Cave diving! I did this once and never again. I found I’m a bit claustrophobic and it’s not for me. Open water? Yesssssssssss.

Watching The Descent was enough to convince me do never do any kind of cave exploration.

squeezing through a cave passage only wide enough for a human torso is my nightmare.

Throw in scuba diving and caves and you have complete insanity.

Imagine taking your gear off, in a cave underwater and sliding it through an 8” opening while keeping your regulator in your mouth and then spending the next few minutes wriggling and pushing your body through to the other side.
while also knowing in most cases you gotta do it all again on the way home. Fck that

That’s buried deep in geologic snatch.

I think it’s ridiculous that manpower and time is spent to rescue people that go to that level of extreme stupidity.


Humans are an awesomely brave and curious species. It's what got us to the New World and the Moon. I wouldn't want to see that trait curbed.

I've seen videos of it and my palms start getting sweaty just thinking about it.
At least your knees didn’t get weak and arms get heavy
