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?

scuba is waaay less dangerous. if your shit fails you can surface (depending on depth of course) the bends aint fun

I think they meant cave diving. Spelunking, but underwater. Incredibly dangerous.

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.

No one calls it spelunking who actually does it, at least in USA

I won’t cave to peer pressure, and will always call it spelunking.

Do they call it spelunking where you are? I’m curious if any caving communities actually call it that

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.

The picture makes my skin crawl because I read about the guy.

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.

He’d say “It was made for me! This is my hole!”, and climb in.

The dialogue actually goes the other way, because manga panels (and speech bubbles and texts inside) are read right to left.

Easy, I’d prevent myself from being in that situation. What would you do, order a pizza?
