- Came across this sign while I was doing a Cenote cave dive in Mexico. The sign reads as follows: STOP Prevent your death go no Farther!
FACT: More than 300 divers, inculding Open water Instuctors, have died in caves just like this one!
FACT: You needed training to dive,You NEED cave training and cave equipment to cave dive.
FACT: Without cave training and cave equipment Divers CAN die here.
FACT: It CAN happen to YOU!!!
There is nothing in this cave worth dying for!!
Do Not go beyond this point!! - Sport
For those with bad internet connection.
The sign says:

There are many places in life where finding your limits is an exciting and worthwhile endeavor, but at the bottom of an underwater cave is not one of them.
I don’t know what’s worst. Climbing a mountain or caving… they both seem to suck. I don’t think I’m going to find my limits ever too dangerous. I’m just going to stick to sitting in my bedroom replying to CZcams comments and playing games on my pc… maybe those are my limits

I started taking a cave diving class, and the instructor basically said, of the 10 or so people in this class, statistically speaking, like 3 of you will die in a cave. You will know it. In your last hour, you will see your breaths counting down to the end. People have been found in caves holding one another, because they knew. If you’re okay with those odds, enjoy the class, and learn some interesting skills, but if that’s not something you’re willing to face, no shame in heading out now, and I’ll give you your money back…
I got my money back and dipped. No thanks. I’ll stick with diving in open water thank you very much.
Yeeeah fuck that, those are some bad odds. I'll stick the 100% chance of not dying in a cave

Everything reminds me of her...
Their minds clearly are being downloaded by aliens after these dives. No human being would actually enjoy such useless danger. Aliens have co-opted the minds of these divers to explore these caves for them and then they download their brain data when they’re finished. These aliens are in search of specific resources and they can identify where these minerals are just from the formations and patterns in the sand. Don’t believe me ? How could I come with something so outlandish off the top of my head. What I haven’t figured out is why the aliens just don’t do it themselves. I’ll get back to you guys after I figure that out.
I like how this sign pretty much says

Really? Can you actually read?
Can we all agree that Cave Diving is one of the most terrifying things someone could ever do? I have watched enough MrBallen to know that the risk of dying in one of these is way too high. Like if you die way down deep in there, they normally won’t risk another person just to bring your body back up. So you’re literally in a dark watery grave. It’s horrifying.
I think the death by drowning is more horrifying then the logistics of bringing back a body you left behind, it's no longer you anyway.
Id only feel bad for the people finding my body but ... honestly if you're dead you don't worry much anymore.
Cave diving is possibly the last adrenaline junkie thing on earth i would try. I'd rather tightrope walk the grand canyon, at least in the event of a failure I'll die quickly. Wedged between rocks watching your oxygen meter run out...or the diver's knife. What a horrible choice
MrBallen has pointed out how changes in the weather have killed cave divers, too.
What I found really weird was I watched this video 2 days ago because it popped up in my recommended and then I just decided to watch a radom mr ballen video and it happens to be the video on this cave and the sign and how 2 people died and I found it so strange I just had to find this video again and tell you
I don't think that matters much once you die. It's not as if you're conscious after you're dead. And you'll be in a dark box underneath pounds of dirt otherwise
These are actually fairly common signs in diving spots with cave networks in. They’re the exact same make too, grim reaper and warnings of painful slow death and all. I think they’re required to be placed there by law or at the very least they’re put in front of caves that are known to kill divers. There’s one in Vortex Springs in Florida, in front of their underwater cave system which is locked by a steal gate and can only be accessed by instructors or divers with years and years experience (and even then they’ll try and persuade you not to bother). I remember a guy went missing in that cave system a few years back and they never found the body, but they say there’s probably dozens of corpses stashed inside caves like this of similar people who overestimated their talents and crawled inside and got lost and stuck inside the caverns. Apparently there’s even a spot where you have to detach your oxygen tanks and push them through a tight crevice because you won’t be able to fit fully inside with them on. Cave diving is some scary shit
Take off your tank?? Imagine, you do that, squish through the crevice and on the other side are a bunch of bloated corpses..
@@giobikefans thankfully there’s no dead bodies inside Vortex Springs (that haven’t been found at least) but it’s a hell of a tight crawl. The cave does “stop” eventually but to get to the very end, there’s an incredibly tight crevice which, at its worst, is only 8 inches tall. Apparently there’s only a handful of people who have made the push to the end
@@officialFredDurstfanclub I’ve never considered myself claustrophobic but there is no way I’d do any of that, sounds horrifying!
I had to remove my tank in fire fighter training, in a tight tunnel you crawl through (a practice setup), in the dark. Had no problem with that, but I can't imagine doing that underwater, in a cave. You're pushing the thing your life depends on ahead of you, to somewhere you can't really see that well.
Here’s a video of someone breaking into the end of the cave (the tunnel to the end is called the Forth Restriction). Considering very very few people have gotten to the end of the cave, this is a fairly important video

