Good Books for Cave Divers?

[xiSkiGuy]

I've read The Last Dive and Submerged. I was contemplating picking up some of

Sheck's books or something else like The Taming of the Slough.
​

Any recommendations? What's good?

Either would be fine. I just wanted to hear what people enjoyed reading or found beneficial that related to cave diving.

Rick is that the book that has all the descriptions of the cenotes? I am familiar with one of them, but not sure if that is the exact one.

I really enjoyed Caverns Measureless to Man (Exley), The Cave Divers (Burgess), and Beyond the Deep by William Stone and Barbara am Ende.

Old issues of UWS,NACD journal and Guidelines are all great. I suspect you'll see everyone convert them to pdf for on line reading.
