    3-swim a bit more...
    4-a bit more...
    5-bit more...
    6-ok, have look behind (don't stare!)...it should be tetrafree!!!
    7-Go and enjoy your dive!

    What d'you reckon?

    (Thanks Santi)

    Saludos,

    Anybody can be calm and centered with a few candles, some incense, quiet peaceful surroundings...the trick in life is to clear your head and find that calm spot in a *poo*storm...to filter out distractions in a beehive world and focus on simple, true things. - Bob Bates

    Almost there,
    In fact the idea is to place the Back Up Light on the Permanent Line so like this you are already in the cave and the little tetras stay behind.

    Cheers,

    Cheers,
    Too many abbreviations!

    "Primary" could mean Primary light, Primary reel, Primary regulator...

    If PL is Permanent line, how do you "cover" it while swimming?

    The other problem with this whole theory is Tetras might be able to follow your pressure wave in total darkness.

    Ok...ok, I admit it's a bit complicated with all these acronyms...I got confused myself!

    Tetras are not cave creatures and have not (yet!) developed the navigational ability that guides the Lucifuga (Mexican version) in the total darkness of the cave...Or maybe they have!

    Here we have a survey slate to bring out on next dives in Mexican caves, thanks to Texas University and its team:
