those that find it don’t come back because it’s just so neat

Ooo a cool rock! Worth it!! dies

Aside from some fish which evolved with no eyes (which is kind of cool), the only other thing you are likely to find down there is a dead body that everyone decided was too dangerous to recover.

FACT: 99% of gamblers quit just one spin away from a jackpot!

Are you sure what you’re doing is worth it?

I dunno, the open water can be a bit worrisome too.

That’s a fact. Salvaging those ship wrecks gave me such anxiety. I died a few times by getting lost.

I’ve done training dives in man made quarries under zero visibility conditions. There’s no way in hell I’d go into an actual cave under those conditions.

It was bad enough when you’d almost run into a purposefully placed sculpture or bathtub in that flooded quarry.

You had to do a scavenger hunt to find stuff to pass your training and it was super disorienting.

I don’t know if PADI still does that sort of thing or if it was unique to my training center conditions but it was wild.

I’ll stick to open water, thank you very much.

New fear unlocked

This feels like a metaphor for mistakes I’ve made

Here is a clip from Donald Cerrone on the Joe Rogan show where he tells a story like this. I really loathe Joe Rogan but this story is fantastic. Nightmare fuel.

I dare you to watch this and not get absolutely freaked the fuck out, lol.

Caves are also not uniformly shaped, the way you go in could look a lot different on the way out.

Yeah, this place has quickly diluted into “literally any image with text in it.”

Yeah, this one is very clearly a cave funeral

Nazi gold here I go dive!
