Mike Boon (1940-2014) was a truly legendary caver whose many outstanding achievements included being a pioneer in the use of aqualungs for cave diving which allowed him to pass Sumps 6 and 7 in Swildon's Hole; explorations at the far end of Mossdale Caverns with Pete Livesey; exploring major river caves in Mexico, Guatemala, and Jamaica; and a solo exploration to the far end of Castleguard Cave in Canada which he pushed to a glacial ice plug. On the 17th May 2015 a group of Mike's friends gathered together on the banks of the Maligne River near Jasper in Alberta to celebrate his life, reminisce about his exploits, and scatter his ashes - an event that Bill Steele recorded on video. Here, Ian Drummond shares some of his memories of a remarkable man.
