There are many places in life where finding your limits is an exciting and worthwhile endeavor, but at the bottom of an underwater cave is not one of them.
I don’t know what’s worst. Climbing a mountain or caving… they both seem to suck. I don’t think I’m going to find my limits ever too dangerous. I’m just going to stick to sitting in my bedroom replying to RUclips comments and playing games on my pc… maybe those are my limits

Everything reminds me of her...
Their minds clearly are being downloaded by aliens after these dives. No human being would actually enjoy such useless danger. Aliens have co-opted the minds of these divers to explore these caves for them and then they download their brain data when they’re finished. These aliens are in search of specific resources and they can identify where these minerals are just from the formations and patterns in the sand. Don’t believe me ? How could I come with something so outlandish off the top of my head. What I haven’t figured out is why the aliens just don’t do it themselves. I’ll get back to you guys after I figure that out.
i forget the name but this is a "3 stage" diving hole i believe, was found by a farmer and the first two stages are nothing crazy but right after that sign its a massive drop off into pitch black( theres still sunlight that creeps into the second stage). from there, its super silty and dark as you would imagine, but when a group of divers explored it without permission, only 3 of the 7/8 that went came out alive due to excessive nitrogen they inhaled by not using special air in their tanks and getting stuck in faux exits that were just dead ends.
I can't believe you didn't mention the entrance is a tiny hole that you need to be roped down to the water. That to me is the most notable part so the first stage IS crazy. Also to stay at the bottom of part 2 would require trimix to not get narcosis so that is also pretty crazy in terms of depth. But I agree part 3 is the craziest in terms of technical skill. I would almost certainly not survive.

Yea their called “ballrooms” or “galleries” theres a deep one and a shallow one but a lot of people on the way back from entering one confuse the other for the exit to the cave and if they do they end up continuously getting trapped in them until they eventually drown. Scary shit
I started taking a cave diving class, and the instructor basically said, of the 10 or so people in this class, statistically speaking, like 3 of you will die in a cave. You will know it. In your last hour, you will see your breaths counting down to the end. People have been found in caves holding one another, because they knew. If you’re okay with those odds, enjoy the class, and learn some interesting skills, but if that’s not something you’re willing to face, no shame in heading out now, and I’ll give you your money back…
I got my money back and dipped. No thanks. I’ll stick with diving in open water thank you very much.

@@RIFLQ shut up
Can we all agree that Cave Diving is one of the most terrifying things someone could ever do? I have watched enough MrBallen to know that the risk of dying in one of these is way too high. Like if you die way down deep in there, they normally won’t risk another person just to bring your body back up. So you’re literally in a dark watery grave. It’s horrifying.
I think the death by drowning is more horrifying then the logistics of bringing back a body you left behind, it's no longer you anyway.
Id only feel bad for the people finding my body but ... honestly if you're dead you don't worry much anymore.
Cave diving is possibly the last adrenaline junkie thing on earth i would try. I'd rather tightrope walk the grand canyon, at least in the event of a failure I'll die quickly. Wedged between rocks watching your oxygen meter run out...or the diver's knife. What a horrible choice
MrBallen has pointed out how changes in the weather have killed cave divers, too.
What I found really weird was I watched this video 2 days ago because it popped up in my recommended and then I just decided to watch a radom mr ballen video and it happens to be the video on this cave and the sign and how 2 people died and I found it so strange I just had to find this video again and tell you
I don't think that matters much once you die. It's not as if you're conscious after you're dead. And you'll be in a dark box underneath pounds of dirt otherwise
Reminds me of a documentary I saw once about people searching caves for prehistoric animal bones.
Sometimes you find a cave that will have a sudden drop or pit in it and at the bottom are always massive piles of bones and hundreds or thousands of claw marks in the *solid* *stone* walls.
The animals would go into the caves for shelter or to hibernate, and the further in you go the less light there is. If you have ever been underground you'll know what true darkness is and how unnerving it is to be in an open space in utter blackness.
If the animals went too far they'd just suddenly fall into one of these pits and start to panic, trying to get out, alone in utter darkness.
Even worse, the smell of the dead animals may have actually lead even more in, like a trap.

