I'm just a big toasty cinnamon bun that isn't fatally trapped in a crevice. (thelemmy.club)

The idea of a “silt out” cave diving is absolutely terrifying to me. That you can accidentally kick up some dust and then you’ll have no idea which way is up or down, that you’ll be flailing around in the water and won’t be able to see anything is nightmarish..

    If you're not suicidally stupid you'll already be holding onto the rope leading to safety with plastic arrows attached every few feet pointing to the exit so you know which way along the rope is out. Never let go of the rope! (You're usually tied to it also, but ofc you gotta unclip to switch rope or go around an anchor where the rope is attached to the rock)
