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

    There’s nothing in this cave worth dying for

    There’s nothing outside it to live for. Show me the damn cave

    Okay, they almost had me convinced. But the second to last sentence is just crying out for a treasure.

    Am I the only one for whom prefacing a statement with “FACT”, makes said statement less credible?

    That’s precisely what someone would say if there’s stuff worth dying for in there.

    I believe this is one of the caves at Ginnie Springs. If so, I know a guy who died in there. Cave diving is no joke.

    Theres a good podcasts by stuff you should know on this. A scary thought to me is about kicking up sediment, causing zero visibility and they cant even see their hand in front of their goggles

      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.
