You nailed it, Lyndon. Karst Productions is Wes Skiles and Jill Heinerth,
both NSS and CDS members, and the best underwater videographers in the
business, bar none. (You'll see some of their work at the ICS.) And yes,
they were asked to do some really dumb things, from a caver perspective
(like the underwater explosions), but hey, money talks and bullshit walks.
They're running a business, and laugh about "The Cave" just like the rest of
us -- all the way to the bank, in their case.
