Heard in a cavern today

[orm]

...from a Cavern guide to his disciples.

We're going to be following a line, but there's gonna be times when we're not, so just follow me.

OK, take a look at your air now, but I want this to be the last time. You need to look at the amazing decorations that we have here in the cave, and not spend time worrying about your air. We do this dive every day and know it very well.

f**k me. Someone need to shoot that guide.

Sounds like something you might hear down in one of the cenotes.......LOL

Shoot the guide,and there is another one just like that behind him. Need to educate the people searching for a guided trip,because once the money dries up this foolishness stops.

As I say frequently, folks really should research their guiding operation. I have seen many of the "voluntary" rules for guiding broken -- ratios too high, no lights, guide not in cave gear and who knows if cave trained. There is money in guiding, but there won't be if people start dying on these tours.

man. this cave diving stuff is way easier than we've been making it out to be

I wish there was a :dumbfounded: emoticon! I am not even a cave diver, but I know that: (1) that was very bad advice; and (2) probably none of the divers being guided recognized nearly how bad the advice was!

Wasn't there a time when cave diving was done with bleach bottles and gas cans instead of BCs or wings?

Seriously though, telling folks not to check their air is nightmarish.

So, what's worse. The guide that said it, or the diver that followed that instruction?

Yeah, thats when everyone was dying, then the survivors decided it might be a good idea to set some rules to follow.
