This letter is directed solely to the Cave Diver that went in through devil's ear around 11:00 AM on Sunday Nov 2. You were in a red DUI suit and had 2 al80 stages and 1 al40 o2 deco bottle. All with E.E. rental stickers and vis.
1. I want to thank you for pushing our team out of your way when you barreled down the entrance to the ear. We were obviously in your way, since we were putting in a guideline, and that seemed to annoy you. Nothing like knocking a new cavern diver's mask around to show the respect cave divers have for each other.
2. I also want to congratulate you on your flawless form and organisational skills when you were pulling and gliding on the floor of the gallery, while simultaneously rearranging the rocks to make them easier to reach. maybe looking up would have been a good idea.
3. Once at the lips it was so nice of you to repeatedly RAM YOUR STAGES into the rocks as you tried to pass through. Personally, I won't be satisfied until it's at least 2 or 3 feet higher through that restriction, and I appreciate the hard work you put forth.
4. All that work must have been tough, as you clipped off your first stage between the lips and the keyhole. It's not your SAC, it must have been the depth.
Once you went through the keyhole, I turned my head and headed back as I couldn't bare to see that restriction widened any more!
I'm not sure if you had a problem, or if you hit your thirds, but after 25 minutes or so you came back through the gallery as we were exiting the system and reeling up.
5. I understand that you enjoy diving in a team environment, but I really would have appreciated it if you would have picked a team before entering the water and not jumping in between our #2 and #3 divers when they were reeling up and exiting the system.
6. I don't really know why you felt that you needed to do your DECO between the log and the entrance, therefore blocking exit or entrance to the system.
7. You might want to work on your situational awareness, as a 35W HID flailing back and forth 6 feet away from you, might mean PAY ATTENTION, or maybe GTF out of the way.
I truly hope you had a great dive, and that you made the upstream connection between Ginnie and Wakulla. But next time you pull a stunt like that on my team, I can assure you that you will be surgically removing twin 130's from your @ss!
You are an embarrasment to the organisation that YOU THINK you represent! Those guys work hard to hone their skills, and all you do is make the whole of them look very bad!
