Indian Springs

Located on private property just south of Tallahassee, Florida, Indian Springs is often regarded as the best cave dive in NorthAmerica.The main passage tunnel reaches 600 feet (183 meters) before coming to aT-junction.At this point, divers can turn right to head upstream or left to go downstream. There are several points of interest within the cave including the Bone Narcosis Room, the Wakulla Room and the Power Room. Most of these are best reached by use of diver propulsion vehicles. Keep in mind that the average depth for a dive in Indian Springs is between 120 and 180 feet (37 and 55 meters), making this a technical dive as well as a cave dive.

Indian Springs, Floria

Located: Mt.Gambier , South Aaustralia

One of the first sinkholes discovered in Mount Gambier, Kilsby’s Sinkhole has a fascinating history. Divers flocked to the area in the 1950s, often diving the caves with little prior training.After a tragic double-drowning the area became a weapons research center. Later an agreement was reached between the landowners and Australia’s cave diving association to once again make this a dive-able cave.The sinkhole itself is a 213-foot (65-meter) limestone cavity filled with crystal clear fresh water. It boasts both overhead and non-overhead environments.

Measuring in at 6 miles (9.5 kilometers), the system is home to mosquito fish, shrimp, freshwater eels and an endemic species of crustacean.Although several caves exist, only Ben’s Cave is open to scuba diving. In addition to the fascinating mix of fresh and saltwater, you’ll also see stalactites, stalagmites and fossilized conch shells in the cave.

El Cenote

Playa Giron, Cuba

El Cenote is highly regarded as one of the treasures of the diving world. It is a lake connected to the sea, and has a high visibility rate.You can enjoy the view above water, but what is more enchanting than spending some time with the sea anemone and the coral reef fish that swim beneath the waters? It’s entrance is about 66 feet deep, and the dive is limited to 100 feet, but it is known that the side fissures travel down to about 230 feet. With a great view of rock formations and about 2600 feet of passage to explore through, what is not to love?

CHINhOyI Caves

LOCATED IN: North-Central Zimbabwe

At Chinhoyi Caves in north-central Zimbabwe, there is something to keep every level of diver entertained, from open water to trimix divers.The system of limestone tunnels and caves is today filled with unusually clear water.There are a couple of entrances to the system, but the Sleeping Pool is the most popular with its 65-foot (20-meter) vertical walls and several windows that allow penetrating sunlight. One of the rooms is littered with bones while the other contains coins tossed in for good luck.

This is one of the largest open cave systems, with lots of light filtering in. Outside of a few videos on youtube, in my research, I have found that there is much skepticism and paranoia from the locals, surrounding their lack of diving into the waters. However, with the beautiful entrances, and the open diver rating, this is one of the most easily accessible caves to dive from.

Cave Diving Dangers

Because of the nature of cave diving, there are several dangers associated with the practice. In a typical cave diving scenario, the scuba diver will encounter an overhead environment, preventing direct ascent in the case of an emergency.Additional cave diving dangers include reduced visibility due to lack of natural light and disturbed sediment, strong out- or in-flowing currents, as well as deep diving risks for dive sites at an advanced depth.

While rare, cave diving accidents and cave diving deaths do occur. Most cave diving associations argue that the vast majority of divers who have died in a cave did not undergo specialized cave diver training. Because there is no reliable information regarding cave diving deaths worldwide, it must suffice to say that scuba divers wishing to participate in cave diving should do their research regarding safety and certification prior to entering the water.

Inexperienced cave divers are urged to practice cavern diving (defined as diving not beyond the reach of natural light) before advancing to full cave diving.

I am the person who complains about basics that are outra eously expensive, but the quality o these shirts and hoodies has been touted by ashion wear blo ers throu hout the youtube-iverse (that’s a thin ri ht?) My avorite are the waffle hoodies. I’m not sure just how com ortable I’d be without the drawstrin , but I’m onna say it’s a desi n concept I could et on board with i the hood fits just ri ht.

Human.. Doing new things

How to be a better human

I guess it all starts with identifying why you’re worth being a better at what you do.There are many people who will want you to change It.They see you being better than them at things as a threat. So what? Do better anyway. However, you don’t want to compare yourself to Others.

You are doing better because you are improving yourself. If you are interested in learning how to be better in your community, try Learning how you can give back. Whether it be through giving up time So that others can be serviced with food or clothes, or even an open ear You want to give this up, so you can learn something new, feel something Different.You literally are breathing and dying at the same time, What more of an enigma do you need to attempt being better at it?

Sometimes, being a better person starts with pulling yourself up by your Bootstraps and understanding better what the meaning of being a total Failure feels like. Other times there is, “you’re not really a failure yet, keep trying “ voice that lingers overhead, but ignore that.

Overall, in my own questioning of what being a better human means, I think it has a lot to do with what is going on internally more than externally. You can do so much on the outside, but if your innards are caving in, How will you ever be able to enjoy all of the nice work you’ve created in Your environment?

I hope this was exactly what you weren’t looking for.Amind fuck of sorts.

I beseech you

Emo Albums

Revisited

This is the part o the zine where we o in-depth about an album that was around when I was just a wee tot or maybe in middle school, who knows. I was just a url seekin to escape the confines o a small hood on the ed e o the murder capital o the United states. One thin I knew or sure was there weren’t any people around who saw my music choices as anythin other than rebellion.

Theauthorityson

This album came out when there was a wave of mass change in the United States.The country had been on the brink of going to war over petroleum and oil in foreign countries. Listening to this is like turning up any of your favorite albums over the screaming of the new couple next door, like when you would blare music over your fighting parents, or if you just liked listening to music loudly.

Some of my favorite tracks are recognizable by their public

popularity. Some were in fact made popular by early 2000s movies. My favorites on this album include, APraise Chorus, The Middle, The Sweetness, If you don’t, don’t, Cautioners & My Sundown.

This is the album you keep tucked away until shit feels like it’s about to hit the fan.

There is also a deep understanding that there is more to life than what we are seeking from it’s everyday doom an gloom.

I listened to this whole album about five times before writing about it, but I still couldn’t find the words to describe it, that would feel succinct.

“Even if your heart would listen, I doubt I could explain”
