Cave Diver

The author of this page is a born-again Christian first, all other things afterwards. Here is the story of his conversion; and here are some other Christian items appealing to Prof. Read's sense of decorum. (Does that mean they're a good thing? Ah well, you must judge for yourselves)

Welcome to "solocavediver.com"

This is in fact Charles Read's scuba webpage. I appropriated the web addresses "www.solocavediver.com" and "solocavediver.com" - which are precisely equivalent - because I thought that would be cute, and because roughly half of the diving logbook entries below are about solo cavedives. I intend to add more stuff that's specific to the topic of solo cavediving. Please send comments and corrections to read@maths.leeds.ac.uk. Thanks to Steve Gerrard for taking the photos (see above and below!). The short index follows immediately. The fuller and more descriptive index is underneath it. Below and on the right we have what is called a "dry" caving trip. A rather wet Matt Smith is caught on a rather wet camera lens near the bottom of the rather wet second pitch of Heron Pot (3rd January 2011, first trip of the new year). My "sorry I missed the rebelay" speech was delivered shortly after. Not that it makes much difference - the lower entrance crawl gets you even wetter! 2nd pitch, Heron Pot
