Cave Buddies

[Capt Jim Wyatt]

For a long time now I have offered any cave diver looking for a buddy to dive with me during classes or during guided dives that I am conducting. Generally I ask the buddy to become a part of the team and participate in training exercises for the class. The same drills you completed in your cave classes.

All I ask is that you be certified at least to the level the class is being conducted in and that you are flexible to dive with us in the springs chosen for the training being conducted. Proper gear configuration, gasses etc of course are part of the deal.

There is a training calendar located at: This Link that outlines what classes etc I am conducting. Take a look at the calendar, if you see days you need a buddy and are willing to join in as a student/team member give me a call, PM, or e-mail. I do not charge for this. I would apppreciate a donation to the NSS-CDS as a "Refresher" course in the amount of $25-$50 which will go to the CDS, not me.

Thanks for the head's up. What a great idea! And I really like the idea of a donation to the NSS-CDS. Are you okay with us being CCR Cave certified or does that screw up your plans with your students?

I am not a CCR diver, never had one on. because of that my ability to deal with CCR's in a cave or in O/W for that matter is severely compromised. In the class setting I would be unable to have CCR divers in the team. I look forward to the day when I am well versed, maybe even certified to dive CCR's, but that is not the case now.

Thanks for the question.

Doug, are you cave diving now? If so, then you should tag along with us.

Jim, what a beautiful offer. I'm sorry that the schedule of our trip this coming weekend won't permit us to hook up with you, but perhaps next time. I'd have no problem at all making the donation.

This is most generous offer on your part. Thanks
One question, when viewing the calender there is an indication of the number of spaces available. Is this number the spaces available for additional students or additional folks who can join in on the dive. Thanks and I look forward to participating.

Students or additional folks who can join in on the dive, obviously I'd prefer students but whoever signs up first is who gets the space. I look forward to your participation as well.
