And be completely honest with yourself about claustrophobia. If you have even a hint of it, it could bite you hard.

I'll second that. Jim's a great instructor.

Also, any aspiring cave diver would be doing himself a favor by looking up the original poster of this thread for cave diving instruction. You will walk away from one of Jim's classes confident that you have learned the skills you need for the certification you've received. Jim is an...
