okay these guys are amateurs. every rookie diver knows that if you enter any confined space you bring a line so you can follow it out. a tank of air usually last a little longer than an hour with an experienced diver so you would do 30mins in one direction and 30 mins back, not an hour in the same direction! finally, you NEVER split up with your partner. these morons are lucky they arent fish food.

diving is safe if you arent an idiot.

If you had actually LISTENED to the video, they had wandered into the cave without knowing they were actually IN a cave.

At night this would be pretty easy to do — assuming there are no GO BACK Reaper signs posted.

I agree – amateurs!! First they are wearing snorkels – in confined environments you never where a snorkel – too easy to get caught on things. Second no line!! how stupid is that!! 3rd leaving your dive buddy. Where were they trained??
Diving is safe as long as your ego doesn’t get in the way.
even dive rules of thirds for your air – stupid stupid divers

PS
If your navigation skills are poor, getting lost?? wandered into a cave without knowing it – I think not. I have over 200 dives and I have always asked people/someone about the dive site I am about to dive.

Indeed. You don’t go into a cave by misstake. Damn it must have been dark then. they are just lying there heads off to seam less stupid.

Diving brownwater at night it’s not hard to occasionally get turned around, even momentarily, which is all it takes. I’ve been in the lakes in TN and KY and there are many caves in that region, some of which aren’t documented or known well enough to learn about from other divers. It’s not like diving coasts around commercial resorts/operations where sheer numbers have amassed substantial knowledge of dive spots. As to snorkels, they’re handy in shallow water noodling/spearfishing, even w/scuba.

I can agree with you that it doesn’t take much to get turned around,however leaving your dive buddy?? that is scary stuff. As for the snorkels they are handy at times and it is a PADi rule however if a person goes into overhead environments no one takes a snorkel – too easy to get caught on things.
Too much of cost to not be aware of your surroundings they are very lucky divers – thank goodness
Peace

In am surprised! Not really! The first rule before entering a cave is lay a line! That when when the silt is kicked up or you become disorientated you turn around and it’s hand over hand all teh way to the exit. PADI DM 647814

depends on were you dive, im from denmark and i dive here and in norway, i dive a lot wrecks and some of them is upside down so you have to be carefull not to penetrate by accident, because of the angel one dives in you dont look up much. i can understand this happend and i dont think his a bad diver because i couldnt fin his way out. But i agree they should have known about the caves.

they didnt know that they were going into a cave

What’s even stupider is they were going spearfishing at night…I am an avid spearo, and love night diving, but wouldn’t mix the two….and especially in an area I don’t know much about….spearfishing at night near a cave…..pretty suicidal….

Always a possiblity when your diving.

They didn’t lay a line because they didn’t take the near by caves into account, showing no real environmental assessment before the dive. Even so a seasoned diver will always be weary of their surroundings and carry a spool, even a short one with them in case of such emergencies. His second huge mistake was leaving his dive buddy, extremely irresponsible had he stayed he might have been able to surface with his friend avoiding all of this, kudos on the other guy for bailing out though…
