> they're an experienced rescue diver

Pretty sure he's just a dry caver, but he had the local knowledge of the cave system (when it was non-flooded).

Thank you for the correction. I was relying on memory there, which is obviously a dangerous thing to do. After verifying what you said (so as not to make the same mistake twice), I replaced that claim with your correction.

I've given my comment another looking over & I believe it is free of errors; if anyone spots any, please do call them out.

It is kind of all over the Internet that he's a cave diver to the point where I started to doubt my memory myself. If I look his name up on DDG it comes up with "Vernon Unsworth is a British rescue worker and cave diver" on the sidebar which appears to be from wikipedia, but that information isn't there.

Based entirely on one throw away line in the movie Thirteen Lives that I just got done watching, I think it is possible that Vern is actually a trained cave diver, but the cave in question was way the hell over his head.
