  Tapes:
 WAKULLA - narrated, has the A Tunnel when it was clear, line laying in 
C Tunnel by Jarrod Jablonski, Casey McKinlay and GMI3, with Todd Kincaid
 filming, has basin and entrance shots
 which are classics. Shows the gear and techniques used by WKPP for this
 type of diving 

 SALLY WARD - not narrated, shows the whole team gearing up and Sally 
Ward from the entrance tube into the Cube Room, the big donnwtream 
rooms, and a ride upstream to the end of the line with Bill Gavin and 
George Irvine, filmed by Barry Miller

 EXTREME CAVE DIVING - shows building scooters, working out for diving ,
 the long hose, then the team setting up, the giant scooters and towing 
scooters in Wakulla, then a set up dive in Sally thorugh the Slot, a 100
 foot vertical restiction scootering wide open towing nd carrying stage 
bottles, the second major restriction, and the final restriction "King's
 Retreat", beyond which all of the real cave is (GMI diving, if you want
 to check my "technique"). Then on to the A,B,C, junction in Wakulla, a 
ride in B Tunnel with GMI , then Steve irving, Rick Sankey, and Brent 
Scarabin exploring the 360 Pit, then Bill Main, Derek Hagler, GMI, Rick,
 Steve, and Brent riding in the 270 Rock Room and the Monolith Room, all
 filmed by Miller.

SALLY AND WAKULLA - a narrated film made fot the Park, now shown by the 
Park after they threw away that piece of shit of Chris Brown's, along 
with the false map from the first project,  which has great shots from 
Wakulla and Sally with a focus on the cave rather than the diving.

DOING IT RIGHT - starts out and ends with great cave-diving footage, but
 with the whys and hows  with a complete rundown on every aspect of gear
 rigging and preparing for this type of diving.

TOUCHA HA - an exploration film made by GMI and Lamar English in Mexico 
, with specatular footage and line laying ad nauseum. Shows and tells 
how to do this.
