Class Report: GUE Cave 1 with David Rhea

A few weeks ago, Rob and I went to Florida to take Cave 1 with David Rhea. The class report is finally finished. I hope you find it worth the wait:

Cold Water Kitty: The Great Kitty Cave Adventure

It took Kevin an hour to read. You've been warned

sounds like you had a blast! I think we met you guys at extreme exposure.
the flow's not as bad as people make it out to be, huh?

In your blog, post class day 1, you wrote "I thought it strange that the line is so far out and the sign so far in." The reason for this I believe is that open water divers are not allowed in P1 thus the line comes pretty much to the entrance yet the sign is to remind cavern divers that cave is beyond this point. From reading your blog it sounds like you had alot of fun, congrats on your pass!

Congratulations and we can't wait to dive with you guys!

Awesome report....Why does Rob think it's a waste to write it up?

I dove Ginnie last week (first time in high-flow cave) and I still have problems typing and my fingerprints on right hand can't be recognized by reader on office door

Great report!

lol
try getting a really good hand hold before you pull. don't let your fingers slide on the rock.
try eating buffalo wings with those fingers

Good advice for next year - I hope I'll come to HS again.

Thanks for posting the report - I enjoyed reading it. Then I had to go find and read your fundies, T1, and T2 class reports too. Reading stuff like this really makes me want to take fundies in a year or so when I've got more experience.

Take it sooner rather than later. It will save you from learning bad habits and help you be a better diver.