These are actually fairly common signs in diving spots with cave networks in. They’re the exact same make too, grim reaper and warnings of painful slow death and all. I think they’re required to be placed there by law or at the very least they’re put in front of caves that are known to kill divers. There’s one in Vortex Springs in Florida, in front of their underwater cave system which is locked by a steal gate and can only be accessed by instructors or divers with years and years experience (and even then they’ll try and persuade you not to bother). I remember a guy went missing in that cave system a few years back and they never found the body, but they say there’s probably dozens of corpses stashed inside caves like this of similar people who overestimated their talents and crawled inside and got lost and stuck inside the caverns. Apparently there’s even a spot where you have to detach your oxygen tanks and push them through a tight crevice because you won’t be able to fit fully inside with them on. Cave diving is some scary shit
Take off your tank?? Imagine, you do that, squish through the crevice and on the other side are a bunch of bloated corpses..
@@giobikefans thankfully there’s no dead bodies inside Vortex Springs (that haven’t been found at least) but it’s a hell of a tight crawl. The cave does “stop” eventually but to get to the very end, there’s an incredibly tight crevice which, at its worst, is only 8 inches tall. Apparently there’s only a handful of people who have made the push to the end
@@officialFredDurstfanclub I’ve never considered myself claustrophobic but there is no way I’d do any of that, sounds horrifying!
I had to remove my tank in fire fighter training, in a tight tunnel you crawl through (a practice setup), in the dark. Had no problem with that, but I can't imagine doing that underwater, in a cave. You're pushing the thing your life depends on ahead of you, to somewhere you can't really see that well.
Here’s a video of someone breaking into the end of the cave (the tunnel to the end is called the Forth Restriction). Considering very very few people have gotten to the end of the cave, this is a fairly important video

I used to cave dive in the past. It's by far the most dangerous and probably worst decision I've made statistically speaking. There's so much that can go wrong and generally there's nothing of particular note to see compared to wreck diving. You DEFINITELY need proper, dedicated training. There's special ways of swimming to kick water sideways not down so you don't silt up the water and blind yourself. There's methods of navigation 'pilotage' that you need to do relating to back-casting bearings and noting landmarks. You need backups for your backups. There can be rapid currents that come out of nowhere due to cracks. There can be dangerous wildlife floating through on currents that you can't avoid if they're venomous. And if anything goes wrong, even slightly, you're dead. No where to go and if you panic you just die faster
What made you decide to get into it in the first place despite all the risks?

Dangerous wildlife? Any examples of what you could find in a cave? That’s probably the more terrifying part to me

