know what's worse than caves? underwater caves. there was a story a while back of some guy who died on a deep cave dive, his companion decided to go back and retrieve the body with a big backup team and he died as well, then the bodies floated up to the surface :o: yeah, double points Nope.

yeah cave diving is goddamn insane. i grant that it's beautiful down there, but the best cave divers in the world die cave diving all the goddamn time.

there's a book that is about the cave i think you're talking about, it's called Diving Into Darkness

But the body, which had been stuck fast on Shaw's previous dive, somehow detached from the mud when Shaw moved its legs, and started floating free. As Shaw grappled with it, the head came off and, as the video footage revealed, bobbed in and out of the frame, at one point peering directly at the camera, the blackened goggles staring straight at Shaw.

But I need to explore

"You know, if people have climbed that mountain or been in that cave hole already, then you won't be seeing anything new. In fact, even if no one has ever been there, you could stick a camera in to see the probably boring stuff that's in there. Plus, that mountain/cave is very dangerous and there's a good chance you'll die. For nothing."
