8/5/2006 - I passed!
EP & I did it - we passed our Cavern/Sinkhole course! 
The weekend was not without its challenges - the weather was not forgiving, and not only was there constant rain and Antarctic wind, but it even HAILED at one stage (and the ice took a while to melt too!). Only 3 of us were in wetsuits and I was the only one in a regular 2 piece with no special seals. Yes I am insane. The water temperature was between 13-15C, but it was definitely colder out of the water than in! Anyway, the excitement hasn't really kicked in yet - am more relieved and exhausted from such a full-on weekend. I'm sure I'll feel better when I've had a chance to wind down. Hopefully will get a chance to go cave-diving one more time before I leave for NZ. Will be good to just get in and not worry about sharing air or having our masks ripped off our faces!!!
