Caves are OK with the electric lights and guide and walkway. NFW I would ever do this. Even being the best is no guarantee.

"A British cave diver who was part of the dramatic rescue of a Thai youth soccer team last year was himself rescued from a pitch-black underwater cave in northern Tennessee on Wednesday night, authorities said".

Seen something like this on shark week a year or two ago. And the great whites were tagged so they could see exactly when the sharks spit and how long they stayed down. It's was a eye opener.

No matter what you are there is always something bigger and badder, to paraphrase my father.

Got PADI certified in 1974 & have never had the slightest compulsion to swim into a dark cave. . . Ever!

I wonder if it hurts when sharks shit their own teeth.

I dove lava tubes in HI, maybe 50-60' with a clear path to the exit at the other end, once was enough.
On the other hand diving in the dark can be fun!

Precisely, what is the point? Just go to a stimulus deprivation tank and enjoy the safety and warmer water.

Bigger is not always badder..... but it makes for a damn fine head start.

In earlier years I (hobby/semi-commercially) collected tropical fish in Key West which is easiest while they're sleeping and you haven't lived till something big & solid bumps into you in the dark.

I did it, turned in my 2 week notice!
Bittersweet it is.
My direct boss was really excited for me, gave me a big hug. I'm really going to miss having him as a boss. My dotted line boss... not so happy. He told me I was breaking his heart. I've done a really good job for them. They'll obviously survive, but they're gonna feel it for sure. I'm certain they'll be hiring 2 buyers to replace me.
I'm going to miss my team but not the chaos. Controlled chaos I can handle. The shit I've had to deal with over the last 3 yrs... fuck that, I'm done!
I have a feeling I'm going to be bored at my new job. I can hardly wait!

Had to go take a drug test today. Turns out shitting in the cup is not a sure fire way to pass. I feel bad... I've been telling people it's how we do!!
Fortunately I had some synthetic pee with me. They took the sample, I should be good!

I start vacation tomorrow... 4/20 in Vegas! Gonna celebrate the new job!!

I always tell them to fill their bladder with someone else's urine. That's what the Olympic athletes do.

I got a bit of a break while I'm doing laundry. I even got to work on my shitty little car a little bit the other day. I'm looking for tires for it but nobody in town has any or can order any but I did find some on ebay. Took a while to sort through and find actual car tires instead of trailer tires (which 2 of the 4 already on it are btw) but I found a set of four for a little over $100 shipped.
