How many cave divers are here?

Bah, I'm saving the best for last James/Brian Once I hit the rest of the caves in FL, I promise I'll go dive at Ginnie

Unfortunately, I have about 2000 or so new caves to dive before then. What ever will I do?

Kentucky is loaded with cave(underwater too), IJS

OK,... I concede that point, but there's just something about diving 50 degree water compared to 68- 72 degrees....

Just for the sake of curiosity how many certified cave divers are here?

What year certified as a cave diver, how long certified as an O/W diver before you completed cave training, by what agency, how many cave dives logged, how many different caves have you been in, and what configuration you primarily dive caves in?

Are you stage cave certified, DPV cave certified, sidemount certified?

Hey, Jimster, I spend too much time on the internets, so I don't spend too much time here on Scubaboard. Maybe I'm just more obsessed than usual since my recent trip to Coz.

Cave certified: 1993
O/W (NAUI) one month before I started cave training, 6 more months to finish full cave (NSS-CDS)
178 cave dives (as they count toward Abe, etc) and **17** ocean dives
37 different caves
Pretty much only dive sidemount

I am DPV cave certified (NSS-CDS) by the most awesomest instructor around.
I am not sidemount certified, but I did get bootstrapped by some of the biggest names around in sidemount diving. Always learning new stuff.

I am still being prudent , always prudent.
