I am hearing there has been an accident at Blue Hole. I don't know for sure what has happened so I won 't poste a name but apparently there has been a fatality. Anyone else hearing anything?

There's more than one Blue Hole... Which one are you referring to?

My apologies, I accessed your post under "New Posts", without looking at the region.
I hope that the initial rumours are inaccurate and that it turns out the diver in question is ok.

I am logging in briefly just to get the basic facts straight and stop the avalanche of rumors I have encountered elsewhere.
Yes there was a single fatality, and it was a member of the cave diving team. The cave has been sealed back up again and will almost certainly never be opened. There is no reason to go in there.It is a deep and dangerous path to nowhere.

Out of curiosity and having no knowledge of this site @boulderjohn, what makes this cave more dangerous than any other cave?

Oh, crap.
They were trying to open a passage, so there were large rocks being moved. Not a common sort of thing though not unprecedented. No idea what happened or if that work was related to the accident.

@boulderjohn , good to hear that you're alive. We were worried for a little while.

When you say "the cave diving team", the last team I was aware of was the ADM team lead by Curt Bowen. Same team?

And I was hoping it wasn't the ADM team, because I probably know whomever it was. Interesting this has not hit any other news outlet. Sad, my condolences to whomever it was.
