Ok, now correct the misconceptions without all the "crap you were fed from the time you were certified". A valid question was asked with the only response being a personal attack on the poster. Please, for my benefit as well, tell us why helium at shallow depths is beneficial. Johnny

I couldn't agree with you more. Maps are a great source for preliminary information and as a means of verification of a route taken, but there's no substitute for finding it yourself. When I began cave diving, part of the challenge was finding a point within a cave system from the rather...

All: Thank you for your thoughtful responses to my original posting. This was my first thread starter and I wasn't sure of the reaction I would receive given the behavior on other internet forums. While we don't all agree, there have been good points made by all and a great discussion of...

The July Springs "exit" is for water only- it is an extremely small crack with no way for a diver to squeeze through. Johnny

What is the status of Emerald access? Have the two boards been nailed in place? Has the dive form been approved? Not that it matters a great deal at this point since vis isn't great, but it would be nice not to let another period of decent visibility slip by with detail work remaining...

Call Cave Excursions East (386-454-7511) and ask for information on Jeff Hancock's map. The map isn't cheap, but it is detailed and does have line placement. Johnny

The last thing in the world I want to do is be politically correct- trust me. It wasn't my intent to create another pc-ism, but merely to point out the fallacy that all trust-me dives are inherently dangerous. Johnny

That's ok, I've had some time off and needed to exercise my fingers..... Johnny

Please note the second half of the title- "A Personal Opinion". I don't think there is a "Johnny Richards' definition" and my expression of my personal opinion should certainly not confuse the issue. Personal opinions, like many other things, are something that most of us have. This is just...

Only if you trust me :14: . Johnny

In the past year or so, there have been a great many comments condemning all “trust-me” dives as per se faulty. I believe this is the result of either a misconception or a lack of understanding of the trust-me dive concept. A trust-me dive, in its strictest sense, occurs anytime a more...

Your son meets NSS-CDS minimum age requirements for the Cavern course. You should speak to your instructor about his qualifications for taking the course. Johnny

Dan is a great instructor and an all-around nice guy. The cave community could use more like him. Johnny

Have you dove Devil's lately? Johnny

Florida law recognizes this activity as a felony offense- and one we should help enforce if we witness it. I will not hesitate to report intentional damage if I see it. How about at least reporting it to the Sheriff's Office- the fact that line arrows were present indicates that these were...

For cave diving- the only diving I do- doubles and a stage AL80 with no solo for deep dives (dives deeper than 180'). Johnny

For cave diving- which is all I do- I always dive thirds and no more from my stage and always pressurize the IP hose with the valve off when not in use. Jeez, the exchange between the two sounds more suited to The Deco Stop.:swordfight: Johnny

My deep dives are typically in the 250- 300' range with divers I know well in either Eagle's Nest or Diepolder II and III. Backgas is dependent on depth in ranges of 14/40 to 12/50 with decompression gases of EAN32, EAN50 and oxygen. I use a Dive Rite He computer for decompression status and...
