Geoff Yeadon - Early dives in Boreham Cave and Bear's near miss
Geoff Yeadon was at the forefront of UK cave diving in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. The successful projects he was involved with included the linking of Kingsdale Master Cave with Keld Head in 1979; the linking of Gaping Gill with Ingleborough Cave in 1983; and the linking of King Pot with Keld Head in 1991 (a dive of about 3 km). In this interview Geoff tells of some of the first dives made by him and Oliver Statham (Bear) in Boreham Cave, and of Bear's near disaster on his first cave dive. This recording was made for Sid Perou's Cave Diving Story TV series.
