I didn't know that. I agree with him that people need to dive within their limitations. I just wanted to verify that inexperience was the case here. Thats all.

Were they actually cave certified or not?

Yes, I talked to one of the recovery divers a while ago. The only reason I posted is because I hope it will serve to scare off people who keep discussing Buford, Eagle's Nest, and other sites where they so obviously don't belong. These two were not full cave and should not have been diving in this system.

Prayers go out to them, their families, and friends...:depressed:

The fact that they were found near the entrance leads to some distressing thoughts.

That being the case I agree with you totally. I feel for their families but they had no business being in a cave system like that if they were not qualified.

Obviously we need to be patient as information will trickle out and it'll be a while before we know what's valid & what isn't.

What was their cert level? Apprentice Cave? Cavern? OW? Dont know?
These were real life people and they wont be coming back, that is really sad. They died doing what they loved. Lets show a little compassion for them and their families.

Please remember this is not the passings forum (http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/passings/). As soon as the names of the divers are made public, a memorial thread will be started.

They were friends of mine. I won't release their names yet either, as they're still trying to contact everyone and give time for things to settle down. I will however answer any questions I can that you might have. I am very objective when it comes to this as diver safety is something I am passionate about.
Please pray for their families. This is a very sad day for all of us who knew and loved them.
