jess,

these keyboard divers aren't ready to do a 35 foot cave dive, let alone a 
350 foot one.  they don't understand what it is like to hike miles into the 
jungle in scorching heat and getting dehydrated before making a deep dive.  
they've got the MGD in one hand and the bong in the other.  i would say that 
they are not even qualified to carry your tanks to the water, so you better 
leave that to the pros as well.  just focus on K tunnel.
