I couldn't imagine being in an underwater cave knowing you are running out of air. Every fiber of your body is screaming to you that you need to hold your breath or you will drown, but if you don't breathe.. you'll die... If you do breathe... You die. I couldn't imagine the fear. I hope when I die it's instant.

What cant go wrong going cave diving in an iceberg? Getting hypothermia and dying? The ice closing and crushing you? The oxygen tank or the equipments jamming due to temperature?

And we're very, very lucky to have These people that risk their lives to do these things in the pursuit Of knowledge and education of our planet.

[@scottyfox6376]

29:44 mins I don't understand your statement about some divers not understanding decompression in cave diving. I have my PADI open water dive cert & we have charts for depth & bottom time to calculate decompression intervals & times. So regardless of where your diving the same calculation applies. This statement implies what ? Poor training or none ? I honestly can't comprehend anybody cave diving at depth & not having adequate certification, that would literally be suicide tbh.

[@AmandaWilson-j3j]

I watched a mini documentary about a father and son who received diving equipment for Christmas bc Cave diving was big in the area they were from. Unfortunately neither father nor son were aware of the dangers, educated on depth cave diving and that Christmas afternoon they went diving into the underwater cave and didn’t have the proper gas mix to be at such a depth and both drowned😢

On a hunch, my Daddy and I walked the narrow path to the lake shore. To our dismay, the lake was gone! It looked a lot like Lake Jackson on this video. Scientists came and did experiments such as tossing a mattress with painted markings on it into a hole into which the water had gone. To everyone's utter surprise, that mattress came up in the Santa Fe River, miles to the south! This was just about the time the Florida Aquifer was discovered.

Considering your chances of dying on a roller coaster is 1 in 75,000,000 there is literally no reason to be remotely worried. When youre in a car is when you are in the most danger. In the states the likelihood of dying in a car crash is 1 in 101. Lol roller coaster
