He has only done a few hundred of these deep cave dives, he can only run about five to eight miles per day and swim 4000 meters per day , and he is old, as in 47 years old. With this in mind, I have asked him to limit his depth by staying off the floor of the caves ( the ceiling at leon Sinks are only 285), and to limit his bottom times to 200 or 300 minutes when deep. I have also asked him to keep the decos and total dive times to less than one day due to his age and condition. I don't want him to end up looking like Tom Mount. -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'. Send subscribe/unsubscribe requests to `techdiver-request@aquanaut.com'.
