Looking for Eagles Nest

[Tegg]

I thank you all for your concern, I have decided to put it off for a while, although when I do pursue this dive, I am going to go with my LDS who has much experience with this site.

Thanks again

What LDS is that if I can ask? Just wondering...

Where you planning on pursuing a "cavern dive" or "cave dive" at Eagle's Nest?

This site is a deep and very advanced cave dive. The NACD and NSS-CDS both recommend that you have the following MINIMUM qualifications to cave dive at Eagle's nest.
1. Full Cave Certification.
2. Trimix certification.
3. Appropriate experience with deep cave dives.

If you're pursuing a cavern dive. There are much better locations then Eagle's Nest. It only takes one badly placed fin kick to dump muck down the entrance tube and cause a silt out.

Have you done any other deep caves to prepare for the Nest?

What would you recommend as a training plan for someone, say, experienced Full Cave right out of the req. gas class? What other deep caves would you suggest?

Harvey's for a start...

You're a caver.. what would you do?

 

[scubafool]

what would you do?

Get good and liquored up first?

 

[PerroneFord]

LOL!!

I didn't say simulate diving Eagles Nest on AIR!!

You forgot getting geared up in full kit and hopping into your bathtub after getting liquored up.

Beuford is a nice cave in the nest area, and it also teaches you how to carry your equipment through deep mud, water and maybe a few snakes.

Good dive though

Dunno, probably talk with my gas instructor to get his feelings on my skill and experience, dive with a couple of the guys I know and trust and who are experienced there and see what they have to say, but I don't have much desire to dive Eagle's Nest right now.

You seemed to have the knowledge and experience to suggest a successful training path, so I was just wondering...

Thanks for the advice Curt, but I'm more of a tourist cave diver then hardcore.
