FOCUS SPORTS: In this section of the blog will be an in-depth look at varying types of adventure sports. Plenty of videos and pictures to bring the sport to as much life as possible. I will give bio's on 'Key Players' of these sports who are either pros, innovators or just very skilled at the certain sport. I will also mention popular places around the world that are very good for whatever sport is of interest. If ANYONE has ANYTHING to add to this section (especially personal EXPERIENCE) please let me know. I am getting my information mostly from the internet so having some personal input would help! Hope you gain a new understanding of these sports and maybe find something you had no idea existed. (and then get out there and try it!)
1) Focus Sport: CAVE DIVING
http://www.catholic.com/blog/trent-horn/cave-diving-and-apologetics http://www.protecplaya.com/mexico-cave-diving-full-cave-diver.htmCave Diving-A fantastic way to DIE. Cave Diving is one of the most dangerous adventure sports on the planet! Later on I will point out specific risks that make this sport so deadly. The sport was started by a few British guys who made homemade scuba suits back in the thirties. They dove into some flooded cave passages in Somerset England. In the US the sport evolved from scuba diving. Unfortunetly many explored the caves and where uncertified divers. This resulted in many fatalities. The State of Florida had to almost ban scuba diving near cave entrances. Most all of the deaths that occur in cave diving are from people who are inexprerienced and uncertified in technical diving. PLEASE do not go exploring cave passages at your leasiure. Most experienced cave divers plan these dives for long periods of time even a few years in advance. You MUST be cave Trained!
Cave diving looks so cool! I've never heard of it before, but I definitely want to try it someday. The pictures you posted look awesome.
