Joel, we T everything in the WKP, but then a cave diver should be able to handle either way with no problem. I can say that whoever is the Farm Animal that lined Peocock, that is one fucked up mess. The jumps are cut way back, and then the line is arrowed to the nearest sinkhole. Here is the problem that some dumb fuck did not bother to figure out : if you do no know the jump is there, but the arrow on your line points back that way, since technically the nearest air is by taking that jump, you get screwed in an emergency by trying to go back that way following the arrow, when in fact the EASIEST EXIT just ahead on another jump which you have to make onto the main line. Somebody needs to take these farm animals out a shoot them in my opinion, and I thank God I do not have to put up with any of them in the WKP. We mark the lines to the most realistic way out, we do not send that way through deeper water or across a gap or a jump, or via sidemount passage, no mater what the exact "distance" is. Cave divning is in the hands of the lowest common denominator on this planet right now, and it is a crying shame. I dove that place the other day with a new diver and was apalled at that line bullshit, and was apalled at the farm animality of the bullshit instructors who were teaching there. These people would not make good roofers, and it is NO WONDER that we have so many deaths in these weenie caves . Joel Markwell wrote: > > Which is safer?
