Ginnie Springs

Went diving this weekend (November 18th) with my girlfriend to the Ginnie Springs area. We where told that a Scuba diver drowned in the cave system that morning in the Devil's eye spring and we witnessed the Firefighter dive team pull out the body. I was told by someone else diving the area that this was the 19th person to die while cave diving these springs in the past 10 years. Have not seen this in any news, so I am posting it here in the hopes that cave divers be more careful when diving in caves. May he rest in peace and condolences to his family.

Re: Ginnie Springs

People with alot more information than me have put forth that it may have been a gas management issue since tanks were empty. Train, train, train, dive, dive, dive but remember your training always.
