This book is intended for three types of reader: cave divers old and new; divers who may never enter a cave ‘because that stuff is not for me’; but primarily for the curious who wonder what the hell drives someone to take up a pastime so bizarre and mysterious.
When I was writing it, I had in mind non-cavedivers; non-divers too: just folks who find themselves wondering what all the fuss is about since diving while surrounding by wet rocks seems an odd way to pass the time.
