On November 04, 2014 Deputies responded to Blue Springs Recreational Park in reference to a distressed diver. Upon arrival Deputies learned that the diver had been down for approximately 2 ½ hours. Edd Sorenson, owner of Cave Adventures and an experienced rescue diver, was contacted to and responded to the park.
When Sorenson located the diver in the cave at the Blue Springs Recreational Park he was using his flashlight to signal for help and was coherent. Sorenson was able to decompress the distressed diver before bringing him to the surface. Once the diver emerged from the cave he was treated by Jackson County Fire and Rescue. The diver did not sustain any injuries.
Sheriff Lou Roberts would like to extend his sincere thanks to Cave Adventures owner, Edd Sorenson for his willingness to always assist the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office with distressed or missing divers. Sorenson has successfully rescued five divers from the caves at Blue Springs Recreational Park.