In my eyes cave diving is really no different than playing Russian Roulette. Also, I thought most of the appeal of SCUBA diving was seeing the beauty of under the water. Why you'd want to go in a dark, dangerous cave where you'll probably die is beyond me.
Actually, if Cave Diving really has a 30% chance of death, then it’s statistically more dangerous than one-in-chamber Russian Roulette, in which you have an 83% chance to live, and a 17% chance to never play again. Then again in Russian Roulette, the only control you have over which bullet you land on is whether you spin the chamber before your turn or not. So it’s certainly more random, so take the comparison with a grain of salt.

@@goluyadav2102 thanks hah, the math isn’t all too hard actually, simply divide 1 by 6 and round up, it really gets interesting when you start to introduce more bullets in different patterns.
As one who has dived in caves and seen such signs, it’s likely that beyond this point there could be an underground river of sorts with a flow that you cannot swim against or what very quickly becomes a maze or extremely large cavern where you will very quickly become completely disoriented. The silt getting stirred up isn’t actually too much of a problem. Most of the mud/silt that lines the caves is a thick jello like goopy substance that holds its shape when molded even under water. Kinda reminds me of a super thick pudding.
It can definitely still get dispersed though and other sediments can definitely be present.
Scariest shite...
I havent even considered this and its suddenly been tacked onto the very top of my list of greatest fears
Stop trying to sound smart idiot wtf lolllllllll 🤡
It's funny that there are three schools of thought here in the comments:
1. It's not about getting lost or the dust, the main danger is nitrogen intoxication
2. Even if you barely touch the wall, you'll immediately get surrounded by mud and will get lost
3. You shouldn't be worried about dust/silt, it's just that you can fall into an underground river or get lost in the cave because it's a maze
Each person sounds confident, each has something to back their theory (e.g. experience or a father who served in the navy), each has tons of upvotes, yet all of you kind of contradict each other...
@@anatolydyatlov963
well a lot of comments here are purely I heard this or this person told me such and such, but very few have actual first hand experience.
Nitrogen poisoning/intoxication is very real and a risk in any kind of diving. But we do have depth gauges and any serious diver will have a dive computer that actively tracks your nitrogen levels based on depth and time. As long as you are keeping an eye on it, you should be just fine regardless of max depth (obviously within reason) . And if you cross into the “decompression diving” threshold it will beep. That’s long before you will actually be “intoxicated” however you might be real sick for a few hours after you surface. ( it’s like the worst migraine you could ever imagine matched with bad nausea, body aches, and a cold feeling) And you can even set some models to warn you before you get to that point. People online love to massively overstate the risk because it sounds dramatic and gets their comment likes.
Don’t go too deep (≈40m) and don’t ignore your computer and you will avoid most of the risks
Also depending on where you are in the world the makeup of the walls can vary substantially. That’s just common sense, but I’ve never truly worried that the sediment was going to get so stirred up that I would become disoriented by the sediment alone. You just use common sense, and don’t stir it up unnecessarily. It’s really not like you brush a wall and suddenly you just can’t see. You have to really stir it up to affect your vision in a meaningful way. Not to say that it can’t be stressful. If you give it time it usually settles a bit you just have to stay calm
And yeah anyone with experience diving in caves / aquifers will tell you that they certainly can turn into mazes and there certainly can be flow. I’ve stuck my hand through an opening in some rocks once and felt a current on the other side. It was truly terrifying. And some of these caverns can be massive, definitely not something I’d want to swim into… it’s like what appears to be a black abyss.. that no dive light will effectively penetrate. especially because there is likely going to be other caves leading off of it so it can be very difficult to figure out where you came from. We often carry very long spools of line (with one end tied to a solid place on the surface) that are a precaution to help identify our route if we do happen to become disoriented.
i forget the name but this is a "3 stage" diving hole i believe, was found by a farmer and the first two stages are nothing crazy but right after that sign its a massive drop off into pitch black( theres still sunlight that creeps into the second stage). from there, its super silty and dark as you would imagine, but when a group of divers explored it without permission, only 3 of the 7/8 that went came out alive due to excessive nitrogen they inhaled by not using special air in their tanks and getting stuck in faux exits that were just dead ends.
I can't believe you didn't mention the entrance is a tiny hole that you need to be roped down to the water. That to me is the most notable part so the first stage IS crazy. Also to stay at the bottom of part 2 would require trimix to not get narcosis so that is also pretty crazy in terms of depth. But I agree part 3 is the craziest in terms of technical skill. I would almost certainly not survive.

