Well put! Inez, it is hard enough being a woman doing this type of diving 
without having to sort thru all the BS just to gain a few pearls of wisdom 
from this list.  I do have to admit, even though some of the guys here are 
rather articulately unrestrained, they are not so bad in person.  I just 
returned from sampling some of FL aquafer cave springs and sinks and the 
folks involved weren't dragging knuckles on the ground and they walked 
upright, so there is hope.  As for magazines that talk about cavern/cave 
training the NACD has a periodical publication available (I'll have to look 
up the subscription address for you unless someone else has it handy) and 
Win and Curt's DeepTek seems to have some relevant articles of interest.

C ya underwater,
Dawn (SalvanD@wa*.co*)
