That's my other sport . . .

Laugh, Gasp, Choke, LOL! I should know by now not to open any of your posts when I'm eating or drinking!

I think I may have just aspirated a Kalamata olive.

I can tell you from personal experience from just this past week. I did four uneventful dives at Ginnie, both swimming and scootering, had a great time with DivinDoc, returned home, took my road bike into the dive store I own, and damn near got killed on US 41 while riding in the brand new bike lane. I told the shop manager as I arrived that morning, "..you know, cave diving is infinitely safer than biking down US 41."

ORLANDO, Fla. -- A kickboxer has died after she was seriously injured at a local fighting competition Sunday. More on the story here http://www.wesh.com/news/24398047/detail.html
The 34 year old woman, was fighting at the 12th annual IKF World Classic at the Orlando World Center Marriott when she was hurt. A trainer said she was hit with a vicious hook to the head.

But she knew the risks. Better ban this sport, or get the politicians lined up!

I am in the marines, jump out of planes, play with explosives, get shot at, dive with military equipment, ride cycles(triathlons) and cut trees down (arborist) in my free time for extra money. I cave dive to be safe

IMO, vertical caving in wet conditions can be WAY more dangerous than cave diving. Climbing out of Thunder Hole (Jackson County, AL) in a raging waterfall, was a puckering experience.
