Hans,
The fine point of the argument is that "stunt" divers do it impress =
the couch potatoes. The rest of us have somewhat higher reasons. I don't =
believe there is a diver in the WKPP that wouldn't like to see a sinkhole =
open up at the end of the line to ease the logistics. We don't explore and =
map caves to set world records; we set world records when we explore and =
map caves. Unfortunately, the distinction will be lost on many.

Don't get me wrong, I don't accept this level of risk myself but the=20
"what's the point" remark doesn't ring true from a technical diver. We =

do stuff that would make couch potatoes ask "what's the point". Let's =
not=20
discourage adventure and rather focus on doing it right.
