1) Entering and exitng through surf, depending on conditions.
2) Long surface swims from shore to the drop site - especially when 
navating by following the reef.
3) Anchor dives with nobody in the boat (incase the anchor breaks).

That means not diving with strokes.  Since, by definition, everyone who 
doesn't dive in Florida caves is a stroke, and since none of the above 
three scenarios would occur on a cave dive, it might be touch to follow 
this one.

HOWEVER!  There is a loophole!  Rule #1 says don't dive with strokes, but 
it doesn't say you can't be a stroke yourself.  I am a stroke because I 
don't dive in Florida caves; but I also usually dive solo.  Thus, I can 
do any of the above solo without violating rule number one.

Aloha,
Rich