@@matheuscruz8574 EXACTLY
I used to cave dive in the past. It's by far the most dangerous and probably worst decision I've made statistically speaking. There's so much that can go wrong and generally there's nothing of particular note to see compared to wreck diving. You DEFINITELY need proper, dedicated training. There's special ways of swimming to kick water sideways not down so you don't silt up the water and blind yourself. There's methods of navigation 'pilotage' that you need to do relating to back-casting bearings and noting landmarks. You need backups for your backups. There can be rapid currents that come out of nowhere due to cracks. There can be dangerous wildlife floating through on currents that you can't avoid if they're venomous. And if anything goes wrong, even slightly, you're dead. No where to go and if you panic you just die faster
What made you decide to get into it in the first place despite all the risks?
@@mcchicken1849 adrenaline is probably the most addictive thing on earth

Dangerous wildlife? Any examples of what you could find in a cave? That’s probably the more terrifying part to me
The issue with caves like this is not a fact of people getting lost, getting trapped, or running out of air - rather, those are symptoms of a much greater problem which occurs from diving at depth; a problem that even the world's most experienced and well-trained divers have no means of defense against. It's called nitrogen narcosis. When diving at depth, inert gases (especially nitrogen) force themselves into your bloodstream due to the different pressure. Nitrogen narcosis will, in essence, mimic the effects of extreme alcohol intoxication or a nitrous oxide high. Divers will find themselves extremely confused and easily lost, sometimes diving themselves further into the darkness because they simply no longer know any better. There are even some cases where divers had taken their oxygen respirators off and attempted to inhale water, because the narcosis made them think they had resurfaced. Once nitrogen narcosis kicks in, if you have no wingmen, then you're as good as dead - and the scariest part about it is that you're too far gone from reality to understand that you're dying..
Edit for more info : Nitrogen Narcosis is actually different from "The Bends" as some people believe. The narcosis is the result of a high concentration of inert gases forced into your bloodstream from the high water pressure around you, increasing your nitrogen/ blood content in a similar way that alcohol does when it gets you intoxicated. The result is, as the name suggests, a nitrogen high. "The Bends" is the result of those gases leaving your bloodstream too quickly due to a rapid ascent (and therefore rapid decompression,) and they quite literally boil as they exit your body. The effects of "The Bends" somewhat mimic the feeling of hydrogen cyanide poisoning. You don't often hear about Narcosis because it isn't so much an issue in open water deep dives, as it is in a cave dive. In an open water dive, you need to simply ascend, the speed of which you ascend depends on the severity of the narcosis; which may force you to weather the impending effects of "The Bends." Whereas, if you are in a cave, narcosis can make you too dumb to properly escape. The Bends is dangerous to a deep open water dive; as Narcosis is dangerous to a deep cave dive.
Holy sh*t

