Are these Doug Ebersole's pictures from Mel Clark's class? He takes such gorgeous photographs.

Very nice pics. Seems like a rebreather would be a great choice for cave diving if for no other reason you aren't producing bubbles that may "mess" with the cave some way. Not trying to start a war, just a thought.

Yes, that's a very nice thing about rebreathers in caves. In fact, I think I read somewhere about a cave that is so delicately decorated that the people who manage it restrict diving it to rebreather divers.
