Looking for Cave Country Cave Diving Buddy 3/17 through 3/23 2022

[tmassey]

Hello!

I'm heading to Cave Country next week and I'm looking for dive buddies. I'm planning on diving from Thursday, March 17 through Wednesday, March 23, 2022.

You can see my profile for more details, but I'm a baby TDI Full Cave diver. I've got about 35 or so post-Full-class dives. I dive backmount exclusively. I'm good up to a single stage and deco, though I'm also just as good spending an hour 300 feet from the entrance just enjoying the dive, and I'm even up for a dive or two with an Intro-level buddy.

I'll likely be centered around the Ft. White area, but I'm willing to meet up anywhere nearby: From Madison Blue to Manatee, Peacock to Little River, and even Ginnie a couple of times (though not *that* many times at $24 a day... ).

My focus for diving is to try to slow down. I'm much less worried about where we go and how far we go, and much more interested in enjoying the dive, while working on improving my skills and technique. It's not easy for me to do that -- I'm pretty tightly wound... but that's my goal.

If you're interested, please feel free to reply or DM me. Thanks!

Right now I'd expect most sites to be flooded since we have had a lot of rain the last few days, flood warnings are out for hamilton, suwannee, gilchrist and columbia counties among others also santa fe river.

The dry season here is most dry Dec thru end of Feb, Oct - Nov are often dry - but sometimes not, March is usually dry but weatherwise this year is different.
