Well guys, it's mostly bad news. I spoke with him. Last weekend he went and dove the cavern at Morrison. I told him that cavern or any overhead was just as dangerous as caves, but he didn't believe me. He said he "wouldn't do anything that he knew he couldn't handle" and the he was going to continue to dive into canvern and overhead areas. He said he was only goes places where he can see the openings while inside. I tried to convince him that this isn't safe.
We talked about the recent Vortex incident and that didn't sway him. I mentioned Superbugman's offer to be at Vortex, and he thought it was going to be a free caving cert. I corrected him and said it was just an informal meeting to talk about the dangers and he completely lost interest.
Luckily, he did say he is planning on taking a cavern course, but didn't say when. I couldn't convince him of anything. I think he has talked with a few people and knows just enough to get himself into trouble. I'll continue to talk to him about it every time I see him, but that is only once a week.
