I was recently in Hawaii where I got to do some very enjoyable dives. For one of the dives, I was buddied up with a diver who was visiting from Japan. Another diver on the boat was doing a Discover Scuba. He told us how he wanted to get certified and how he liked extreme sports. I told him that with proper training and sufficient experience, he'd probably like cave diving. My buddy who seemed to be an experienced diver expressed an interest in doing a cave dive, "just to see"... in the company of an instructor. I expressed my dismay about a "trust me" dive and said the whole notion of going into a cave without proper training scared me. My buddy said: "I just went through a 9.0 earthquake; diving in a cave does not scare me." ... Interesting point of view.
