That's not cave diving, that's caving. Cave diving includes DIVING for fuck sake.

Rich bored white people always choosing to die doing activities such as diving, mountain climbing, sailing, flying in baloon

>>76399754 (OP)
What is the appeal of cave diving? Is it fun? Are there chances of finding buried treasure? Are there cool rocks or animals in those caves? If an activity has such a high risk, it has to have a high reward, right?

>>76400611
It's all about the adrenaline bro nevermind the fact there are loads of activities that provide similar adrenaline rushes while actually being safe.

>>76400728
it can't be exciting if it's safe

Only ESL people care so much about english syntax. I learned english in England and I couldnt tell you the difference between a verb and a noun. Couldnt care less. I learned english by picking it up intuitively like a boss

There's some truly spectacular scenery underground, which normies never get to see. It's also fun as fuck climbing through a bunch of rocks to get to it - not all caving is tight squeezes. Cave divings a special kind of insanity, but imagine all the above but gracefully flying through a cave instead of climbing it. Thats cave diving.
T. Trained cave diver, though I stick to regular caving now.

Pic related - looking down Titan main shaft, _from halfway up_, there's still 70m of open cave above the cameraman. Done this one a few times and its one of my favourites.

This is how I learned English as a kid. I have no idea what the fuck an adverb is, but I have the best grammar out of most people I know

Based, I never got certified but my region in Italy is chock full of caves, some of them were used as bomb shelters during WWII and up until a while ago you could find some goodies there

In all seriousness i wish this board was more like the survivalistboard autists where you break down every sock you've ever used and how many calories per mile per pound per day... I know its faggy but I basically only work out to go outside and /fit/ seems to mostly oscillate between gym and bedroom

>I'm retarded and I'm proud of being a retard.
You are what is wrong with this world.

>>76400810
Surely you meant ‘cave on other cavers’?

>>76399754 (OP)
Whats even the appeal of cavediving? I get adrenaline junkies who climb mountains without safety and shit like that, it's retarded but at least looks cool. Cavediving is equally or even more dangerous but instead you just crawl in some damp shithole

>>76403481
Caves also have a lot of cool shit. The point isn't the tight spaces, it's that you have to go through them to find the larger caves with the cool shit inside them and making the holes wider just isn't an option (as it could cause the network to cave in).

it's called "developing" a cave and it's done pretty extensively in show-caves; cave-ins are a real risk doing it depending on local roof support conditions and how fractured nearby rock is. for wild caves, it's unfortunately more common to just seal off a very tight section once someone dies in it.

>done pretty extensively in show-caves; cave-ins are a real risk doing it depending on local roof support conditions and how fractured nearby rock is.
if you've ever walked through a huge-ass metal tube into a "show cave" it's 100% because the entrance collapsed while trying to blast open some tiny gopher hole in the "development" process.

>>76399754 (OP)
Is there any worse way to die that this stupid ass shit? Imagine getting stuck there and waiting for death for weeks, shitting and pissing in your pants in complete darkness. You truly have to be exceptionally retarded to even ponder this bullshit.

>>76403589
I can think of 5 or so more retarded ways off the top of my head
>dying of obesity related issues
>dying from lifting without safeties
>dying from being an Indian near a train
>dying from being a Chinese near an escalator
>dying in a sauna in Thailand because you roided
>dying in a shootout because you tried to steal a TV

>>76400810
This is basically what every niche sport and hobby devolves into. Taking something way past the point of cool or fun, just to establish yourself at the top of a hierarchy at any costs.

>>76400782
But that's the same "FAVSTIAN SPIRIT" that compels Jeets to walk in front of trains, no?

>>76403653
No, you get nothing out of filming your own death for a whatsapp status that might lead to potentially woo a sub 4 hairy woman in an oversaturated sexual market in which you could rape anyone you want anyway.
Caving advances humanity as a whole in ways your curry addled brain can't even begin to comprehend.

The trichotomy of man

This and BASE jumping are the two things that will only ever kill white people. As much as I love the outdoors I think that the POC reflex to avoid flooded caves is a good one kek

>>76403594
How about getting partially eaten by a gator while trying to swim to a cave, then dying of sepsis from shitty Florida medical care?

>>76404564
A trichotomy sounds like literally a hair-splitting surgery lmao

>>76399754 (OP)
It's beyond why anyone would do this weighing over 200 pounds. Btw, the guy that got stuck in the cave weighed over 200 pounds

>>76406971
You can definitely cave at 200+lbs if you just avoid really tight squeezes; they are usually not a good idea for small people anyway. Some caves like Mammoth caves have really huge passages you can comfortably walk in for kilometers.

There's a lot more in caves than just stalagmites or stalactites.
