FT>*sole* factor, but rather if it is a *contributing* factor. Frank, maybe I'm being anal but Drowning is a contributing factor (the coroner lists it as the cause) of most scuba deaths regardless of where they occur (usually in the water), so to remove this contributing factor perhaps we shouldn't dive? Okay, so that's a bit extreme, you might say we need to weigh all the factors and come up with as safe a dive as we can. Let's get crazy and make ppO2's < 1.0 the standard. We can achieve that with the proper mix. Ohh, but now I'm being too safe . . . We all dive to degrees of safety. Your version of what is safe and mine are different for various reasons including where we dive, our objectives, duration, tempature, conditions, . . . and the list goes on. I personally think it's dangerous to dive in a cave for what *I perceive* to be no gain. So you mapped a cave, if I mapped a stretch of ocean floor would you be impressed. So as far as I am concerned cave divers are reckless and endanger themselves needlessly. Proportionally there are more caver deaths than deep air deaths - and I am unsafe? If I dove caves I might feel as you and others do, but I don't, and I only ask for the same respect I give you screwballs. Mark MRWConsult@ex*.co* /\/\/ --- � DeLuxe� 1.25 #11829 � Silly Humans . . .
