    I am beginning to think we made a REAL good decision to get a boat that day, and do Hole, and Twin

    Despite the bugs, Mark getting sick, having to deal with Russell in general, and the fact that everyone had a bad dive at Twin except for you, I would have to say you're right! : )

    it is much cheaper if you keep the girlfriend snorkeling or in open water...once you have to buy two of everything it's just insanely expensive. Unfortunately my sig other fell in love with caves in our cavern class...if you can fall in love with aerolito the others just seal the deal.

    This among the numerous other reasons - I miss cave diving. LOLOLOL

    Tracy: apparently you should find a man NOT into cave diving so YOU don't have to buy two of everything!

    Because women cannot cave dive. Men are naturals in the sport.

    I had a class mate that was a "natural". Perfect trim, perfect buoyancy... he never passed the class...

    My SO is a cave diver and the one that first showed me a cavern. But I was too hooked by the caves and worked on my skills and mindset hard after this to be able to dive them. I don't know the lady you are talking about and I don't know if she was a lady or not but do not get on my feminist nerve James and Jamie! If you had issues with her diving, whoever was there and witnessed this, why didn't you go discuss it with her? Maybe you are not man enough?

    Because the OP went to so much trouble to avoid using a pronoun that would indicate it was a female. If the diver had been male, the OP would likely have inserted he or him instead of the person or the individual.

    We did suggest she stay out of the water. We also suggested she work on her skills in ow. I don't think being "man enough " was a problem. And I have no problem with women in this sport and can think of several women off the top of my head that can dive circles around me. This individual however is not one.
