I'll bite...pool is not an overhead, confined space. You did not have direct access to the surface. Find me a 12 meter deep pool that is an overhead environment and I might agree.
Anything can happen even in a pool. Do you need changes in a pool, no. In a cave, yes, with exception to you I guess. Your argument of pool comparison is silly.

Yes, in a cave you need redundancy of the equipment you require for the dive because you are in an overhead environment, while in a pool or OW it is accepted that you do not need the same degree of redundancy.
As much is clear.
My point is that I planned the dive to take place in an environment where I could not have gone into deco given the amount of gas I carried.
Had I gone or planned to go in the 22 meter deep section of the cave where it stays deep for a significant length, that would have taken me beyond the 12 meter average depth instead I planned the dive for, and indeed a Dive Computer/Bottom Timer would have been indispensable (i.e. "no bottom timer, no depth gauge, no dive").
