Accident Analysis Report by National Speleological Society-Cave Diving Section

Incident on May 26th, 2023, at Jackson Blue Spring, Florida

Cave diving instruction is largely based on lessons learned from accident analysis.  While there have been significant changes and advancements in cave diving over the past twenty years, there has been a shortage of accident analysis to keep up with those changes.  The NSS-CDS Accident Analysis Committee was (re)formed to fill the need for the continued systematic analysis of cave diving accidents in North America.

The National Speleological Society-Cave Diving Section (NSS-CDS) is a 501(3)c non-profit corporation with a rich history in conservation, education, exploration, and safety. In fact, the organization’s roots run so deep that it is impossible to separate NSS-CDS history from the history of cave diving itself!
