At this point the family has asked us not to disclosed any direct information, there will be an official DRSS accident report in the coming weeks.
I can say this: we have located one of the victim's and body recovery is ongoing, second victim has not be physically seen yet but we know with...
Hi Rich
Funny you mention that and yes I agree, we are in the process of editing a different more "serious" version with narration and more info on the cave.
The current version is more of a light headed vacation video type film.
thanks
Welcome to a new chapter of Anjanamba's exploration, Africa's longest flooded cave. This ongoing exploration started in 2016 and with each new expedition the cave spirits guide our hand revealing the dark secrets that live under the Baobab forest.
A stone's throw from the Haitian border in the southwestern province of Pedernales in the Caribbean island of Hispaniola lies the island's most decorated cave.
The entrance is reached after a crawl through a dry cave restriction which is fiercely defended by unstoppable hoards of rabid...

yeah it happens a lot but that is only proportional to how many free flows or other major gear failures (not many ever) the most minute thing to go wrong on any of those "guided" dives and you will get multiple fatalities. What you fail to point out is that the vast majority of guided cavern...
from what I gather so far the main cause of non cave dive trained accidents this year has been irresponsible dive "guides" taking OW dives into the cave zone, could the NACD report and somehow sanction or get theses "guides" in trouble? that would really help big time.
In Mexico for example many...
I think the problem is not lack of training etc.. I think the problem is that training agencies will not hand out real sanctions, recreational diving agancies like PADI, SSI, CMAS should immediately revoke any certifications/affiliation when dive shops like Neptuno get caught in hazardous diving...
IMO these kind of "guided" dives are 100% the fault of the irresponsible guides, it is already a blurred line between the safe cavern zone and the full cave zone so to put any blame on unsuspecting OW clients signing up for what thet think is a safe cavern dive and then a gudie takes them into...
PADI Sent out a major safety warning letter last summer, Neptuno also got the letter but bottom line they really do not care, I tried to speak to the owner about ho dangerous this was and he told me to F off, I reported this to PADI and to SSI so hopefully they will get a call from them and listen.
Neptuno dive center in Juan Dolio is taking unsuspecting OW divers past the warning sign as if it was not even there and onto the mainline of Cueva Taina, this is insane, it is a full on, silty maze like breakdown room, very silty and is about 250mtrs form the entrance in the full cave zone this...
I dive the razor exclusively and have done so for a while now, i never really liked the MSR bag and for multi stage dives always resorted to using my old Armadillo.
I think that the Razor is by far the best harness but never used it for multi stage dives as the MSR bag never really did it for...
i thought the face added a bit of dramatization and would help to get non cave divers attention when they saw the cover, but i see what you mean.
We are now working on Dominican Underworld vol.1 and this will feature the whole DR cave exploration and diving experience, but the next DVD to come...
