From: Leslie Herman [mailto:eanxmiss@ea*.ne*] Boo hoo. God- if you can't take the drive, then get out of caving. Caruso, Christina R (Christina) wrote: HELL NO, I WILL NOT QUIT CAVE DIVING! I know guys who drive 18 hours by themselves. Get books on tape, maybe it will improve your perspective on things. Every drive I have done to High Springs has been alone! Grow up. "I can only dive once a month (other obligations and money reasons)" Honey you get to dive allot more than me. No excuse for doing it wrong. DID DIR EXIST WHEN YOU WERE TAUGHT HOW TO DIVE? DID THE BEST OF THE BEST LEARN FROM GUE 20 YEARS AGO!! I WON'T KEEP APOLOGIZING FOR DOING IT WRONG IN THE PAST!! I AM TRYING TO DO IT RIGHT NOW ADAYS BUT DIVING AFTER A LONG DRIVE WHEN YOU ARE EXHAUSTED IS A DUMB THING TO DO AND I HAVE SEEN GUYS DRIVE 18HRS STRAIGHT THEN JUMP RIGHT IN THE WATER. SLEEP DEPRIVATION DOES NOT MAKE FOR BETTER DIVERS!!!!!!!! > 7th-8th is important to me. Maybe later on in my diving "career" I'll be > "worthy" [TO JOIN THE WKPP], but don't scare me! Any other suggestions? A)Quit whining. B) Real simply and nicely put out a post where and when you will be diving. Ask for a buddy to join you. Be honest about your skill and comfort levels. Offer to buy lunch and tell them you want to learn how to DIR. Hang out at Ginnie and Peacock and see who's rig is DIR and ask if you can play with them. Stay away from hose stuffers and butt mounters and IANTD stickers on bumpers. You'll get the drift. Leslie THIS I AGREE WITH! BUT CAN YOU GUARANTEE THAT EVERY SINGLE DIVER RIGGED DIR IS SAFE FOR ME TO DIVE WITH?!? I WON'T GO "WHORING" FOR A DIVE BUDDY, AND THEY SHOULDN'T TRUST A STRANGER COMING UP TO THEM BEGGING FOR A DIVE BUDDY! I WOULDN'T. OKAY IS THIS A GOOD POSTING?!? I WANT A CAVE DIVING BUDDY WHO IS SAFE AUGUST 7TH, 1999 CENTRAL/NORTH FLORIDA AREA I WILL BUY LUNCH AND DINNER I HAVE LESS THAN 50 CAVE DIVES IN LESS THAN 10 DIFFERENT SYSTEMS I WANT TO LEARN ABOUT DIR ALL RESPONSES TO THIS EMAIL SHOULD BE PERSONAL AND NOT CC'ED TO CAVERS@CAVERS.COM!!!
