| MEXICO - AKUMAL
Chuck Stevens reported that he has sent out a notice to all NACD cave
divers and instructors in the immediate area concerning recent problems
encountered with line arrow wars, line changes, and stolen safety items.
Chuck has proposed that this notice be published in the next journal to
inform all members of the situation, as foreign instructors go to that area
to conduct courses and guides.
Changes to Line and Line markers
Individuals are altering established line routes and line markers to suit
their personal preference. Consistency must be maintained. In
the interest of safety, any changes to line and line markers in the caves
must first be presented to the appointed NACD Safety Officer for review.
Safety equipment has recently been moved from caves. As a reminder,
at no time should anything be altered or taken from a cave (e.g., stage
bottles, personal line markers, safety or jump reels used in complex diving
planning, etc.).
Any violation of these protocols should be reported to the NACD Safety
Officer.
