Rich,

From your comment it is clear that like many people, you really have no
clue about doing seriously long bottom times in a deep cave. This type
of diving takes exceptional physical and mental stamina and
self-confidence. This kind of physical and mental stamina comes from
doing this kind of diving and from doing serious workouts each day.
I swim 5,000 yards starting each day  at 5:30am. I always force
myself to stick with it when I would rather get out of the pool
and go have breakfast. This is because I know that in Wakulla,
I won't have the option of just climbing out of the pool.
If you are 8 grand back, then you have to stick with it to do the
return 8 grand. 

The only thing that we need to be patient to find out about is at
what point they will weenie  and whether they do it before killing
someone.

-John
