Tabitha Reports on Anges Milowka

Anges Milowka was a world class diver and underwater photographer. An article about her recounts that she “continues to go where no man has gone before, exploring and pushing new cave systems and bringing back images from her adventures.” After reading about all her awesome adventures from her web site (below), I found out she had recently passed away in a cave diving accident. But I wanted to honor her and her amazing accomplishments on our photography blog page. She had passion for both photography and video with vigor. As part of a National Geographic Team on a project with the Blue Holes of the Bahamas, she worked as a stunt diver on the 3d James Cameron and on a cave diving feature film called ‘Sanctum.’ She has spent several years living and diving in Florida’ cave country where she got her first taste of laying line after that she started wanting to reach places no other human has ever seen before and she was hooked. #ewls #womencavers #speleology

Deli has been involved with the National Cave Rescue Commission since 2005. With a simple Google search you will find her name everywhere participating in cave rescue training efforts. She appeared in the New York Grotto 2008 report for the Cave rescue Seminar and 2013 Orientation to Cave Rescue. In 2006 Kansas City Grotto mentioned her in the Orientation to Cave Rescue at Indiana University. Central Indiana Grotto enjoyed her demos in 2012 at the club's Vertical training. At the 2011 NSS Convention she presented "Atmospheric Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide Levels in Caves: What is Normal? Preliminary Results" with Anmar Mirza. And in 2005 she was involved in the Buckner's Cave clean-up project at Indiana University Bloomington. Deli's credentials in civilian life are impressive too! T
