. Oh no, that's terrible. I'm glad I finally went. It was quite the experience sitting with him, saying hello, watching his great video from 20 years ago on the 13" TV in garage. I had hoped to go back and see if he wanted to make an HD Update video.
He will be missed. Now the future of that resource is in jeopardy.
I have loved diving there. My team was going to do our annual deep dive there.
And, RichieD, it wouldn't be the same if it wasn't on VHS.
my thoughts are with the family at this time.

The good news is that the widow feels it would be Curt's wish for Paradise Spring to stay open. When you do, remember that you're supporting his widow as well. They need our support now more than ever.

We visited Paradise in February. His wife and son are keeping things going. Nice people, beautiful scenery, awesome cavern dive. I agree that if you can help support them with a visit, you wont regret it and they will appreciate it.
