What does ego have to do with cave diving?
Ego, stress, motivation, judgement… understanding and dealing with these psychological aspects are all critical in successful cave diving. While cave divers are probably pre-judged as being young, macho daredevils, that may be true only above the water line. Once in the water, even the most confident and virule diver has to know when to “call the dive”, in other words, turn around and head on out when things start going wrong, or, simply, when they get a “bad feeling.” If you don’t think you can do that, then cave diving is not for you.
