Hate to post this on such a sad day, but I (and two other friends) just completed my Basic Cave course over the weekend, and I'm just so excited to be a cave diver (even just a baby one), that I want to shout it to the world. I went yesterday morning with a Full Cave buddy to Peacock, and there we did a victory dive. It was awesome!
My thanks to our awesome instructor, Dan Patterson. He is an extraordinary diver, a great instructor, a super polite and nice guy, and he has to have the patience of a saint for dealing with us for two days! I highly recommend him.
Now I look forward to s-l-o-w-l-y developing good skills and becoming a good cave diver.

You might want to read my friend and fellow classmate's post about the course and the weekend, and pause to reflect on the complexities thereof! All 3 of us feel very comfortable in OW, different settings, but man, we felt like newbies in that setting.
... but man, we felt like newbies in that setting.
Amen to that, dive buddy! I love the OW students I get to work with as a DM. After taking this cave course its easier to remember how it feels to be a brand-new OW student. I will have more patience with our students and work harder to help them get comfortable with their skills.
"Sometimes I wonder if I really did drown in Atlantida... At any rate, the incident certainly makes accepting the disappointments of life easier. After all, I could be floating lifeless in a volcanic blue hole on Lanzarote instead of dealing with the problems of life." - Sheck Exley
