Subject: Re: women and overhead diving
As you may suspect, a higher percentage of OW women divers than men do not
wish to apply themselves to the exactness or rigors of cave diving.  All
too many women were raised with the notion that such things that require
an indepth understanding of processes and equipment are beyond them.
There are some very good female cave divers but alas I have seen too many
who are dependant on their buddy for decisions all the time.  There are
some wimpy man in this catagory as well.  Now let the flames roar   :)
