    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.

        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.
