Spelunkers are crazy, out of every stupid thing you could do that has a high chance of killing you of you if you make a tiny mistake you choose spelunking?

Exploring beginner friendly caves is really cool. But tight passages like this and the nutty putty cave one are absolutely terrifying, and I want nothing to do with it.

This IS the nutty putty cave, the pic is just rotated 90 degrees.

My first and only cave experience was with a friend who had done the tunnel before so he knew where it went and was safe. It was slightly wider than my shoulders and started with climbing a rope up into the tunnel from a river and ended with a T intersection.

Cenotaph 17 points 2 years ago

But scuba spelunking gives you the worst of both. Easy to get lost, easy to get stuck especially because you have a big tank on your back, if you let silt kick up its easy to get turned around and lost in the cave, and of course you also have a limited air supply.

At least you die faster. If I was in the position of the guy in the picture underwater I would just spit out my regulator.

Also if you have the tanks on your side and you never take them off to go through a hole you can be pretty sure that you can go through anything back if your remove them. Siphons tho, that's a different story

LoL. I do have a lot of respect for those SCUBA cavers. I had a friend in school who was so disappointed when I didn't say sphygmomanometer, and I love words so much that I try to use the longer/ less used ones when I can get away with it. :-D

I thought the USA was where it was called Spelunking. In the UK it's called Potholing because of the small entrances to vertical caves, or caving.