@@sakesaurus the cave divers didn't.
You just had to fit that punch line in didn’t you ?
The issue with caves like this is not a fact of people getting lost, getting trapped, or running out of air - rather, those are symptoms of a much greater problem which occurs from diving at depth; a problem that even the world's most experienced and well-trained divers have no means of defense against. It's called nitrogen narcosis. When diving at depth, inert gases (especially nitrogen) force themselves into your bloodstream due to the different pressure. Nitrogen narcosis will, in essence, mimic the effects of extreme alcohol intoxication or a nitrous oxide high. Divers will find themselves extremely confused and easily lost, sometimes diving themselves further into the darkness because they simply no longer know any better. There are even some cases where divers had taken their oxygen respirators off and attempted to inhale water, because the narcosis made them think they had resurfaced. Once nitrogen narcosis kicks in, if you have no wingmen, then you're as good as dead - and the scariest part about it is that you're too far gone from reality to understand that you're dying..
Edit for more info : Nitrogen Narcosis is actually different from "The Bends" as some people believe. The narcosis is the result of a high concentration of inert gases forced into your bloodstream from the high water pressure around you, increasing your nitrogen/ blood content in a similar way that alcohol does when it gets you intoxicated. The result is, as the name suggests, a nitrogen high. "The Bends" is the result of those gases leaving your bloodstream too quickly due to a rapid ascent (and therefore rapid decompression,) and they quite literally boil as they exit your body. The effects of "The Bends" somewhat mimic the feeling of hydrogen cyanide poisoning. You don't often hear about Narcosis because it isn't so much an issue in open water deep dives, as it is in a cave dive. In an open water dive, you need to simply ascend, the speed of which you ascend depends on the severity of the narcosis; which may force you to weather the impending effects of "The Bends." Whereas, if you are in a cave, narcosis can make you too dumb to properly escape. The Bends is dangerous to a deep open water dive; as Narcosis is dangerous to a deep cave dive.
Holy sh*t
@@diegog3532 my thoughts precisely
@ImYourPapi I give people signature authority to plagiarize lol
You can prevent nitrogen narcosis by slowly going up. I saw a video about people building a bridge or something, and they had to dig really deep, so nitrogen narcosis was a problem. They combatted this by slowly going up. I am not sure why going up slowly fends off nitrogen narcosis though. (Sorry, I got nitrogen narcosis confused with nitrogen sickness, two completely different things)
@@dogeball2628 You may be confusing nitrogen narcosis with nitrogen sickness, more properly known as decompression sickness , with a slang name "The Bends." If you ascend too quickly, the gases in your body expel themselves from your bloodstream too quickly, and the nitrogen and oxygen in your bloodstream begins to boil. The effects mimic that of cyanide poisoning, but is completely curable in a recompression/ oxygen chamber. Nitrogen narcosis is FAR more dangerous than The Bends. In an open water deep dive, if a person begins to experience nitrogen narcosis, an emergency ascent is usually recommended and then they just have to deal with the effects of "The Bends" until they can make it to an oxygen chamber.
Bottom line is, diving has zero margin for negligence, because even the slightest error can cost you your life.

One of the big problems with cave diving that is an unseen killer is the silt. The mud and dirt that has accumulated on the cave floor gets kicked up as you swim through it, but because there is no current, it dissipates incredibly slowly. The finer it is, the lighter it is, the longer the cloud lasts. You can become engulfed in a brown cloud that cuts visibility to zero, instantly causing you to lose all sense of direction. Very easy to sit there, watching your air run out, waiting for the silt to sink down low enough to see again, blinded to the outside world and knowing that if the silt lasts longer than your oxygen, you die right there, thrashing in the mud.
as a complete noob, so please excuse my ignorance, but why not just connect your suit with a line so in case of no orientation, you can simply follow your own line back?
@@hazardeur You've hit upon the precise way experienced cave divers dive, because of the reason you mentioned. Usually they even put little markers on the rope so they can feel it and know which way is which.
You do need proper experience to manage the rope and learn how to work with it, not letting it get tangled, paying out evenly, not accidentally losing it or breaking it, getting the right kind of rope, and knowing how to swim without tying yourself up in the rope, but that is how cave divers dive.
Some of the more popular cave dives usually have already laid a rope out on the "main" pathway that you can tie into to explore side passages.
@@_Cujo_ allright, makes sense. thanks a lot!
Underwater, covered in silt - those are exactly the kind of conditions that lend themselves well to fossilization.
At least the divers will go down in history.
@@ravenwolfkittyface1802 No kidding. Some caves are also very cold and the water isn't well oxygenated because of lack of current, so the body itself would probably survive intact for possibly years, no bacteria to decompose the flesh. The Great Lakes in the US are like that as well. Shipwrecks go so deep and so cold that divers have found fully clothed bodies inside.
A big issue is dust. A lot of areas past a sign like this are fairly cramped. If you hit the walls in one of these areas, dust will scatter and visibility will drop to zero. It makes getting out pretty difficult.
Not to mention the difference in pressure zones in underwater caves.
This is what kills people in ship wrecks. You breathe more molecules of air at a time at depth to maintain pressure in your lungs against the water, so you run out of air more quickly the deeper you go. The water you push back with your fins kicks up silt that's drifted in over the years, and pretty soon you can't see a foot front of you. You have less than ten minutes to find your way out. You don't.
I was honestly like, what could happen tho, but this image is terrifying. nevermind i dont wanna know the rest.
Usually referred to as silt if anyone wants to know. The effect can last for minutes or for months depending on the water flow of the cave. Have a great day.
@Vatrogasac Mirko Delta P doesn't really happen in caves. It's mostly in artificial situations that have drains or valves where it occurs.

