    The best part about cave diving is that you don’t have to do it.

    Every cave diving story is a horror story.

      Sadly, some people really like horror stories.

      The sad part is that someone else inevitably has to clean up after them.

        Not always! Sometimes they leave the body to rot in place.

        Some of us are smart enough to only enjoy the story part of the horror. I can do that and eat pizza if I stay home.

          You can even watch POV videos of people doing it on YouTube … without even wetting your pizza!

    The cave system, which extends deep underground, is also extremely narrow, with some chambers measuring only about 50cm (20in) wide, rescuers say.

    Too bad for Musk and his submarines.

      I can barely make it under my car to check for a leak without almost getting stuck.

          I’ll explore a cave as long as I don’t have to crawl to go further. #ProudBipedal

          Enough stuff can go wrong unexpectedly anyway without going to look for it

    5/7 safe, and 2 still missing. I hope they’re able to find the last two safe and sound. Absolute nightmare scenario to be trapped like that.
