--part1_1d5.5f2f45e.2bb33327_boundary Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi all! sorta new to this list...though I did subscribe for a year or so a few years ago.... Some background....low time low dive number low depth peon PADI! diver with some funky 3 or 4 star Euroweanie rating that I forget right now and a nitrox cert... Also a long time respectably experienced dry (sorta:) cave caver.... Which brings me to a question I wanted to ask and hope will bring some interesting (and maybe even friendly!) discussion. Having been a long time dry caver and having read a lot of dry caving info (and having read a lot of cave diving info as almost as side hobby) one thing has always intrigued me... In the dry caving community there are certain caves/caving areas that have FANTASTIC potential...or so it seems... Some appear to have great geology or are close to great cave systems with no apparent significant differences...but for some reason all leads seem to die out before the big breakthrough occurs...either due to breakdown,sediments,tight passages, etc., etc.......... So my question is...are there any areas where its almost a cave diving community consensus that something GREAT should be at area XYZ but for some reason nobody has made the big breakthrough? Or maybe just your personal opinion of where such a place should exist.... Great could be a deep system ... or a big room..or a long system..etc etc.... Not asking for any road directions or GPS coordinates for your secret sinkhole or spring here :) Being in Florida myself, stuff in the Southeast is of particular interest, but anywhere in the world would be interesting to hear about if its salivation factor is high enough :) Just as a fellow explorer of sorts reading about these sorta things is as exciting as reading about the search for the holy grail or the lost Dutchman's mine... Any input or pointers to stuff on the net would be appreciated... take care all Bill --part1_1d5.5f2f45e.2bb33327_boundary Content-Type: text/html; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <HTML><FONT FACE=3Darial,helvetica><FONT COLOR=3D"#800000" SIZE=3D2 FAMILY= =3D"SCRIPT" FACE=3D"Comic Sans MS" LANG=3D"0"><B>Hi all!<BR> <BR> sorta new to this list...though I did subscribe for a year or so a few years= ago....<BR> <BR> Some background....low time low dive number low depth peon PADI! diver with=20= some funky 3 or 4 star Euroweanie rating that I forget right now and a nitro= x cert...<BR> <BR> Also a long time respectably experienced dry (sorta:) cave caver....<BR> <BR> Which brings me to a question I wanted to ask and hope will bring some inter= esting (and maybe even friendly!) discussion.<BR> <BR> Having been a long time dry caver and having read a lot of dry caving info (= and having read a lot of cave diving info as almost as side hobby) one thing= has always intrigued me...<BR> <BR> In the dry caving community there are certain caves/caving areas that have F= ANTASTIC potential...or so it seems...<BR> <BR> Some appear to have great geology or are close to great cave systems with no= apparent significant differences...but for some reason all leads seem to di= e out before the big breakthrough occurs...either due to breakdown,sediments= ,tight passages, etc., etc..........<BR> <BR> So my question is...are there any areas where its almost a cave diving commu= nity consensus that something GREAT should be at area XYZ but for some reaso= n nobody has made the big breakthrough?<BR> <BR> Or maybe just your personal opinion of where such a place should exist....<B= R> <BR> Great could be a deep system ... or a big room..or a long system..etc etc...= .<BR> <BR> Not asking for any road directions or GPS coordinates for your secret sinkho= le or spring here :)<BR> <BR> Being in Florida myself, stuff in the Southeast is of particular interest, b= ut anywhere in the world would be interesting to hear about if its salivatio= n factor is high enough :)<BR> <BR> <BR> Just as a fellow explorer of sorts reading about these sorta things is as ex= citing as reading about the search for the holy grail or the lost Dutchman's= mine...<BR> <BR> <BR> Any input or pointers to stuff on the net would be appreciated...<BR> <BR> take care all<BR> <BR> Bill<BR> </B></FONT></HTML> --part1_1d5.5f2f45e.2bb33327_boundary-- -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