As one who has dived in caves and seen such signs, it’s likely that beyond this point there could be an underground river of sorts with a flow that you cannot swim against or what very quickly becomes a maze or extremely large cavern where you will very quickly become completely disoriented. The silt getting stirred up isn’t actually too much of a problem. Most of the mud/silt that lines the caves is a thick jello like goopy substance that holds its shape when molded even under water. Kinda reminds me of a super thick pudding.
It can definitely still get dispersed though and other sediments can definitely be present.
Scariest shite...
I havent even considered this and its suddenly been tacked onto the very top of my list of greatest fears
Stop trying to sound smart idiot wtf lolllllllll 🤡
It's funny that there are three schools of thought here in the comments:
1. It's not about getting lost or the dust, the main danger is nitrogen intoxication
2. Even if you barely touch the wall, you'll immediately get surrounded by mud and will get lost
3. You shouldn't be worried about dust/silt, it's just that you can fall into an underground river or get lost in the cave because it's a maze
Each person sounds confident, each has something to back their theory (e.g. experience or a father who served in the navy), each has tons of upvotes, yet all of you kind of contradict each other...
@@anatolydyatlov963
well a lot of comments here are purely I heard this or this person told me such and such, but very few have actual first hand experience.
Nitrogen poisoning/intoxication is very real and a risk in any kind of diving. But we do have depth gauges and any serious diver will have a dive computer that actively tracks your nitrogen levels based on depth and time. As long as you are keeping an eye on it, you should be just fine regardless of max depth (obviously within reason) . And if you cross into the “decompression diving” threshold it will beep. That’s long before you will actually be “intoxicated” however you might be real sick for a few hours after you surface. ( it’s like the worst migraine you could ever imagine matched with bad nausea, body aches, and a cold feeling) And you can even set some models to warn you before you get to that point. People online love to massively overstate the risk because it sounds dramatic and gets their comment likes.
Don’t go too deep (≈40m) and don’t ignore your computer and you will avoid most of the risks
Also depending on where you are in the world the makeup of the walls can vary substantially. That’s just common sense, but I’ve never truly worried that the sediment was going to get so stirred up that I would become disoriented by the sediment alone. You just use common sense, and don’t stir it up unnecessarily. It’s really not like you brush a wall and suddenly you just can’t see. You have to really stir it up to affect your vision in a meaningful way. Not to say that it can’t be stressful. If you give it time it usually settles a bit you just have to stay calm
And yeah anyone with experience diving in caves / aquifers will tell you that they certainly can turn into mazes and there certainly can be flow. I’ve stuck my hand through an opening in some rocks once and felt a current on the other side. It was truly terrifying. And some of these caverns can be massive, definitely not something I’d want to swim into… it’s like what appears to be a black abyss.. that no dive light will effectively penetrate. especially because there is likely going to be other caves leading off of it so it can be very difficult to figure out where you came from. We often carry very long spools of line (with one end tied to a solid place on the surface) that are a precaution to help identify our route if we do happen to become disoriented.

About 10 years ago I got my open water certificate and was really excited to cave dive. Even bought a diving vest that could be used in both dives (which was considerably more expensive). But then, during a bus trip for a dive, they showed a recently released movie called Sanctum. After watching it, I said to myself a big "no thanks" and never mentioned my ex-interest in cave diving ever since.
EDIT - forgot to mention: the movie is based on a true story. Diving is considered a high-risk activity.

