So quantified more with than without unless we skew the numbers.

and since this thread is more than a year old I’m not even curious enough to look back through it for context.

I'm not even sure what you are trying to argue.

But you can hear it from someone that was there.

We didn’t just “flatten” this curve, we crushed it

In the 1970s and 1980s, open-water diver fatalities in caves were alarmingly frequent. Then, within a short span of time, they all but disappeared. Why?

I was mostly replying to the "they charged 60 for pictures" - then there was a post about how people without any buoyancy control go to caves and I agreed. Didn't really argue. As they say "I care not" - hakuna matata brother - cheers...

I took the cavern course last Christmas. Was a good experience for me.

The average diver I see out at quarries in the Midwest who is nearly upright, stirring up the bottom with a flutter kick, etc., would not last an hour in a cavern class.

Ha. I was a good diver—passed Fundies—and almost didn’t pass a Cavern class! I guess it all depends on how tough one’s instructor is.
