    I just realized that 250 fpm is just under 3 mph. That is screaming fast! That is literally the same speed that the average person walks.

    wish my scooter could do that. the ole girl tries her best but she runs more of a marathon pace than a sprint...
    I've done it so many times I don't even think about it anymore. Basically I'm just using the scooter to get back to the area I want to dive. I do note my run times at the traffic light and stage rock though just so I can compare to previous runs and make sure things are still running well.

    When you put it that way it actually seems slow!

    Well let me put it a way that seems faster then, lol

    If you and I started a dive at the same time and turned at the same time, and I was swimming JB and you were scootering wakulla, by the time I made it to the alabama room, you would have broken the world record for the longest linear penetration in a cave.
