Slowly gaining a better idea on how to dive. Made it to 800' on the first dive, my best so far, before I had to pull out the ?WoR to get me out of trouble, damn priest summoned Shagrat and co, and me with no healing potions.
Made it down to 1050' as a cl17. But found that I just didn't pack enough punch to take on anything I happened across. Combo of Air Hounds, Ochre Jelly and Uruks did me in.