You can prevent nitrogen narcosis by slowly going up. I saw a video about people building a bridge or something, and they had to dig really deep, so nitrogen narcosis was a problem. They combatted this by slowly going up. I am not sure why going up slowly fends off nitrogen narcosis though. (Sorry, I got nitrogen narcosis confused with nitrogen sickness, two completely different things)
Me in a video game: “oh, this is where the fun begins.”
Me in real life: *sees grim reaper* “say no more”
As a professional land enjoyer, this video further solidifies my beliefs
I've been enjoying the land for decades!
Reminds me of a documentary I saw once about people searching caves for prehistoric animal bones.
Sometimes you find a cave that will have a sudden drop or pit in it and at the bottom are always massive piles of bones and hundreds or thousands of claw marks in the *solid* *stone* walls.
The animals would go into the caves for shelter or to hibernate, and the further in you go the less light there is. If you have ever been underground you'll know what true darkness is and how unnerving it is to be in an open space in utter blackness.
If the animals went too far they'd just suddenly fall into one of these pits and start to panic, trying to get out, alone in utter darkness.
Even worse, the smell of the dead animals may have actually lead even more in, like a trap.

My uncle was a trained diver in the Navy.
He's told us stories of highly trained military personnel who died in caves. Sometimes, all it takes is gently brushing the wall... and all the dust that was settled for god knows how long is now surrounding you, the water becomes murky, and you can't see. That alone has killed experts. And he's not one to talk a lot about his time in the Navy. I'm sure that's just brushing the surface.

I love how the statement “Theres nothing in this cave worth dying for” isn’t quoted as a fact, because even when faced with death the author of this sign understands how subjective that statement is.
very chilling. even spelunking carries a similar degree of danger, like john jones & nutty putty cave.
i wish more youtube comment sections were like this. people remarking on the content in the video, asking questions, swapping personal stories of relevance... no competition for likes, channel botting, or yelling at each other... curious how all of this is accomplished on a video about death, of all things
I used to go caving in deep rural West Virginia with a girl I knew in college + her friends/family (they were all expert cavers, i was a novice). It was some of the coolest times in my life, so amazing, but easy to understand the danger. One time I dislocated my shoulder climbing over a ~6 meter crevasse-type thing deep in a cave. Luckily I was able to get to the other side and it was fairly simple after that. I had to crawl for another hour with a busted shoulder to get out. I probably explored 15 caves with them over 2 years. I miss it.
Another time, the crew arrived to the cabin a day before I got there. They got special permission from a nearby property owner to go down into an unmapped cave on his property. It was a notorious cave in that area because it wasnt public. 2 hours into the trip, a 25 yr old guy slipped off of a boulder in the cave and snapped his femur when he fell into a crack. 2 people had to go back to the surface and make a 911 call, then wait while the other 3 of them stayed in the cave to take care of the guy. The cave rescue team and firemen took nearly 10 hours to get him out of there with safety procedures. The property owner permanently closed the cave to anyone the next morning.
I remember spending 2 hours the morning that I got there helping wind up the communication line that the rescue team used. It was thousands of feet of phone line, so the rescuers on the surface could communicate to the rescuers going down in the cave.
We almost called the weekend off after that but ended up doing some easy and safe cave explorations since we were there.
The John Jones story made me 100% sure I'd never go spelunking
Death is one of the few things all humans can relate to
Death gives perspectives on life, things get serious and people tend to wiser when they think of how little time they have left or realize how lucky they are to still be alive.
no offense but no, caving is not a similar degree of danger really. but to be specific there may a similar degree in the INCREASE of danger, if that's what you meant.
Little did they know, that sign isn’t from local authorities, it’s actually from the sea serpent who lives just 5 meters beyond that sign. He hates trespassers, since he always comes home from a hard day’s work to see more bodies in his living room.
Honestly, I want to read a book with that premise.
@@ooln7240 yeah I think it would make for a pretty good book for kids and adults.
get out of my cave!
the fact that the “3rd stage” of this cave is pitch black and could literally have piles of dead body without you seeing them
Plot twist: The cave is perfectly safe but the guys who wrote the sign hid a corpse at the end of the cave
I couldn’t actually bring myself to do any underwater diving, but there’s something satisfying about the sound of the equipment under the water. The breathing and the bubbling sounds.

correct, there is nothing there, except more water, rocky and tight corners from where you can't get out if you get stuck, and if you are a lucky person, you might even find skeletons of people who dared to dive deeper..

