Rich, 

Thanks for the insight.  It is easy to get caught up in the
experience/skills/ comfort level and "auraro"  (for lack of being able to
explain the concept) of more experienced divers.  Especially in this
"Technical" type diving.   Maybe it is balls.  Or more likely in my case --
follow the leader. Even though the leader may have 10 years expeience on you
and 100 dives in a cave I have 12 in.

I have learned first hand the problems created by trying to push a little to
much to quickly.  I found my self in a section of cave and was not quite sure
where I was.  It took me a minute to look at the line markers and think
through were I had gone.  It may have been only a minute or so....but the
feeling of doubt will never be forgotten.

I agree 100 percent with your suggestions.  After all, It's only a hobbie --
albeit a very expensive one.  :-)

Humble, Balls less, pennyless, but alive!
