Trey pointed out (and only him... all my other flames have been how the = guy can stand the cold....) that one can crawl out of a cave, and the = drysuit as backup buoyancy is less important there than in the ocean. = Having never been in a cave before, I overlooked this, most logical, = point and was considering things from an open ocean standpoint.
