	Sheck Exley - Biocrawler
		Sheck Exley (April 1, 1949-April 6, 1994) was a cave-diving pioneer.
		Exley is widely regarded as one of the pioneers of cave diving, writing two major books on the subject: Basic Cave Diving: A Blueprint for Survival and Caverns Measureless to Man (ISBN 0939748258), and establishing many of the basic safety procedures used in cave and overhead diving.
		Exley was also a pioneer of extreme deep water diving.

	Scuba Diving Board - Sheck Exley
		Exley was disturbed by the high death toll in Florida’s caves, and he thought that educating divers had to be the solution to the mounting fatalities.
		Exley was proved right, and over the years, the death toll fell dramatically as more education became available to would-be cave divers.
		Exley went on to great achievements in cave-diving, including a depth record of 881 feet in 1989 and a record cave penetration of over two underwater miles during an eleven and a half hour solo dive in 1990.

		Exley was equally famous for his expertise at deep diving, an even more technical and formidable challenge.
		The team conjectures that for unknown reasons Exley ran out of gas in his primaries and was forced to switch to the side-mount "travel mix" that was far less appropriate for that depth, making a bad situation worse.
		I imagine Exley hanging there trying to fight back the darkness until the side tank ran out--this could be just a minute or two at that depth--and by then he may have been too incapacitated to get another regulator into his mouth.

		Sheck lived a life of adventure, danger, and excitement of a degree that few people can even dream of, or, if they do, those dreams are nightmares.
		In this book, Sheck tells of his nearly fatal beginnings as a cave diver, of his instant obsession with the sport, of his evolution into a master teacher of safety and cave diving techniques, and of the many dives on which he set length and depth records.

		Exley was proved right, and over the years, the death toll fell dramatically as more education became available to would-be cave divers.
		In the process, Exley became one of the pioneers of technical diving, at that time a new field of diving that concentrated on using various gas mixtures (other than air) to achieve unprecedented depths and bottom times.

		Exley, a 45 year old mathematics teacher from Live Oak, Florida, died on April 6, 1994 as he attempted to descend to a depth of over 1,000 feet in a cave in Mexico.
		Sheck Exley particularly excelled at pushing back the traditional cave diving barriers of distance and depth.
		Exley's wife Mary Ellen descended to 279 feet, where a ledge might have blocked the flow of bubbles.

		On 6April94, cave diver and explorer Sheck Exley died attempting to reach the bottom of the Zacaton sink hole in northeastern Mexico.
		Most likely Exley reached a point where he was unable to inflate his BC mechanically with compressed gas and wrapped the line around himself to stabilize himself while sorting things out.
		It was not like Exley to fail to check his gas supply, but the physiological stress of the rapid compression (HPNS) could have occupied him enough that he was not aware of his situation until it was too late.

		At the last minute, Sheck Exley and Bill Gavin had a meeting of the minds, and at a meeting called by Exley and Gavin at Greg Knecht's house Exley agreed to join the WKPP and dive with us.
		Sheck and I got going with this immediately, and when it came time to dive Wakulla, he and I did the setups with Jarrod, Bill Main, and Jerry Messick, who is just now returning to the team along with Todd Kincaid to add a little extra power to our efforts at Wakulla.
		On the first dive, Sheck, Bill Gavin and G Irvine added 1400 feet of line to Steve Irving and Bill Gavin's line, which had been added to Sheck and Paul's line, which had been added to Bill Gavin, Lamar English, and Bill Main's sneak dive line the week before the first project at Wakulla.

	Book Review: Caverns Measureless to Man
		In fact the reader is taken through the gamut of problem free descents and extraordinary depths; to Exley’s own near fatal experiences; and the near fatal incidents, and ultimately deaths of diving partners.
		Considering the sheer number of the author’s achievements, and the contribution he made to the development of cave and very deep diving; the narration is surprisingly devoid of self promotion.
		It is also, sadly, a roll call of divers who have lost their lives in the pursuit of extreme diving.

		Of all the envelope pushing that was a part of cave diving and deep diving's infancy it was very apparent that Exley was incredibly lucky to not die or get seriously bent in his record breaking pursuits.
		Sheck's book delves deep into what drives people to pursue an activity that most "sane" people shudder even to think about.
		During his life, Sheck helped set the standards for safe cave diving, and was responsible for pushing many of the limits of the sport.

		An exceedingly open man to those he knows, an intensely private one to those he doesn't, Exley is an enigma in the diving world: he holds virtually every cave diving record in terms of depth and penetration, and yet, he wants no publicity for those records.
		Exley is also something of a reluctant standard bearer for the new sport of technical diving: a subculture of mission-oriented divers whose use of technology enables them to descend to ungodly depths.
		The thought of Exley not returning from a cave dive, even one to 1080 feet, is as incomprehensible as that of a young Muhammad Ali dying in the ring from a punch.

		Sheck Exley, Mary Ellen Eckhoff, John Harper, Paul Deloach, Lewis Holtzendorff, Court Smith, and others, slowly poked and prodded their way through these underground labyrinths and produced our first cave maps of the area.
		After several requests for copies of this survey data, we were finally able to coax enough information from other divers to be able to corroborate, with a pretty good degree of certainty, that we were in fact in the Falmouth/Cathedral tunnel.
		Although we still haven't gotten any of Exley's survey data to compare with our own, the distances sited on the maps coincide with the distances between the major sinks we traversed.

		Later refined by pioneer Sheck Exley and elucidated in his book Basic Cave Diving: A Blueprint for Survival (Exley, 1979, 1986), accident analysis is a means to rigorously dissect an accident into its constituent parts with the goal of determining what went wrong.
		Applying this tool to cave diving, it was discovered that most diving accidents could usually be attributed to a primary causal factor and typically one or more contributing factors.
		In 1990, the late Sheck Exley revisited his earlier work in a paper published in Underwater Speleology.
