I used to do some spelunking and really enjoyed it. I have to admit the 
sight of effortlessly cruising through the passages rather than doing the 
slimy belly-crawl (with the associated contusions and raspberries) is 
enticing. But sitting there on a decom staring at a wall would  drive me nuts.

Ocean diving always has something to see. If not schools of fish then a 
variety of plankton just outside your visor. Water as clear as it is in 
those caves just has the appearance of being sterile. And to me there is 
nothing more exciting than seeing the ghostly outline of a shipwreck take 
form as you drop down the decent line. I will have to take a trip to one 
of floridas springs and see what it's like.
