    Depending on the cave, a scooter can help compensate the lack of buoyancy too.

    A little, but a BCD failure would cause you to kick up a LOT of silt.

Suddenly the guy that never wore a wet-suit will be in a dry suit and you guys will give me grief for it. But it will be required for those dives. I think a safety sausage is a viable alternative for some dives as redundant buoyancy and not for others.

    Again, just my uneducated opinion, it will surely change.

    I fear none on this thread are the right tools.

    And doubtful on the change.

    I'm almost afraid to ask: how many Tshirt and shorts dives count as "showers"?
