and Ginnie are nice dives. Of course, my travel there was just for intro to cave on OC but the descriptions brought back the memories.

Pull and glide is fun, no? Has the skin on your fingertips grown back yet?

At last you become sensable

Now you're drysuit trained why don't you join Martin and me in Italy in Feb for a nice 6 celcius deg cave

hi drmike
excellent report . I am glad to hear you love cave diving .
I also see you meet some good ol boys ,made you think of the movie "dileverance" in that movie they are kentucky boys differant animal from fla boys.
I will asume the reason they pulled the jaw out of the deer was for ageing ,here in canada when you hunt the gov runs programs they give you a gift if you bring certain body parts for the research they are doing.

when you were doing drills for the course ,did you do lost mask drill?
drysuit diving is quite challenging at first ,I just use the drysuit for bounancy, limits the things I have to controll .
did martin surprise you with a total silt out ?
