Indeed. As one who is interested in expanding my diving to caving (through
proper training and certification of course), reports like this are critically
interesting.

I guess what I mean is that I'd _like_ to hear that the reason was something
that was a happenstance, not something inherently wrong with procedure. This
is, of course, because I feel safest when my safety is under my control, and
not left up to fate. Naturally, one cannot achieve perfection in this goal,
but the risk can be acceptably minimized.

I eagerly wait for more information on this accident. As soon as you have some
Bill, please post it to the list right away.
