These are the guys I'm diving with. They are an IANTD shop, one of the dive training organizations with a cave curriculum. I won't bore you with the different organizations, philosophies and approaches (and concumitant flame wars) available to a budding cave diver. It's all quite entertaining really but you need to be hooked in. And yes, I have an opinion.
My instructor is probably not available to dive with me this time, which is a pity, as buddying is a major thing in cave diving and knowing one another helps.
I am carrying a camera. But, beaware, this is a basic setup, and the results will be the left side of modest, to put it some way. Underwater photography is a technology intensive endeavour (I know). This translates into an equipment ladden diver, taking virtually a powerplant down to feed the artificial light sources required to properly illuminate the subjects. In a cave this would be life threatening if not done with the right team, preparation and planning.
So, I'm taking a pocket camera. I just hope to pass on the feeling, not to rival the pros.
