Great book

As a Northwest Florida cave diver, this is a great listen. I got to think about my dives in many of the same caves and a list of new caves to find. I can't wait for more. Bozel is one of my favorite systems. I only wish there were more on that system.

Great Cave Diving Book

This is another fantastic book from Rob, I highly recommend! As a cave diver with experience in JB, it was cool to hear about his progression and it gave me some ideas of other places to check out in the cave.

Another divers review

I know Rob and have dove a lot of the caves he mentions in this book and I ABSOLUTELY loved it. I have learned about other caves I want to dive and about passages in caves I have been diving for a while... I just recently got to do the Lost Student Tunnel as a student and it was fun and challenging... but to hear Rob's story about how it got its name almost caused me to have a wreck driving home from my trip.... I didn't expect to hear about it so soon after seeing it for myself. He covers a LOT of history about the caves and it is always educational. I am on the edge of my seat for the next book in the Florida series.

The next best thing to diving in a Florida Cave!

I loved Rob's book. My wife and I have just earned our Into to Cave Diving Certification and we have been in a few of the caves Rob so vividly depicts in his book. His descriptions are so realistic and his lessons learned are very valuable. If you ever wondered what it would be like to cave dive but haven't or never will, Rob's book would be the next best thing! Can't wait to read the rest in his series. Thanks Rob for sharing your passion and experiences with us!
