Back around 1990, I purchased some beautiful large-format cave map prints. They are signed by some one named "Eric" something, perhaps Hutcheson. I still have those prints. Can you tell me more about them? The one of Eagle's Nest is particularly beautiful. They are "Blue Prints".
@christopherbrown64764 ай бұрын
Yes, the artist/cartographer who created those maps is the superb cave diver Eric Hutcheson, and he can be found easily on Facebook.

I just dove that cavern a week ago. It looks exactly the same now. I can’t get over the size of that CCR but was shocked to see no change to our reels over the past 30 years.

Cool! Eric has maps of his extensive exploration in there! Much of it was no-mount.

Surely the safest way to map & explore underground water caves is to use unmanned underwater drones with CCTV like those used for deep ocean exploration as if they can get to the bottom of the ocean ( which is many times deeper than any cave ) they could be used in caves with no trouble at all as such devices already exist & are used by water companies for sewer mapping & exploration & the use of unmanned remote controlled devices to explore these caves is much safer & eliminates all the dangers & are such devices actually used for cave exploration?

Those 90's electronic drum fills @8:11 are amazing. Its not every day I go delve into diving videos and find something that delivers my scuba nerd-out while also giving me that childhood nostalgia of 90's television. Great documentary. I hope to cave dive in Florida someday!

By today's standards, the equipment in this video is archaic. Having said that, these folks are boldly going...
@christopherbrown6476 Жыл бұрын
Yes, their gear, looking back over 30 years, is archaic -- and so was their predecessors’ stuff which looks really primitive today -- but that’s the primary characteristic of the long timeline of technological advancement. And therefore goals, techniques, and strategies evolve too. How cool will it be to see what people are using 30 years from now -- and where they are going.....? Thanks for your comment!

This is exploration at its best, thorough with careful preparations and in-depth risk assessment. What a fascinating place. I was wondering if there was any sign of life, either flora or fauna, at those depths. Remarkable achievement, going truly where no man has ever gone before, the thrill of it. Thank you for your informative video.
