I’ve actually been scuba diving in a cave (well, cavern according to the standard diving definition). Far enough, though, that I couldn’t get back to air without someone sharing theirs with me.
There’s also some good, terrifying documentaries that I can recommend.
But yeah, I’m not going in a cave ever again. I will go under water and even get a decompression obligation again, but nothing but the largest, safest carves ever again.
I’m too old for this shit.
Am curious about those documentaries. I love caves, but stick to safe tours and whatnot. I don’t know that I would be OK exploring a “wild” cave.
“Dave not coming back”. Those people are ridiculously suicidal. Watch it and contact me later. It’s absolutely insane if you understand what they were actually doing. They don’t do a good enough job explaining that.
“The last breath” that’s on Netflix. Not quite the same. Terrifying nonetheless.
Appreciate it, I’ll check them out.

Here’s a YouTube documentary on one of the most famous cases.
Caving seems like one of those things where while it’s one of the coolest things ever, I also don’t think I would ever want to go in a cave ever in my entire life. It just seems to risky, even for professionals, and it seems like there are so many unexpected variables when it comes to caving that can be completely out of your control.
Dave Not Coming Back comes to mind.
Yup. That’s the one. Suggested earlier.
Very suicidal behavior, but a different way to die than, well, downing while clawing at the solid rock above you.
I know a lot about scuba, and that’s why I’m not going into caves again.
This is petrifying
If you really want a caving incident that’ll give you nightmares… Nutty Putty

Oh helllllllllllllllll no
I can’t wait to watch some freaky YouTube doc about this in a couple months
Good progress so far.
