I'm not a cave diver. You'll have to ask someone else about that.OK, what I am taking away is that your stiff and inflexible safety rules reduce risk to virtually zero. Therefore, what happens if the virtual zero risk, let's say a very low probability/extreme consequence risk occurs. Example, one of your dive pairs seriously wedge themselves in a very narrow cave passage (despite them wearing the slick dive gear you fiercely promote)? Do you have a contingency plan for this?
But in general, if you try hard enough you can always think up some contrived unlikely scenario to justify bad choices about dive protocols and equipment. What happens if a shark bites my leg off. What happens if the dive boat is sunk by cruise missile. What happens if I'm caught in the middle of a Tiller Galloway novel. Etc. That plays well with the "Internet divers" who love to pontificate online, as if this was some sort of creative writing exercise or role-playing game. In the real world almost all risks can be avoided by following Rule #1 and Rule #2.
