Subject: Re: Cave training
Don, I can spot bullshit a mile away . I knew it.

To answer your question, my instructor was Parker Turner. At that point
he was no longer my instructor, obviously ( after 77 cave dives)
although he had only given me my card a few days earlier, and the
accident had nothing to do with instruction - the cave collapsed. 

It collapsed behind me, Bill Main, and Lamar English, and in front of
him and Bill Gavin. Gavin got out of it due to his extreme ability. I
would not have at the time. 

I took a relatively new cave diver in there the other day, and thought
about that when we went throgh that spot. I am still relieved every time
I get there and the entrance is not blocked. I still will not dive where
McFadden got killed, nor will I go through the restriction where
Sherwood got killed anymore, although I did that with JJ in Feburary,
and JJ got stuck in the exact spot , and that finsishd us off from ever
going through it again- we went out a diffrent way, and I asked my guys
to cut the line out of that place so nobody else can go through . 

Cave diving is not the big prize badge everyone seems to think it is. I
know how bad it gets, and I get real hot when some stroke pussy yaps at
me like a lapdog and wants to tell me how it needs to be taught. It
needs to not be taught to strokes with attitudes.
