Kris, You still don't have the first clue about anything, do you? Were you dropped on your head too many times as a child or are you just doing too many drugs? If you want to protect caves, simply turn everything you find over to the wkpp. Everything we have exclusive access to becomes protected. We have over 20 sights that we alone have access to and they are never dove unless there is a reason. Unlike you and your crew, we do not dive for fun and profit. We dive for a reason, science or data collection for one of the three universities or four government agencies we are involved with. I suspect that the sights you have discovered will only involve minimal involvement from the wkpp. If they are sinks, it should not take more than two days, one day upstream and one day downstream, to wall them out. Then they are shut down and remain protected. All information will be collected, the owners will be satisfied and the job will be done. Leave cave diving to the pros. Nobody gets hurt, especially the cave.
