No injured cavers recorded.
After attending the cave diving session at the International Congress, Bob Nadich and Scott Morris, experienced cave divers, headed for Craddock Springs to push a lead they had discovered previously. The lead, however, appeared to have closed, due to the shifting of breakdown.
While setting a line, a slab of breakdown fell on Morris' legs, pinning him. Nadich, above, observed a continuouss stream of bubbles coming up in one place and assumed something was wrong. Descending, he aided Morris in shifting the rock. The whole incident took only a few minutes and there were no injuries.
Cave divers conducting a self rescue in an incident that could have been serious if the victim had been alone. Organized cave divers seem to have a very good safety record. The numerous fatalities seem to come from scuba divers who enter caves, not from divers who have trained for cave diving specifically.