@@matheuscruz8574 EXACTLY
I just got my diving license and deepest I’ve gone is 20 meters. Holy shit that shark was terrifying, I was swimming behind some other students who where more experienced in a very tight coral reef, there was a point where two huge boulders that had pressed against each other and had a little cave like space between them. We swam through it, except I didn’t. The nozzle on my tank got stuck in a space in the bolder, where the back of the tank had got wedged in the same space. So there I was. In a pitch black extremely claustrophobic space with no way to get out.We didn’t back torches because the bit with the cave was only gonna last like 20 seconds so there was no way I could signal the instructor. Somehow one of the other students found me and tried to pull me out. Unfortunately they couldn’t go in front of me and pull directly because of the width of the cave. I had to put my arms and legs at a super weird diagonal angle and push as hard as I could and only then could I remove myself, this whole time I’m panicking because I’ve only been diving 3 times and never in conditions even resembling that. The area was also a Reef Shark migrating sight or something. Reef Sharks are only like the size of a person-ish, so not big for sharks but still really big. While looking down the other end of the cave at the bit with the light pouring in I just see the silhouette of a shark swim past and I just booked it down and so did the other kid with me.
And that is exactly why I'm terrified of the ocean. No thanks, I'm never gonna go diving!

In my eyes cave diving is really no different than playing Russian Roulette. Also, I thought most of the appeal of SCUBA diving was seeing the beauty of under the water. Why you'd want to go in a dark, dangerous cave where you'll probably die is beyond me.
Actually, if Cave Diving really has a 30% chance of death, then it’s statistically more dangerous than one-in-chamber Russian Roulette, in which you have an 83% chance to live, and a 17% chance to never play again. Then again in Russian Roulette, the only control you have over which bullet you land on is whether you spin the chamber before your turn or not. So it’s certainly more random, so take the comparison with a grain of salt.

Before the sign is an area where you’re close to the open air so you can dive there without extra certification. Beyond the sign is a network of kilometres of tunnels, some only as wide as your shoulders.

Took a scuba diving class with my dad and ended up passing the class so the teacher took us all to this place in Florida called Devil’s Den (proper name ik). So we went, the cave was 50ft deep and had multiple smaller tunnel systems stemming off from the single cavern. We all get on our gear and get down in the water for the first time. This is my first time cave diving so I had 0 experience with this. I went down and sat at the bottom with all of my fellow classmates in a circle. My dad tries to come down but ends up swimming back up. I later found out he couldnt change the pressure in his ears so he couldnt go down. We began swimming around exploring and one of the absolute dumbasses in the class decided it would be a great idea to ignore one of these signs and tried to go into the tunnel. Luckily, an instructor was there and snatched him out and told him to go up. It was fun for the most part as long as you didn’t decide to ignore signs.

@@JoshYxVdM that's why it's so dangerous. Just like currents that can carry you around and drown you simply because you cannot get out.
In rivers and creeks, there's what's known as "drowning maxhines", and in sufficiently deep open water, there's what's known as the "blue zone." Basically, the way to counter the "blue zone" is to wear a small, buoyant object on your wrist next to your diving watch, and follow it, if you want to go up, as many people die from not being able to figure out which way is up in the Blue Zone. As for drowning machines, avoid areas of waterways that contain severe eddy currents, namely under waterfalls. However, it is the small waterfalls that are usually no more than a foot high that are the most dangerous, as they hide drowning machines almost perfectly. Consult experts, as this information may not be entirely accurate.
Hydraulic jumps in small waterfalls or dams can be deadly. Once you go under, you might not be able to surface.
I looked up "blue zone" and the definition that kept coming up were areas of the world where people have longer life expectancy. I tried several permutations and it still came up as that. What are you talking about? Are you sure they're called blue zones?
@jason I would imagine it's when the water is deep enough you can't see the surface, and still can't see the bottom, just blue.
There's a river I used to cycle next to here and it is absolutely filled with low-head dams. Each one has very large and obvious "please take your kayak out here and portage, you will die" signs. Every few years someone dies anyway.

