    I just finished reading "The Cavern Kings" by Jeff Bauer and thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm a scuba diver but not certified for caverns or caves. After reading this book, I think I'll just stay an open water diver! I've read information about the caves and caverns in Florida and was curious about the diving. Jeff did a great job describing the Florida cavern/cave system. He did a wonderful job creating the characters and making them come alive in the book. From beginning to end, Jeff showed his expertise in how a person needs to be trained to dive caverns. If someone is considering going into a cavern or cave without proper training, he needs to read this book....it might save his life. My only complaint about the book was it started off a bit slow. By page 40 I was hooked. Some of the outcomes in the book were predictable. I think the element of surprise would have made the book even better. I hope Jeff writes a sequel to this book. I liked his characters and would love to see their progression through life. Just don't let Josh take Elsie back!
