Do you think places like this should be closed off as a safty hazard, or that people should freely take the risk? If it took them thirty nine years to recover him it must be a pretty big tunnel system.

I think you have to let people make their own decisions. Maybe whack a sign underwater letting people know it's hazardous and shouldn't be attempted without training etc - but you can't babysit everyone for every hazard.

Sounds like a horrible accident with this guy - but I don't think the vast majority of people should be penalised by closing off areas in an attempt to keep idiots from hurting themselves. That's just darwinism to me.

I don't know anything about cave diving, but I think this is an example of what not to do, and perhaps the reason why some don't make it back.

Ten hours dive time! I like how he triple-quadruple tied the safety line at the beginning. Lesson learned. I'm pleasantly suprised at the size of these tunnels. Thanks for sharing... here's to another night watching (cave) diving videos on youtube.