When they learned a team had beaten them there, they had to turn around. Unfortunately, Lawrence had gotten frostbite on his toes and it was slowing down the entire expedition. In the journal of the expedition lead, Robert Falcon, it was said that Lawrence told the team he was going for a walk and that he would be back soon. It's said that Lawrence knew he was going to be the cause of the entire teams deaths, and decided to walk off into the frozen wasteland of the antartic. He never returned, and the team unfortunately did not make it.
The second song titled "Bogatyri" is based on Ukrainian folklore on 3 men who had gone into the Chernobyl reactor to open the sluice gates, which released radiated water found on the bubbler pools, that could have caused a massive radioactive steam explosion to occur had they not made it to the gate and redirected the water. Their lifespans were cut significantly from the radiation.
The third song is "The last dive of David Shaw"
The last 2 songs are about the Challenger spacecraft, which launched in 1986 and took the lives of the 7 astronauts that were aboard when the spacecraft disintegrated in the air.
All in all, it's a very emotional album and one of my favorites, even if it makes me cry sometimes.
@@medude420024 The context behind the songs fit well with the music considering how depressing it is. Thanks for sharing, never knew it had such meanings behind it, will definitely change how I listen to the album next time.
@@mcchicken1849 No problem :) certainly gives the album an extra layer of emotion
Now imagine all of the countless caves on Earth that _don't_ have a helpful, spooky sign warning you where the deadly area begins.
I've only cave dived once, and it could barely be called that because it was a very small cave. I could see all three exits from inside, and it was by the coast during the day so lighting wasn't an issue. But... I miscalculated how much the currents would move the water through the openings in the cave, and all the walls were covered in urchins so basically if I touched the wall it would mean agonizing stabs from their pin needles. So my go pro pov was basically me struggling to stay in place away from all the walls while the water kept pulling me around randomly. I dove down further into the bottom exit of the cave that had a sand floor and just plopped down in the sand like it was a safety blanket. I don't give a shit about caves, but fuck sea urchins. Even so, I haven't wanted to cave dive since then because of the claustrophobia. Same goes for night diving.
night diving sounds fucking terrifying
@@owencarroll9878 it’s kind of serene and a bit different. One night dive we went down through a very white, milky layer. Popped out of the milky layer and saw little beady red eyes all around us. Shrimp! Very cool.
@@jeffjohnsisland5551 If you didn't specify that it was shrimp, I'd have shit myself in your position jfc.
@@mortarion9813 We're all wearing our anti-sea-gremlin flippers, right?
@@lucasprice8861 Definitely, but you never know when out on a dive and it slips the instructor's mind.
Well that sign is something I will never ever see with my own eyes ... Much respect to the big balls needed to even dive yet alone in a dark cave ....
You’ll see these signs in cenotes all over Mexico. Don’t have to be in a cave to see them. Just at the entrance to one
you never ever go diving alone, especially not in a cave, thats just asking to die
@@nou2500 it's so surreal knowing people have actually had moments in those caves where they come to the realization that there's no way out and that they will die in there.
*"THERE'S NOTHING IN THIS CAVE WORTH DYING FOR"*
OR MAYBE, the stuff in the cave is so awesome nobody wants to leave and it's why no one has ever come back.
Well they found the afterlife
It's an SCP lol
You are on to something, lets go in
There’s mermaid bitches in there. 😳😍😍
@@InspectorSplatter 🧜♀️🧜♀️🧜♀️😂
I love that they turned around and literally prevented their underwater cave death by following directions.
This is one of my favorite signs ever. Everything from the simple yet traditional Grim Reaper effigy to the bold lettering in colloquial English. Objectively well-designed and gets to the point, shivering your spine. Whoever made that sign is not just a hero but an artist.
This sign is so iconic that it is easily recognized even by non-divers on the Internet.
Yes I saw the same sign on a news story where a dad and son died when they went past it. Stuck with me that the sign is no joke.
Love him or hate him he’s spittin’ straight facts
ruclips.net/video/oLRuX4Dbq5c/видео.html
I love how the statement “Theres nothing in this cave worth dying for” isn’t quoted as a fact, because even when faced with death the author of this sign understands how subjective that statement is.
i love that the divers didn't even look at each other, they just said nope and went the opposite way
9y after this video was uploaded and it's still terrifying to think that there's bodies in there still stuck.
I think you are looking at your phone upside down. It's 9 years old.
@@juliansoto2651 woops, yeah. sorry bout that.
Just a big pile of bones, wet suits and diving equipment………….
@@walmartusopp Sorry doesn't quite cut it this time, Eusoff.
Those signs are in dozens and dozens of underwater caves in Florida. They are called "the Grim Reaper" sign and are placed at the end of the zone where light can be seen from the entrance warning open water/untrained divers to STOP.
Your right there all around in other countries as well
Never seen one of these in my life and I’m 26 thanks RUclips lol
It makes a lot of sense to put those signs up. Imagine how many lives they've saved.
"untrained divers" pretty sure it's to warn ALL divers.
@@isaiahromero9861 The signs are placed there by cave diving training agencies. Certified, highly trained cave divers do hundreds of dives worldwide everyday with very rare fatalities. Historically, divers without proper cave certification, make up the majority of fatalities.
There's skydiving, rock climbing, skiing, base jumping, and all sorts of risks I would potentially consider, taking into account risk vs reward. But cave diving has to be the highest risk to reward ratio I can think of. I couldn't be less interested.
Edit: thank you to the comment below. Science is a damn good reward.
I think the thrill is that you'd be the first human to find some new animal, plant or mineral down there where no ones ever been, but obviously there's a reason no or few people have been to these places
Yes anywhere you can find new species is worth going to. As far as geological formations though? You can make an educated guess without risking the worst imaginable death (besides being eaten alive of course) Although I might be partial as a biologist myself
And that is why you use unmanned drones instead of *yourself*
It's a little pricey but a life is irreplaceable, steel and silicone on the other hand are.
@@Starflooflegood point but just how dexterous can a drone really be? I could see a reason to send a scientist in certain situations AFTER it has been determined that a drone can't get the job done
Yeah, even though I won't do any of those. Cave diving sounds like the most sewrcidal thing ever.
I can’t believe this was 9 years ago and the creator of the video is still active to this day
“DO NOT GO BEYOND THIS POINT”
Diver: let me go beyond this point
More like, I wonder what they don't want me to see?

