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

Then there’s another 1% that aren’t even part of the original statistic because they’re spawned by the pure awesomeness of what’s inside that cave.

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.

But what if there really is something valuable, wouldn’t they put a sign just like this to prevent people walzing in?

Just so we’re clear, your argument is that there really might be something in there that would make being dead worthwhile?

If there was something valuable, wouldn’t they have already gotten it by now?

I’ve played Subnautica. You don’t need to warn me about cave diving.

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.

If we’re serious about keeping people alive, that sign seems to be about the size of a good fence or wall they could have also installed. Just sayin.

That’d be pretty disruptive to wild life and anyone with the expertise to go in

I had not thought of the wildlife, but the sign makes it pretty clear nobody should go in.

You needed training to dive. You need cave training and cave equipment to cave dive.

I think it makes it clear that those with cave diving expertise can go in at their own risk

It’s common for land caves. They put on a gate that allows bats but not humans, and access can be gained by appointment.

Fair point. It just seemed like full effort for a half measure, but I’m not exploring caves at all so what do I know?

To your point however - I have seen other examples of caves where they did exactly that - put up a gate and locked it. I can’t remember if there is actually a gate before this sign too - I just know people have died in there. So hard pass from me.

Or they could ban leaving home because people can get injured outside.

Ah, yes, the slippery slope argument. Can’t have a safety barrier up or else we’ll all end up locked in our homes by the nanny state.

It’s more like those signs in the edge of the Australian outback telling you there’s no gas for 600km or the signs on that crazy ass island in The Great lakes with the 300 ft tall sand face.

Lots of people are capable and go there and enjoy themselves. The warning signs probably save at least a few people some serious trouble
