Hi

Just watched a DVD about the wookey hole cave exploration filmed by Gavin Newman.

If you fancy seeing a lone diver filming himself in a squeeze at 70m whilst trying to dig out the gravel bottom with his face in the dirt whilst trying to get to the 'end' of wookey hole then its definitely worth getting hold of a copy :shock:

It also has an interesting bonus material film about Rob Parkers 1985 exploration. Also worth a look just to see him trying to negotiate a ladder through a squeeze :!:

Hats off to the divers in wellies :!:

cheers

Think I might start wearing wellies just for the laughs.

Anyone read 'Raising the Dead' another insight into the crazy world of deep cave diving?

I read it a couple of years back. Mad stuff!! Seems crazy, only had 350+ dives which really surprised me.
There is a you tube clip of the final minutes from his camera :shock:
