And I guess you gentlemen undertook your *Expeditions* on your own.
Your own funding, no insurance guidlines, you just put together
your TEAM and boldly went wherever you did. That's swell.

I have no desire to lead a team, I dive for pleasure on the shipwrecks
of the North East. I am not trying to impress anyone by breaking any
records or showing how many divers I was responsible for. That starts
to sound like macho, egotistical BS and that's not my bag. Otherwise
it's scientific diving which, although can be very similar, is 
different from tech diving due to the objectives and means of
gathering the data to be analyzed.

I've never dove caves, and have no great desire to do so. I don't
want to say that cavers are silly for diving in a hole in the
ground, it just doesn't appeal to me at this point in my life.
I dive the wrecks of the North Atlantic, not at all the same as
cave diving. But we have logged thousands of dives on air
up here on dives between 190 + 240 fsw. And I've never heard of
anyone getting an O2 hit let alone dying from convulsions except
where there has been a gross PpO2 error (like when someone diving
mix puts the wrong reg in their mouth).

What works for you probably works well for you, but it won't work 
up here. Try offering an opinion next time, instead of an assault.