@mark The secret to what comes after death. Swim on down there so you can find it.
@@user-vr5zk9ox8d 💀
@0:33 you can see the different layers in the water column. This particular case doesn't look too significant -- but it's an indication that they are entering an area with different conditions that could affect their equipment.
If my memory serves correctly, that is where the gas content in the different layers becomes significant enough to start affecting breathing mixtures in the tanks -- I know in some caves there's a "death layer" that is beautiful to look at, but seriously messes with the breathing apparatus and can cause unconsciousness -- which is certain death underwater...
When it comes to water -- NEVER go beyond your skills, training, or equipment. I have rescue swimmer buddies who are the safest water-safety sticklers you'll ever meet -- real hard-core professionals are the first to tell you -- "Don't go beyond your level of training."
Great eye!! What you are seeing is actually a halocline, it’s the mixing of fresh and salt water. When you are swimming through it, it actually is blinding. It creates a hazy shimmer that if you shinned your light on your hand 6 inches in front of your face you wouldn’t be able to see your hand.
How would gas content in the water affect an airtight system?
@@TomCat686 9 years later and still comment
@@mrosskne i don't know if this is the answer or not but tubing is not 100% impermeable and gases are still exchanged through many plastic tubes that can keep out or in water
you could say that the "death layer" is... *breathtaking*
My first scuba instructors wholly believed people who do cave diving have absolutely no will to live.
I agree with them.
“There’s nothing in this cave worth dying for” that’s exactly what a cave with hidden treasure inside would say
