Well, being that I asked my road trip partner yesterday before supplying you with that answer and I have great faith in his memory, you can count on that answer being correct.

Good enough for me. I'm taking this as a primary reference.
Thanks! End of story.

Again, thanks.
This historical bit adds to the technical fascination that I have for diving your amazing cave system. A high price has been paid for the cumulative knowledge of cave diving.
The tourist caves that I have visited are exceedingly beautiful dives. Maybe this is why it is so easy to forget that a moment's inattention, failure to follow one of the seemingly "over-cautious" cave diving rules, or even something as simple as the color of the line you are on can mean that you are not coming back.
My most sincere thanks for all of the responses.

Forrest sent me an email that confirms what has been reported in previous posts. (I wasn't checking Rob Neto's story, -my question to "cave diving accidents" obviously got directed to Forrest.)
That one particular gold line has new meaning for me. I'll be remembering why it is gold the next time I return to it...
