Not previously, but Jim is starting "the next big thing" in diving... "Ninja SCUBA".

Yeah, but man... two sets of EVERYTHING (since we are a two diver husband/wife team) including rig, regs, primary lights, etc... I wonder if I can claim him off as a dependent on my taxes...

Yes. I've been there on both a Tuesday & a Wednesday, and each time the tables were just about full, and there were 15-20 divers in the water.

I think it would be a better plan to have Edd helping me get our new sidemount rigs worked out than having him searching Vortex for more dead divers... not going to speak for him, but I don't think it is much of a reach to think he probably would rather be working with his customers earning a...

Taking nothing away from Ag, keep in mind how that was shot... to see her squeezing through that opening and show her face, that means the camera person had previously squeezed through that exact same restriction and then they had somehow gotten the camera through it as well, plus the lights...

Can you explain this a bit further? I assume it is perfectly OK to FIND a dead body in a cave (well, not OK in the BIG sense, it is freaky and horrible) as long as you don't remove it but rather just report its location?

When I was there, I had a nice conversation with somebody (Eduardo?) about all the stuff they have had to do to keep Vortex open and flowing, about the piping system, how they pump the sand out of there, etc. It very much isn't "sit back and let the water flow" the cave has had some SERIOUS work...

Have fun diving your new gear :)

If that statement didn't send a chill down your spine, I have no idea what would. Can you imagine what that would be like? Yeah, I can too.

Totally and entirely off topic, but I gotta ask it... Am I the only male who watched that young lady pulling herself though that insane passage in the video posted earlier and though "Man, that's just hot." I mean... it's hard to describe... you either know what I am talking about or you...

Mine too... I gotta admit when she started crawling through that crack a little over two minutes in when she was in that flow, my pucker factor was off the charts. Y'all go ahead and do that one, I think I will stick to something that looks less like a cork in a bottle.

I am not a lawyer, nor do I play one on the internet, but I do know the following for sure... Every time ANY diver goes into the water, he or she is the person responsible for his or her actions. I am not just talking about going into a cave, I am talking about jumping off of a dive boat in...

It's also a good time to start working together on your underwater communications skills. If you don't know why she is touching you, then (on shore, before the dive) work on hand signals with her so you will know if she is just being friendly, is apprehensive, or if she sees Jaws coming for...

I was thinking the same thing... great quote

Good to know. Thanks.

I use my sawed off steak knife, cuts better than anything else I have found including EMT shears.

Feel free to start a thread on that on basic scuba and I will fill you in on what I do, rather than hijacking this thread :) :) :) (said in a good natured way, not snarky)

Fair enough, thanks for the info. All I know about it is the agency I was trained for, using the materials presented in the class. I can't speak (obviously) about what other classes train having not taken them. They were advising me to go outside the limits of MY training. Whether my...

We were trained to the NSS standards using the NSS Cavern Diving Manual, which states that the limit is 130 linear feet and 70 feet in depth. I don't know what other training agencies say, but that's what we were trained to.