The fact that it's so much more dangerous, requires you to be on point, tuned in, focused. With a game plan and gear up for the task.

One of the big problems with cave diving that is an unseen killer is the silt. The mud and dirt that has accumulated on the cave floor gets kicked up as you swim through it, but because there is no current, it dissipates incredibly slowly. The finer it is, the lighter it is, the longer the cloud lasts. You can become engulfed in a brown cloud that cuts visibility to zero, instantly causing you to lose all sense of direction. Very easy to sit there, watching your air run out, waiting for the silt to sink down low enough to see again, blinded to the outside world and knowing that if the silt lasts longer than your oxygen, you die right there, thrashing in the mud.
as a complete noob, so please excuse my ignorance, but why not just connect your suit with a line so in case of no orientation, you can simply follow your own line back?
@@hazardeur You've hit upon the precise way experienced cave divers dive, because of the reason you mentioned. Usually they even put little markers on the rope so they can feel it and know which way is which.
You do need proper experience to manage the rope and learn how to work with it, not letting it get tangled, paying out evenly, not accidentally losing it or breaking it, getting the right kind of rope, and knowing how to swim without tying yourself up in the rope, but that is how cave divers dive.
Some of the more popular cave dives usually have already laid a rope out on the "main" pathway that you can tie into to explore side passages.
@@_Cujo_ allright, makes sense. thanks a lot!
Underwater, covered in silt - those are exactly the kind of conditions that lend themselves well to fossilization.
At least the divers will go down in history.
@@ravenwolfkittyface1802 No kidding. Some caves are also very cold and the water isn't well oxygenated because of lack of current, so the body itself would probably survive intact for possibly years, no bacteria to decompose the flesh. The Great Lakes in the US are like that as well. Shipwrecks go so deep and so cold that divers have found fully clothed bodies inside.
There is also a cave called the shaft in Australia with the same signs. I think about 16 divers drowned there and there wasa survivor of this cave and his story is absolutely terrifying.
Do tell.
Tell us his story!
There is a video called 'The hole that has killed 16 people' that covers the exact story, *but* I recall there was a video told by one of the survivors directly reacting to that video and they poked a few holes in Mr Bellen's story so the story so while it's not 100% accurate I couldn't find the video of the storytelling by the survivor I found before (It was a youtube recommend that put it in front of me. Maybe you guys will be lucky and find it while watching the video who knows.)
Also there is the 4th chamber of jacob’s well. Nobody knows what it looks like because everybody who went there died.
I love that y’all immediately turned back. Respect
A big issue is dust. A lot of areas past a sign like this are fairly cramped. If you hit the walls in one of these areas, dust will scatter and visibility will drop to zero. It makes getting out pretty difficult.
Not to mention the difference in pressure zones in underwater caves.
This is what kills people in ship wrecks. You breathe more molecules of air at a time at depth to maintain pressure in your lungs against the water, so you run out of air more quickly the deeper you go. The water you push back with your fins kicks up silt that's drifted in over the years, and pretty soon you can't see a foot front of you. You have less than ten minutes to find your way out. You don't.
I was honestly like, what could happen tho, but this image is terrifying. nevermind i dont wanna know the rest.
Usually referred to as silt if anyone wants to know. The effect can last for minutes or for months depending on the water flow of the cave. Have a great day.
@Vatrogasac Mirko Delta P doesn't really happen in caves. It's mostly in artificial situations that have drains or valves where it occurs.
When you're down there, it's more like being in space than home. Explaining the thrill of the unknown is alot harder than explaining the risk
there's nothing unknown down there, it's just a cave full of rocks or other minerals. what they're doing is nothing less than just purely redundant. there's nothing to receive from these risks they, and other divers take.
@@darukan you don’t know that
@@darukan well with that mindset much of life isn't worth living eh? Aren't we all just doing things millions of others have done/are repeating?
They are doing it for the personal experience, because they enjoy it, and (ideally) understand the risks.
With proper cave training, maintained diving equipment, and responsible decision making skills this shouldn't be any riskier than a walk in the park.
@@darukan actually in caves like that there are almost always very old prehistoric bones and remains from dead animals, along with claw marks along the walls.
@@TheRedTigon we do know that. cave divers are retards that take themselves off the census.

