I have a good friend who cave dives in Mexico a couple of times a year
for a week at a time. He recently lost is long time instructor, but I
don't recall if it was heart attack, or a problem underwater. In any
case, it's damn terrifying, but I don't think it's 50% a year any
more... the gear and techniques have improved quite a bit. And my
buddy isn't pushing the limits at all down there.
