Joel, seven years ago I was appointed Director of the Woodville Karst
Plain Project, and there has not been an accident or death since while
the most extreme cave diving on record was executed flawlessly.
 
Screw the "community", they don't understand why. If they did, we would
not be having these conversations, now would we?

Nothing has changed in the "commmunity", and nothing has changed at
WKPP.

Beat goes on. As fast as we get the word out, the training agencies
multimply your "nightmare". What we end up with is an elite group
worldwide and a lot of accidents happening or waiting to happen with the
rest ( a much larger and growing group).
