Thanks fflupo, good thoughts.
The point about conditions changing unexpectedly is very very on target and there are any number of reasons. Sometimes it is hard to treat a familiar dive as if you haven't been there before, but you need to, because different conditions can make it so different.
We do lights pretty much like you. Lights are for looking into dark corners and lighting the way out only if it is completely dark. If there is any natural light, that is much better for exiting.
The light stick idea is interesting, I'll think about that one.
We have found a place with a vertical drop and small entrance hole about half way down the line before it opens into a huge and very dark room. Next trip, I plan to attach a couple of strobes to the line so they will hang in the top of the room (about 80 ft) to give us a reference point and maybe light up the upper portions of the room.
Anybody know of a very powerful strobe that might fit our purposes??
