One thing I don't know if everyone knows, is that not everyone CAN scuba. 1 there are conditions where your lungs can't take it. 2 not everyone is capable of trusting the mask. 3 even less people that don't know how to swim and are now being taught could learn to trust it. 4 we are talking about young kids going into basically mud in the dark. It isn't clear pool water or even murky lake water here. This is cave diving. It is incredibly dangerous when you are incredibly skilled.

I was present when a man started trying to kill everyone around him with a knife and he was stopped by a Father jumping on top of him taking the man down but getting stabbed fatally in the abdomen a few times on the way down and on the ground before a few people could help get the knife away. The man had his son there with him and what I have always wished was that there was something like this for the man who saved several lives that day for that boy to go and see. There is nothing however because not enough people were killed. Just the Father and one other person. Everyone else survived the injuries if they got stabbed or slashed. I'm so happy that they did this for everyone to be able to pay respects and just remember even if they weren't involved at the campus that day. I'm sorry my story had really nothing to do with yours, I just felt like I needed to share as I don't even know the man's name and have no way to find the son and tell him I'm thankful that his dad was a hero that probably saved my life that day when I was a child. I'd like to think I could do the same thing today as an adult because of that man's sacrifice and bravery that I witnessed that day. So if you are out there, Son of the hero wearing the blue jacket (what I know him as) your dad saved me, the small boy only a couple feet in front of you that day and I thank you because I can't thank him. I will always remember your dad.

Add crawl. It isn't a natural movement to swim no matter how long you have been or how much you do it. So I would add crawl around the house to all of that probably other than the coordination part of standing up needing to be a part of it... There really is no real way to know, but this is as good as any outside of throwing them in a pool and starting them on the baby course.

The pressure issues that they don't know they are avoiding is of little consequence, you are right though. I also would not dive in that cave. Let alone the proposed tandem rescue dives to save the boys that don't appear to either be able to learn to swim or have the strength to.
