    yeah, that's an interesting video.
    If you haven't come across it, all of Johnathan Bird's BLUE WOOORLD! is on YouTube too and covers some interesting cave dives in all sorts of places, with high production quality: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELXv2LnohkM

  One of the most dangerous things you can do. I've dived lots of shipwrecks and penetrated them but I won't do cave.

  Average 3 deaths per year cave diving.
  Average skinny 48 deaths per season.
  High risk, but with right training and practices not necessarily more dangerous than other hobbies like general aviation, skiing.
