Well done. The previous two editions that I own are excellent books and belong in every cave diver's library, even if the caves we mostly dive don't look anything like your muddy, sumpy things with no viz

I had a read of the draft of the manual when I was in the UK caving recently. Its certainly a very good read indeed and more applicable to 'real' caves not Disney land Uber Highways

Have to say, from what Ive seen, the average CDG diver is as hard as f_ck!

Quite a difference when Im in florida. I like seeing the fat guys using a little trolley to push their twins to the steps

hhaha no its a 100% foolproof way to get an ear infection

Interesting though: I learnt that they prescribe eye drops for ear infections.

So now I know what to buy next time.

Once, in my dark and distant past, I did ONE dive in a system called Grobblers'. I was 15 years younger, 10 kgs lighter (it may be the other way around). SRT drop into the system, 2 hours of dry caving through pretty squeezy stuff to do a 10 minute dive in no viz (the other guy in front had some), lines cutting into the walls, etc. followed by two hours of crawling and a jumar out ..... the CDG guys have my respect.

Now that I've hopefully polished some marbles, will you guys come and rig Dragon's Breath next year and be good sherpas?

Re: Shameless Cave diving group manual publicity.

If the excerpt (word file) on underwater digging that Duncan Price allowed me to read is included in this version ;it would be worth the price on that unbelievably comprehensive and humbling data alone!!! Explanations on how to protect inner air spaces while chemically removing debris shows how truly devoted the Brits are!~Invaluable information.
