Probably the nth person to recommend it, but NatGeo did a documentary on the rescue operation where those soccer kids got trapped in a flooded cave and hobbyists were navigating underwater rapids to reach them...it's an incredible watch with GoPro perspectives. Must watch.

Mister Speaker posted:How was the Bends discovered, anyway? Did loads of people in archaic diving bells and pressure suits die horribly before anyone figured it out? Pretty sure the Romans made their slaves use diving bells to harvest the mullisk they made Caesars purple clothes from. I can't imagine they were very big into safety.

I simply don't go near the water. Which is ironic since I grew up within visual distance of the Atlantic and never had anything bad happen on or in it.

I did some scuba cave diving in an underground lake once. It was disconcerting.

Doing a EVA in orbit somehow seems less risky than cave diving.

Everything I know about diving I learned from Treasure Diver, a CYOA book I got for a birthday as a kid, which features numerous endings that result in various descriptive horrifying deaths. That, along with my inability to tread water, convinced me at a young age that diving was not the thing for me.
