| THE LARGEST CAVE DIVING EVENT OF 2013! |
2013 Cave Summit offers an extraordinary list from some of the world's leading cave explorers.
Join our host, Light Monkey and the ADM Exploration Foundation (along with several other sponsors), for a day of “down and dirty, nuts and bolts” cave exploration presentations.
Each speaker will lead a visually thrilling discourse-not only on cave exploration itself; but also including the tools used to complete these tasks (rebreathers, decompression obligations, logistics, complications and safety preparations, for example).
Light Monkey will provide a “finger-licking, southern style” lunch, FREE to all registered attendants.
Saturday Night: Howl at the Moon with live band "Lunar Urge" and stuff your belly with Light Monkey New England Clam Bake Extravaganza. (Advanced payment and registration required for Saturday night party and dinner.)
The Cave Summit 2013 is an event devised BY serious cave explorers FOR cave divers. With this list of several of the world’s renowned cave explorers presenting, divers uninterested in learning need not register. |
