Subject: Doing it Right (or I wanna be a hero)
George, if you guys are so interested in DOING IT RIGHT and
SAFETY can you tell me why you risk your lives when ROV's
could do a better safer job exploring those nasty caves. Hell,
you would probably be done by now and could get on to some
other worthwhile project with your "team".

But, of course YOU wouldn't have the end of the line, your
robot's would. It would be the BEST way, though. And you are
a stickler for BEST, regardless of cost. Or are there areas
where even you will weigh cost vs. risk?

You are not the be all, end all. But you do make interesting
reading.
