Since I moved to the Keys, I don't get to play in the caves as much even though I finished full cave a couple of years ago. I thought that I would go ahead and start a blog about these dives, some of the issues I encountered and perhaps an insight or two. Right now, I'm at a dozen. I'm going to go back through my notes and fill in these dives as I can.
1:Twin Caves w/Rob Neto 10-28-13
2: Ginnie W/Jeano & Fred
3: Peacock W/mselenaous & Jahjah Warrior 11-29-13
4: Peacock W/mselenaous & Mark S. Jan2013
5. Little River W/Mark S. Jan2013
6: Ginnie W/Jeano & Fred Fall 2014
7: Peacock w Scuba Sam Fall 2014
04/05/2015
8: Peacock W/Imbodie to 3/4 up the Nicholson Tunnel
04/072015
9: Ginnie with Lamar, Jared & mselenaous to the Hill 400 jump. I was using borrowed tanks that were set up backwards to what I am used to. I fought the set up during the entire dive. It was fun hanging with Lamar and Jared but I didn't like fighting my gear on the dive.

10: Ginnie First Solo Cave Dive to the Park Bench (Bone Line Jump)
04/14/2015
11: Ginnie W/Tmccar1 to the White Room. I'm impressed with Tom's SF2 sidemount rebreather. It's logically and nicely laid out and doesn't give me the feeling of being a Rube Goldberg creation. I really like the way the hoses are routed under the right arm. Seeing the White Room was a kick too. No jump indications, so you have to know when to tie off. 8 minutes of Deco.

12: Ginnie W/ Tmccar1 to the Double Lines. I really, really enjoyed this dive. Tom tied in two jumps way in the back and the scenery was amazing. Almost to thirds when we turned it. Just as we hit Hill 400 on the way back, my port reg started bubbling. A quick check showed that the hose was backed off too much from the second stage. Turned off the tanks, unscrewed the reg completely and then re-attached. Turned on the gas and no more bubbles. Was glad that I never had to slow down to accomplish this. 15 minutes of Deco.
