Darwin Candidates at Jackson Blue

[Kevin Carlisle]

I thought I would share this experience. Sunday I was at Jackson Blue doing a few dives wth some friends when I saw something that would make you scratch your head or get pretty ticked off. As we were exiting the cavern after our second dive I noticed 2 divers in the cavern to the far left side as you enter in a cloud of muck. These guys were in OW gear and were dragging a second cylinder behind them, well one guy was holding his between his legs..Between the 2 of them neither had fins.. Thats right, no fins. They walked into the system and was digging, apparently for treasure..Just thought I would share this..Its this type of behavior that can ruin things for others, or worse yet cause a bad situation in that environment..

If you happen to see 'em again, this one warrants a call to the Sheriff...

Section 810.13 Cave vandalism and related offenses
... It is unlawful for any person, without the prior written permission of the owner, to:

(a) Break, break off, crack, carve upon, write upon, burn, mark upon, remove, or in any manner destroy, disturb, deface, mar, or harm the surfaces of any cave or any natural material which may be found therein, whether attached or broken, including speleothems, speleogens, or sedimentary deposits. ...

you know a better way to look for treasure?

That is crazy.

Rick it did not cross my mind until a few hours later..I wish it had but I was actually thinking how foolish they were and at least Edd would not have to go very far to pull their bodies out when they get lost.

Some friends of mine were in a cavern class at JB on Sunday...I'll have to ask them if they saw anything/if anything got said to those jerks. How odd...

Thats who I went to meet. Brock and I were diving just hanging around while his daughter and another were in the class. I did my cave training with Kenny P. who was the cavern instructor. They saw it.

Man, that's just weird. I wonder what they were trying to accomplish?

It was crazy when you told me about it on the phone, its still crazy now.

 

[Kevin Carlisle]

LOL, I know Mat.. I still cant really believe what I saw..

Do you know if these guys checked in at the JCSO or rented a boat from Edd? If so, there will be a record. If they took there own boat, that is a different story.
