Hey Guys seen your names on the schedule at Dive Outpost. Just got back last night.
Was there for 3 days of fun diving. My tab for nitrox cave fills and lodging was 144.00 man you talk about a bargain. When you get there buy some maps of Peacock, Lil river and Cow spring if you do not have them already from Cathy. Makes things less stressfull and great for planning. I was talking with 2 guys that just finished up full cave with Mike Oleary. Spoke real highly of him. They mentioned a tune up dive on skills at cow spring and then did the rest of the qualifying dives at Peacock. They said they did a final long *****-swim drill , lights out / share air in the cisteen tunnel back to the main line and then quite a ways. Hope that gives you some heads up.

Well that's only 2000'... that's nothing :)

How are the conditions out there?

I met some fellas two weekends ago that were taking full cave with Mike O'leary. We ran into them right around the nicholson tunnel jump (Coming from P1). They were coming back from the cisteen tunnel doing an OOA/lights out exit. I was listening to some of his surface debriefings. I also spoke to him for a few after the dive. From what I saw he is definately a great instructor.
