    Caving and by extension cave diving is a ‘not even once’ activity for me.

    Can we just ban spelunking and cave diving? There the two most dangerous activities besides Russian roulette with a fully loaded gun.

      No, don’t ban it, just ensure the participants are insured up to their eyeballs to cover any recovery fees.

        Even better, no insurance but also no recovery.

        Ah shit, you slipped and fell in that hole. Well it would cost $20 in rope to save you so…anyways group, coming up on your left is a large stalagmite…

      These were poor people trying to grub out some bits of gold, or catch some animal in there for food, not an organized trip. Probably no way to keep them out unless the cave is gated, and there’s probably no local government to do that.
