    FWIW,I have been there several times with different guides,and have encountered some guides who want to give you the most for your money by doing circuits and traverses,by doing "trust me dives" with visuals gaps. It isn't worth it,if you don't know the system,then your safety is in jeopardy. Remember,you can always thumb a dive for any reason.

    Thanks for that one ... I don't do "trust me" dives of any kind in a cave, and would prefer to avoid guides who think that sort of practice is acceptable.

    Life is short. Break the rules, forgive quickly, kiss slowly, love deeply, laugh uncontrollably, and never regret anything that makes you smile.

    Not everyone who reads SB is looking to learn how best to use their new snorkel. Some are here just hoping to get the chance to tell someone else exactly what they can do with their new snorkel. While others are trying to sell their old snorkel. (gypsyjim)

    Jason won't do that . . . he's very safety conscious. And if Jason isn't available, you could go with Natalie Gibb, who's an utter delight -- 4'11", made of spun steel, and with the most infectious smile.

    Bob, you've got all the resources in the world about cave diving in MX just a few miles from you . . . maps, stick maps, lodging and guiding recommendations, restaurant recommendations. We need to get together for dinner or something!
