bigger fish to fry

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!!!

Awesome! You are so much braver than i will ever be!
Are you going to do that cave dive in NZ where you go hiking through snow or something to get into an underground cavern and dive? I don't know what it is called, but I hear ppl in my dive club talk about it.

Freshwater diving is awesome, but I think I need to upgrade my suit - a 2piece 5mm is not going to cut it if there's snow around!!! I will look into that spot you're talking about - hopefully some ppl will come over and visit me so I can take them diving!!
