  • 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!!

    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…

      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.

    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

    Sometimes I consider doing risky/dangerous things just to have a cool story to tell later. Cave diving however and especially to this extreme is something I don’t think I would ever do. The amount of things that can go wrong are too many to count and when things go wrong underwater in a cave with zero visibility the chances of survival falls to less than 1%. Hats off to people that do this just to feel a rush. Truly built different.

      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.

    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.

      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 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.

    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

    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.

      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.

    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.

    Other commenters have said this too, but there’s just something instinctually terrifying about this. A surreal, morbid sign forewarning you of your own watery grave, should you venture further. Surrounded by thousands of pounds of viscous, unbreathable atmosphere. A location devoid of light, save for a flashlight painfully inadequate of illuminating all of the surrounding inky blackness.

      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.

    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.

      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.

    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.

      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.

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. People have died having penetrated just meters into easy caverns and caves, i'm looking to become a save diver soon, and this sign scares even me xD.

    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 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.

    About 10 years ago I got my open water certificate and was really excited to cave dive. Even bought a diving vest that could be used in both dives (which was considerably more expensive). But then, during a bus trip for a dive, they showed a recently released movie called Sanctum. After watching it, I said to myself a big "no thanks" and never mentioned my ex-interest in cave diving ever since.
    EDIT - forgot to mention: the movie is based on a true story. Diving is considered a high-risk activity. To all the keyboard warriors and critics in the comment section, I'll keep my risks to open-water, thank you very much. I feel safer around sharks than under some savorless rocks filled with water in complete darkness, but to each his own.

    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.