You'd be a goner already. There are two things that a lot of people enjoy in diving. Those are the bubbles you make, and weightlessness. Thing is, If you turn back, and fin wrong, then you'll kick up silt from the bottom. Vis is zero, so bad that you can be upside down, swimming deeper into the cave, and think that you're getting out.

Glad people put stuff like this up. Fortunately, even without the sign this is a terrifying nightmare for me, so I don’t gotta worry about it.
Took a scuba diving class with my dad and ended up passing the class so the teacher took us all to this place in Florida called Devil’s Den (proper name ik). So we went, the cave was 50ft deep and had multiple smaller tunnel systems stemming off from the single cavern. We all get on our gear and get down in the water for the first time. This is my first time cave diving so I had 0 experience with this. I went down and sat at the bottom with all of my fellow classmates in a circle. My dad tries to come down but ends up swimming back up. I later found out he couldnt change the pressure in his ears so he couldnt go down. We began swimming around exploring and one of the absolute dumbasses in the class decided it would be a great idea to ignore one of these signs and tried to go into the tunnel. Luckily, an instructor was there and snatched him out and told him to go up. It was fun for the most part as long as you didn’t decide to ignore signs.
I'm glad your experience was somewhat pleasant. Sucks some people don't want to read warnings sometimes.

Natural selection right there.
I just got my diving license and deepest I’ve gone is 20 meters. Holy shit that shark was terrifying, I was swimming behind some other students who where more experienced in a very tight coral reef, there was a point where two huge boulders that had pressed against each other and had a little cave like space between them. We swam through it, except I didn’t. The nozzle on my tank got stuck in a space in the bolder, where the back of the tank had got wedged in the same space. So there I was. In a pitch black extremely claustrophobic space with no way to get out.We didn’t back torches because the bit with the cave was only gonna last like 20 seconds so there was no way I could signal the instructor. Somehow one of the other students found me and tried to pull me out. Unfortunately they couldn’t go in front of me and pull directly because of the width of the cave. I had to put my arms and legs at a super weird diagonal angle and push as hard as I could and only then could I remove myself, this whole time I’m panicking because I’ve only been diving 3 times and never in conditions even resembling that. The area was also a Reef Shark migrating sight or something. Reef Sharks are only like the size of a person-ish, so not big for sharks but still really big. While looking down the other end of the cave at the bit with the light pouring in I just see the silhouette of a shark swim past and I just booked it down and so did the other kid with me.
And that is exactly why I'm terrified of the ocean. No thanks, I'm never gonna go diving!

At least you’re here to tell the tale
I’ve been here and it’s a really cool sign and it’s only like 30 feet from the exit of the cave. That sign basically stops people from going into the REAL caves where if you have a problem you can’t just swim to the surface on one breath. Before the sign is an area where you’re close to the open air so you can dive there without extra certification. Beyond the sign is a network of kilometres of tunnels, some only as wide as your shoulders.
If an inexperienced river goes into there they can get VERY lost in the ~1hr that their air lasts them. It’s chac mool cenote in Mexico and it’s absolutely beautiful in the first 20 feet of the cave.
I get lost even in couple meters long caves in videogame Subnautica's "safe shallows"

I love that sign, thanks for taking a video of it
Satisfied with the video capturing of the well known danger sign, they began to turn back, as their body language communicated to each other how eerie the scene was in that moment. Just then, completely unbeknownst to the divers, a modest 3.6 magnitude earthquake shook the depths of the earth just a few miles away from the cave. Their lights were still on, they were both still hoovering 8 feet away from one another, but they couldn't see a single inch in front of their bodies anymore.
