43. Which springs?

Thu Aug 3, 2017, 09:24 AM

Aug 2017

Cave diving scares me to no end. Beautiful, but traumatized by the story of the two guys that went down into one of the springs. They go separated and one of them thought the other had already left, so he took the life line out with him. To no one's surprise, the other guy died. Scratched a message to his family on his tank, and died with minutes of oxygen still in the tank.
