Update: 2015-06-07
Description
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.
In 1976 and 1977 he was a member of expeditions to the Sumidero Yochib river cave in Mexico, which were led by Bill Steele. In this interview Bill shares some of his memories of Mike. It was recorded during the 2015 Huatla Expedition.
