"...and the people who dive that would have once been too old..."
I assume you're refering to geezers like meself (68). No argument that extreme diving is safer today than it was in the "good old days". Cave diving began, I believe, with J.C. in France; J.C. the French dude, not the savior dude. But as I asked MHK, is the no wet steel mandate for all diving or just the extreme stuff?
