I happen to know Clinton. Anyway, he posted a very good write up in Vertical Cavers on facebook, and I think it is a public note on his fb page? Anyway. There are many caves in TAG that your only choice is in the water. If the top isn't in the water, by midway down the entire place is soaked anyway, and so actually getting underneath it quick can often be the quickest way out of the worst of the flow (just something to keep in mind). In the end, It comes to experience and skill and a bit of crazy, but what cavers don't have a bit of crazy? I think some of the digs you do in unstable areas is crazy, but each their own. In the end, despite a potentially very bad situation, the *SKILLS* of the people there meant there were no incidents, no injury, no death. This cave in particular this is low/mid level of the amount of water that flows in, so it was not seen as a hazard initially. If you don't like being on rope in water, don't go to that cave (or many others in TAG) but seeing as how there are over 15,000 to choose from you'll find something to suit your style.
