From Sandman2008: On the link above if you read the comments below the article I could not believe what I was reading for people calling for Dutch Springs to be shut down.

This is a big thing we see when an OW diver enters into & dies in one of the cave systems. There is always calls to close off the system to everyone, even responsible divers. A year & a half ago, there was an OW father who took his uncertified son into a system called Eagle’s Nest Christmas day 2013. Eagle’s nest is a very advanced dive, even for a cave diver (requires trimx & much decompression because of depth). After the tragedy, there were multiple calls to close the site down,... That was after the cave diving community worked hard for years to get access to it. Closing access to dive sites is not the answer. Education of people is.
