     One or both of the 2 cave divers at Madison Blue Spring made some =
mistakes, and they paid the ultimate price for it.  It has happened =
before and it will happen again.

     Why do members of this forum always take a cave diver's death and =
turn it into a flaming, profanity-laced, name-calling episode?  This is =
not what we need to be doing.  What we need to be doing is to critique =
each accident in a civil and dignified manner and make it a learning =
experience for all of us.

     I have been cave diving for over 12 years and have logged over cave =
dives, but I still consider each cave dive(no matter how simple it is) a =
learning experience.

     The next time I pass through the "Half Hitch" restriction on my way =
to "The Court Yard", I will think about those 2 divers and give =
everything around me a second look.
