cave

Hey all, I’ve read through decades worth of threads here asking “what agency is best”, “what instructors are best”, and I understand the answers aren’t that clear cut. But I’m going to ask some questions again for a more general introduction to cave diving in Florida, and with a selfish desire...

Cave diving in Merida, Yucatan. Passing through a restriction.

Tried to go to Woody's room the other day and ended up going to NOT Woody's Room

I've been holding off on this post for a couple of months now, but I've been working on mapping caves using visual-inertial SLAM. There's still a ton of work to do, but I'm getting there with the process and it's only getting better over time. I could practically write a thesis on it all, but to...

I'm looking to buy a drysuit for cave and sump diving in cold water (~6-8°C) and would love some of your opinions on different drysuit brands. I'd like a drysuit that's not only glued but also sewed together. Also I'd love the zipper to be sewed in too. The price isn't as important as long as...

Apologies if this has been discussed before. If so, please feel free to point me to the previous posting. As a little background, I'm currently diving a manifolded BM configuration in a DIR setup. I am very comfortable in BM and at this time will most likely continue down this route until SM...

I reside and train near Fayetteville, NC, and I want a buddy to do trips to Florida caves. I am currently doing refresh dives with an instructor. I will be doing shakedown/training dives in preparation for a trip around DEC 21 / JAN 22. I will travel in eastern North Carolina to train with you...

Hi all, I recently completed full cave and I’m looking for buddies anywhere in Florida. My schedule is very flexible. I’ll dive any level, intro through full cave. Anyone interested please hit me up. Eric

I bought this hose from deep6gear in 2018 along with one of their second stage regulators. I used this hose on a couple of trips and decided to go back to a 40" underarm configuration so the 7 footer is for sale. $25 shipped via PayPal to the lower 48.

Hi, I'm a fairly new diver. Within the next few years my hope is to begin cave training, but in the mean time I want to get plenty more open water practice. Hopefully this is the correct forum. I've been postponing purchasing my own BC, regulator, and computer/compass/gauge because I'm...

Hi everyone! After a few years where diving has become a real passion (obsession, addiction!) I am soon to take a month off work to do my first two cave courses in Mexico. I have all my gear except for two crucial items: helmet: I have a BIG head (61cm without hood), does anyone know of any...

It's time to replace my TLS350. The fast facts: - Australia based - The sun is no joke - Significant amount of wreck diving -- Not a lot of opportunity for penetration, but lots of jagged bits - Basic cave certified -- Might get more into it, but not a focus - A lot of shore diving out here...
