having been only at votex and morrison when i lived in that part of the world, pardon my ignorance in this question. if the caves are so dangerous that management has to prevent divers from carrying lights, why do they let OW divers in the place to begin with?
In those locations, you can have a perfectly safe and enjoyable OW dive without going into the cave. It's not like the whole area is cave.

The problem, well it's not really a problem I guess, but those folks who need to heed the warning are not likely, for the most part, to be found on SB. So it's really like preaching to the choir.
"For the most part," you are right. However, in the recent threads there have been some very insistent voices saying the opposite. They look upon those giving the warnings as arrogant elitists who don't understand what wonderful divers they are already and why dive training is so very unnecessary for them.
