every

Yes, I like many others enjoy the adrenenal rush I get from diving with
sharks, in caves, wrecks and such.
DM>I went on a cave dive in July where 16 divers had died over a 25 year 
period
DM>This was my first time in this particular overhead environment.  Scared?  
He
DM>yes.  Safe?  Hell yes.  If was the fear that made me take the precautions,
DM>extra back up lights, extra rope, back up tanks, and a hanging deco tank.
DM>(What a rush watching the video later)
The operative word is "COMFORTABLE", you having your safety gear felt
comfortable with the situation...that is my point, if you are not
comfrotable......don't dive it!
