Interesting that there seems to be little silt to blow around.
Also strange to see almost no bubbles but those don't look like re-breathers.

Beautiful.
Cave-diving is dangerous. You need to follow every safety rule ever invented. An ex-cousin-in-law got cocky once and could've died.
I'd love to do it though. With many ropes.

when I was a kid I thought caves were cool, and I remember visiting a lava cave and squirming through tight spots and stuff and loving it. Now caves freak me out. I'll go through a touristy one with sidewalks in it, but the idea of squeezing through a tight gap hundreds of feet underground just gives me the heebs. Throw water into the mix and NO WAY. I bet statistically speaking, it's safer to jump out of a perfectly functional plane, which is another thing I'm not doing.

The problem with that cave is there are no cave spiders.

When I read the title I immediately thought of Orddu (from the Chronicles of Prydain).
I'm not sure which is more terrifying - being underwater in a flooded cave or an ever changing witch with an appetite for flesh and memories.
Oh, yeah. The cave.
Good IoTD though x
